How Do You Rid Your Home Of Mice?

I just caught two the humane way!

1. Cut water bottle in half.
2. Put peanut butter on one end
3. Put something to counter the weight of the peanut butter. I used tic tacs!
4. Set as much of the bottle over the edge of a high ledge as possible without tipping it over
5. Place bucket underneath

Voila! Two mice saved that I will release in the woods, far from sticky glue or gruesome metal traps

 

Here was something I actually did years ago late at night when I saw a mouse behind a wood cabinet in the living room.

On one side of the cabinet, I set up a simple trap with a small canister held up with a short pencil tied to a string. I aligned it right up next to the wall because mice usually run along side of walls. When the trap was set, I took a ruler and I started poking on the other side of the furniture, and this scared the mouse and he ran the opposite way towards the canister, along the wall just as I expected. I pulled the string and the canister dropped on the mouse and captured it.

Wish I had the brains to master affiliate marketing though and not catching mice.

 

Why not use a mouse trap? I think you can get them at Home Depot or walmart for a cheap price. Get some cheese and get rid of them.

Or, you could use google to find homemade ways of making mouse traps. I'm sure there are a lot of different methods to make a mouse trap with homemade items.

I don't think it would be cheaper though...

 

i am thinking only one solution for me. Just adopt 10 Cats, they are working 24 hours to catch the mouse.

 

I agree. A shotgun can rid the home if mice.

 

Watch Kenan And Kel - Episode - That Dirty Rat!

 

its not a shotgun, its a pellet or bb gun.

and i prefer to let our cats handle problems like that, and handle it they do.

 

I know what kind of gun it is. I ws joking. Cats are a great solution to the problem.

 

I have 3 cats, the mice don't usually get that far. Although one doesn't really catch animals much, he's a lover not a fighter

 

i actully drowned them in beer... i placed a (dont know the work for big cirular thing in english ) full of beer and it worked like snails. they come, they drink, they fall in, they die.

 

a bowl?

 

Cats work really well

 

I would use traps or if they're in the garden use a home made flame thrower.

 

Yes cats love mice

 

Buy a cat and problem is solved. Bad for mice but fun for the cat.
Way of the nature.

 

That is quite possibly the best idea I've heard in a long time.

Although right now I have the two mice in an aquarium with some food and water until I can release them. And they like to dance on the rim of the water bowl, so I don't know. Maybe we have smarter mice

 

Was once sat down on the sofa with a cup of tea minding my own business when a mouse appeared from behind the fireplace and ran straight up my trouser leg i jumped up and the cup of tea hit the ceiling dont know who was more shocked me or the mouse caught it eventually with a mousetrap.

 

Put an eviction notice over the mouse hole.
