What's the best new fangled way to get ride if mice??

Mix vinegar with peppermint essential oil and spray all over the inside of his apartment. Do repeatedly for a while.

Get a cat. Don't feed it much.

Aviary traps. You have to drown the mice, but nothing gets rid of them faster. In plagues. A greased broomstick with nailed on bacon above water bucket gets the most.

Buy an electric trap.. They also make them in large for rats.

I don't kill them. Can't stand to pick up a dead mouse from a trap. Creepy.

I bought these, and they are great! I catch one and drive him/her up the road to the park and release. Very easy to do!

I live in the northeast, and they enter my garage in the fall before winter sets in. Using these traps and putting peanut butter in the trap as instructed, you can catch them easily. Best traps I ever purchased!

Before purchasing these last fall, I used metal "Havahart"
traps for mice. I put sunflower seeds inside and set the trap, which I had done many times with success. To my surprise, both doors on the trap closed, that damn mouse ate the seed but somehow escaped through a 1/4 inch space on that trap! I had to laugh. That's when I found the traps on Amazon. They work! No possibility of the mouse escaping!

5 gallon bucket with a few inches of Anti-Freeze in the bottom. Put a hanger straight through where the handle would go. poke a hole in an aluminum can and slide into the hanger... it should spin... put peanut butter on the can... wait... the mouse will go for the peanut butter and fall in.. the anit-freeze will preserve it so no smell. We use these in hunting cabins...

Tomcat traps and bait - green blocks sold at Tractor Supply mmwirks great in the camper over the winter

They have a plastic housing you can get to keep cats and dogs safe - only mice can get to the bait

I like the way you think.

And cats.

Old school snap traps 3 for $1 kind

Bait the traps with peanut butter and don't be stingy with it.

We use five gallon buckets with water and some sunflower seeds to conceal the water - cover and they float

No need for the spinning cans or peanut butter contraptions

With a piece of wood or 2x4 the chipmunks and nice March right up the plank and jump right in ... and drown


Can catch about 7 in an afternoon while watching with a beer

Antifreeze is dangerous to cats and dogs and small children - where can you dump it that’s safe?

Also a pail of water is especially dangerous to toddlers
(BE ON GUARD- children can drown in a few inches of water if they are stuck upside down )

For the small space indoors - use Tomcat bait enclosed to keep pets safe

I love ALL animals - don’t want cats and dogs to get poisoned - not paid to recommend anything

The best, I have caught over ten at a time, so gets rid of all of them fast

You need traps that can catch multiple mice and rats each night otherwise you will never get ahead of them.

Cat.

Did I mention the electric ones have an alarm when triggered?
Mine even came with a light for if you use it in the attic.

Just dump out in the trash.
You barely see the critter.

Peanut butter on mouse trap and poison stations every 3 feet..in a few days you'll need more traps cause they'll all have little broken necks or be dead from the swollen belly's the poison caused!!! Toss them all in a funeral pyre and have a drink!!! Hahaha, theys all burning in mousey hell now!! Hahaha!!!

"Walk The Plank Trap".

Let them breed. You might need to eat them

My hen LOVES to catch & eat mice,I was pleasantly horrified.

They just lick off the peanut butter without springing the trap. Mice and rats, especially rats, aren't dumb and they get wise to those traps pretty quick.

Cat and plant mint around your house especially near kitchen

This. Or do the stick/water bucket trick. They fall in the water and can't get out.

My cat got one Friday from outside.

Old fashion mouse trap works great.

Worked in my garage.
