Hey Sara I can say that we too have used the snap traps and perhaps you will be comforted to know that while we had at least one trap going off every two or three days we have not seen a mouse now in about 6 months! So between the traps & our cat we are doing well although shortly after we stopped seeing them, Angi & Mike had them at thier house, perhaps they are migrating in that direction! (Sorry Ang)

oh Angi – I’m so depressed to hear that we can’t just get rid of mice and be done with them… I’m also hoping I can stick fast to my “ew mice are gross” face and let Zach clean up the bloody messes (wish me luck)

We will hopefully retrieve our cat, Oscar, this weekend. He used to be excellent about catching mice, and then we didn’t have any for years and years and he got lazy. The last mouse we had, he barely lifted his head when he saw it… I’m hoping he’s gotten his energy back! Also, we needed to find a way to block off the green house with the cedar floor, since we don’t want Oscar to think that is his personal (ginormous) litter box

I agree about the cat. Cats are one of the most effective ways of getting rid of mice. I’m a dog person, so cats are only slightly more appealing than mice, but cats don’t die in your walls and stink up your house for days (hopefully you’ll get rid of the mice before that happens!)

Good luck!

GET YOUR CAT BACK!!!!! And spray foam in every nook and cranny is only a temporary fix…we have tried it!! We use the sticky traps that they go into and can’t get out (but they can dry up quick) I guess the old fashion ones with peanut butter on them work best (just don”t put them where the kids will accidentally get them) ….and prepare for Zach to yell alot when setting them!!!! (oh and really icky bloody messes…sorry to be so blunt but whoever sees it first in our house has to clean it…) GOOD LUCK…doesn’t matter the age of the house…they get in anywhere!!!
