So, our problem is we have mice?

Question

I started finding droppings in our bottom cabinets. I have never found any damage whatsoever, no has there been any "food invasion". So I went to Ace Hardware and bought a nice humane trap-I definitely didn't want to hurt/kill him. So I caught him but an unfortunate incident happened and we had to let him go outside our house. I knew he'd be back, so I put the trap back and there he was the next day. This time I drove him 4 miles away and let him go ina big open field. For about 3 weeks, nothing. Now Im finding droppings again. I wouldn't care much except that I have a 9.5 month old daughter who crawls around and as everyone knows: babies put EVERYTHING into their mouths. I don't want her to come across any and put it in her mouth. I know they aren't big, but it could happen. I dont know what to do. I want them ALL gone. I have no idea how many there are. I put the trap back out last night by the dog dishes and when I woke up this morning, the mouse/mice had eaten the remaining food in the dish (and as if to say, haha pooped and peed in the dog food dish)...and ate the food leading into the trap, but there was nothing caught. Im to the point where I just want to poison them, kill them, whatever, but I DON'T want the smell of rotting mice bodies in my house. I just don't know what to do or where to go. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Answer 1

Mouse droppings are the source of Hantavirus Disease. Do not vacuum or sweep mouse droppings up, when the spores of Hantavirus goes airborne, you breath them in and catch the disease.   Use a damp paper towel to clean them up so the dust and spores will stick to the paper towel.

More people die from Hantavirus every year than all the people who have ever died from household mold. For some reason the media goes nuts over mold and doesn't give any attention to Hantavirus.

Mice enter your house through the openings for pipes and the such. Look under the sinks and in the utilities room for openings around the pipes. A mouse can squeeze through an amazingly small crack.

Get some spray foam and seal around the pipes entering your walls, and around the pipes under the sinks if they aren't already sealed.

As the weather turns cold, mice will be looking for a nice warm house to spend the winter.

Answer 2

they have mouse traps that have a sticky surface. the mouse gets trapped because of the stickyness and then dies usually becuz it has no food or becuz it suffocates. some say to put peanut butter on the trap...idk if it works. put like 10 or 12 of these traps around your house and see if you get any in them. usually you have to somehow pick up the trap with the mouse in it, so dont be too squeemish (i knew a friend who had to call her neighbor over becuz she was to afraid)

if this doesn't help, i'm sorry, but good luck catching the mice

Answer 3

Usually when there is 1 mouse there are 3 or 4 more. Just set some traps out of the way with peanut butter on them and then put foil over top the peanut butter,that way it will be harder for them to steal the peanut butter and better chance of catching them. good luck

Answer 4

Purchase a mouse poison that dehydrates the mouse.  This way, once they eat the poison they don't rot away in the walls.

I've used ultrasonic pest devices in the past with great success. They plug into any wall outlet and emit a noise that is imperceptible to people but highly irritating to rodents.  They worked extremely well, but you have to keep in mind that they are also harmful to rodent pets (hamsters, guinea pigs).
