richhotrainThat may or may not be true, but Batman's post is a heck of a lot easier to understand.
Overmod richhotrain LOL, I prefer Batman's three word answer. Yes, they amount to the same. But some people might treat Batman's as an opinion.

richhotrainLooks like they are best friends.
It was actually a professional relationship. The mouse was in therapy after being turned down for a role in a Disney movie.

Overmod BATMAN CRIP 4376 We found two things that work: D-Con pellets NO! NO! NO! To better substantiate this, read the relevant sections in the Merck Veterinary Manual. In the olden days of red-squill extract and 'warfarin', there was relatively less danger of 'pet' toxicity -- but a very stupid (in my opinion) choice was made in the second-generation anticoagulants, particularly bradifacoum. Mercifully this was taken off the market a half-decade ago, but its replacement (a form of vitamin D3) has its own toxicities ... and perhaps tellingly, the Merck Manual says that 'relay toxicosis ... has not been documented.'

Poison kills rodent. Dog, cat, birds and any other animal that may like a meat treat eats rodent is killed by the poison the rodent ate. Being married to a Vet that I have accompanied on many late-night emergencies only to have to watch a beloved pet die an agonizing death because it ate a dead mouse it found full of rodent poison.
One of our Golden Retrievers grabbed a dead mouse on a walk and swallowed it before we could get it from her and spent a week in intensive care clinging to life, she survived but it took its toll and she has never been the same.
How many times have you seen a bird eating a carcass of a dead rodent? Don't we do enough damage to this planet without poisoning the wildlife just because we are too lazy to empty a trap?

That is a tragedy. I hope it is all going to be quick and easy to fix.

I'm here and say thanks to all responses. I've been busy setting traps and building and planting new trees as my pike looks like a hurricane hit it. I do usually respond to my posts.
CRIP 4376the Kness Mfg. Co. mouse trap.
Wouldn't John Allen have had fun naming the resulting 'establishments'? Especially with the drowning attachment deployed (although the OP said he 'hated to kill them', others might be much less reluctant if the 'catch' were disposable...) Designs by Ironside and Malone, classical neo-Georgian features with the efficiency of modern techniques ... say no more! Know what I mean?
The first house we lived in was infested. We found two things that work: D-Con pellets and the Kness Mfg. Co. mouse trap. Get the drowning attachment for the Kness trap.

Mice can jump.......keep that in mind when planning traps.
SD70DudeMouse. There was only one
Hey! I just thought of something! Nail those squirrel-trap inverted sheet-metal funnels on the legs of the layout and an angled sheet where it touches the wall...
... and if that doesn't quite work, electrify them.
Overmod Perhaps they are kin of the mice in Mouse Hunt.

Mouse. There was only one, which makes him even scarier, especially considering what he did to Christopher Walken!

mbinsewiYour right Rich! 2 pages, and nothing more from Howard!
I have noticed that Howard seems not to respond much to threads he initiates.
wjstixWe had trouble with them getting into the garage, got into my wife's SUV and chewed up the wiring doing like $600 damage (NOT covered by the warranty by the way).
Should have been covered under comprehensive on your auto insurance.
I find that the glue traps work best out of all the trap types. Just lay them down in areas along your walls where mice go (they tend to run right along wall as opposed to out in open spaces) and they will walk right onto them. My wife talked to a pest control guy who was dealing with mice at the house she is a nanny at. He recommended the glue traps. My mom had mice problems in her basement and since setting the glue traps we've caught at least 5 mice. I've also looked for entry points but didn't find any but will look again.

richhotrainI am concerned for Howard's well being, Frankie. Could the mice be alien creatures who captured Howard and took him up to the mothership?

His mouse problem might be a little more serious than the rest of think!
Anybody here live close to him?

Take Care!

'Tis personal now. Not only kill that mouse, torture it. Smack him around. Throw it against the wall. And if there's one spark of life left in its twitching little body, strap it to a chair, tape its eyelids open and make it watch thirtysomething.
Pity Mike Semon's "Know Your Mouse" is out of print.
Um, taking the Al Bundy approach has its merits.

We had trouble with them getting into the garage, got into my wife's SUV and chewed up the wiring doing like $600 damage (NOT covered by the warranty by the way). We sealed up all the cracks around the base with steel wool and then caulk. We regularly spray the motors of both cars with peppermint oil. Be careful if you mix it in the house, it's really strong smelling.
