if you use a glue trap be sure to blanche them in boiling water for 2 minutes, remove and split them from there belly to thier tail. throw guts away and place on skewer 2-3 mice at a time, sprinkle with garlic salt and chili powder and cook on grill for 2 mins each side!

PLease use anything other than glue traps.  Anyone with an once of humanity can see how terrible these are.  I've witnessed it myself and came to tears.  Its slow and painful and the squeal helplessly.  Torture isn't necessary with so many other effective alternatives.

i live in the country and have mice really bad....i also have dogs that were bred to kill rodents...so i cant put out any poision in fear that my dogs will eat the mice after the mouse has eaten the poision...they get into the walls of my stove and get the insulation out...but not before urinating in the insulation...and when i turn the oven on  it smells to high heaven...if you think mice urine smells bad....wait til you smell it heated up!!!!!!  uughhhhh!!!!! going broke trying all kinds of traps...etc...what to do??? and yes my dogs do catch them...but they multiply faster than the dogs kill them....

Just a note on poisons/pesticides like D-Con and the like.  They are not designed just to kill rats and mice, they are designed to kill any mammal that ingests them.  They can and do kill housepets.  Personally, I find the recommendation of just "keep a supply vitamin K1 around" incredibly irresponsible.  If you suspect your pet has ingested a mouse or rat bait, it needs to be seen immediately by your veterinarian, as there is testing that can be done to determine (a) if treatment is needed, and (b) when treatment can be safely discontinued, as many rodenticides can be long-acting.  The dosage for vitamin K is not the same for a 10 lb dog as it would be for a 150 lb human and extrapolation based on a guesstimate can be dangerous for the animal.

Do not try to DIY-treat your animal for rodenticide poisoning.  This is a medical condition that requires medical guidance.  I'm frankly appalled that MSN is proposing to be a doctor in this case.

I HATE MICE!!

 Especially, when they are in my house!

 I just had one run across my head while

I was sleeping the other night. YUCK!!

I think he was trying to use my head as

a spring board to get to my dresser, where

I had 2 cans of almonds and nuts.

I didn't catch him....so he's somewhere

in the house. If he knows what's good for

him...he better leave the same way he came

in or SNAP!

YES, SNAP!! There are too many mice to be nice.

My cat is a full time house cat , well fed lzay and half blind. After a nearby field nearby was mowed the mice started moving into homes closeby. My cat-less neighbor killed 11 while we only had two. Both were left as present in kitchen.

I understand that rodents are a health hazard in your home.  The deer mouse population has been found to be 100% infected with Hanta virus and the field/house mouse at least 17% infected.  It is the feces and urine that pose the problem.  Therefore, eliminating them from your home is necessary, if undesirable.  As bad as their presence is, they are still living things and deserve to be dispatched humanely.  Poisons pose the 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation kill- killing many more down the road.  Snap traps are cruel- I have seen mice caught in them that suffered for a long time before death.  Glue traps are equally cruel.  Live traps work, if you get to them quickly.  I have had mice eat their friends in a live trap.  The fastest, most humane method that I have found, after much research, is a Rat Zapper.  It literally dispatches the little guy in an instant- no suffering, maiming, agonizing or blood.  I have cats and they will eradicate the mice in the living spaces.  I had an Aussie that was a great mouser.  BUT, I live in a wooded area and have a garage and crawl space that the kitties can't  patrol and rodents are a year round issue. So I keep the Rat Zappers up and running 12 months of the year.  Works great.

Having worked in pest control I can tell you this, everyone of the remedies work, but the problem is how fast. Rodents have a built in survival instinct that kicks in when you start to kill them off. To be effective you must kill quickly or risk compounding you problem. The best method I have ever used is mixing zinc oxide powder with hamburger meat, put this out in small balls for them to eat, it kill very quickly. Why? Rats and Mice can't throw-up so they choke to death in minutes. No warning, thus no breeding to repopulate.  ONE point of warning be sure to keep your pets penned up until all bait is consumed this could make them sick.

Ive tried all the baits, all the methods, and ya know what is hands down the most sucessfull ? (and it's not a cat, because I have two of them and they don't work).  I had a serious mouse problem in my shed. Now I use good old fashioned skull crushing snap traps and peanut butter for bait. I kill about a mouse every week.  Problem solved.

I have used KAPUT products for years and they are fantastic!  I have never had a bad smell from dead mice or voles, it is safe around my pets and so very easy to use.  I completely trust and recommend this product and to my understanding it has met all EPA stuff so I will continue to use it if needed.  This year however I have not had my yearly problem with them so maybe I finally got rid of them for good! :)

Mice and rats are cute and squeaky in Disneyana, but in NYC they eat the toes from infants in the cribs, and often attack en masse hapless pedestrians in broad daylight. The Parisian sewer rat is often confused with large dogs by people in passing, while scurrying in the evening mists/

I find the best way to rid your home of mice for @ least 5 years, is to buy a glue trap. Catch

one & leave him in there ( don't move trap ) until he dies. Apparently this scares the hell out

of all associates...They will not inter your home afterwards.

The best mousetrap is a good cat, hands down.  Ours are indoor only cats, but they have no problems with catching mice when the opportunity arises. Mice figure out that there are cats in the house, and they go elsewhere.

If food prices get any higher, we may be eating them our selves.
