please and thank you will choose best answer?

Answer 1

Theres live traps  

Answer 2

they make no kill traps that are actually alot more effective to trapping mice. its like a cage . you put the bait in, they walk in and cant get out. then you take them to a field or something and release them

Answer 3

I've heard about these sticky traps.

Like mice get stuck on them they you can get them off and put them outside.  

Answer 4

You can catch them in a humane trap. They aren't too expensive. But, if you release them anywhere near your house, they'll be right back, and it's really slow going getting them caught. I never had much luck with mine.

Edit: I saw the first answer. Dang, I wish I had known that.

Answer 5

They should have traps that catch the mice in and they they can let them go

Answer 6

It is most definately not true. You could put some cheese in a small box, poke airholes in the box, lay it on the floor and hide behind a corner until the some mice enter the box. When ( if ) one enters the box, quickly grab the box and close the lid. Then carry the box outside and let it out a distance away from the house. Then search(inside and out) for any holes the mice could get into. Board them up(if you find any.) and make sure that they can't get back in. They should be gone within 24 hours.

Answer 7

It is not true. Most exterminators have options where they will spray a repellent down that will rid your house of the mice. That's what we did in my home. If they don't have that, they also generally have metal traps that will simply trap the mouse inside the metal box. Then the exterminator comes to check the traps and lets them out.

There is also a repellent you can buy, called Shake Away, and put around your house to repel the mice.

well... believe it or not, i believe rodents do not like the smell of peppermint. there are bottles of peppermint-scent liquids in a lot of local stores like walgreens (i think they can be found there). the main purpose of these bottles are for aroma therapy, but like baking soda, they have more than one use.

moisten some cotton balls with the peppermint scent and then put the cottonballs in places where u find droppings.

eventually, they'll all be flushed out.

again, i only heard about this from a fren who tried it herself. i am not sure if it will work for sure or not.
