Mouse in the house

[Rockbadchild]

Put a few of these outside you will clean them up... by far the best trap ever you will even catch squirrel in there... make sure to fill 1/4 of the pale with water so they drown.

I've had outside cats a few times. By far and away - the best cure for mice and chipmunks.

However - they tend to go outside the influence of the yard light at night. It's the coyotes in the bushes and the owls in the trees. Slowly but surely - their numbers reduce.

A good barn cat - worth its weight in gold.

Have you ever watched a cat play with a captured mouse before it's killed.

When we had a garden - the cat would follow right behind me when I would rototill in the spring. The tiller would always turn up mice. The cat was right there to greet them.

Are you sure it's not squirrels?
I have used Decon for mice and rats and a wire cage baited with pecans for squirrels.
