Scott, I found the new plastic spring traps are too insensitive, I found =
the old metal ones and they work fine. The mice come and go in my =
kitchen, but if I keep at it, they usually disappear for quite awhile =
after I've caught a few.=20
I've tried the high frequency devices you plug in to keep them away. =
I've heard some people have good luck with them. They haven't worked =
well for me. Pretty cheap, worth a try.
I read recently that feral cats are decimating the bird population, so I =
wouldn't be in a hurry to put another cat out there.
One guy said he used a 2 gallon can 1/2 full of gas. He put some sort of =
slippery rod across the top, greased I think, with cheese or something =
in the middle. The mice would fall in the gas trying to get the bait. He =
said he caught 25 mice or so in his garage that way.
