I have a ****ing mouse epidemic.
What can I do, if anything?
I have seriously lost track of the total number of mice I have killed since it has been cold...I threw away 5 traps today alone(that's a record, but still).
We aren't slobs...We don't leave food out and all of the food in the kitchen is in top cabinets that aren't accessible to these little bastards.
The only food available is my Dog's food, but he usually leaves the bowl empty before the lights go out...Not that that is completely stopping them, because I'll see them during the day too; they are bold little ****ers.
I really don't want to use poison, because the thought of dead mice rotting in my walls not only repulses me, but if they started to rot and stink, I'd burn the house down.
For awhile, they weren't eating the peanut butter on the mouse traps, then when they started eating it, they were getting it before the trap would go off. Now, it seems they are getting lazy and complacent and I'm catching them again, so hopefully this trend continues and I'll check them all sooner rather than later.
Does anyone that's had a mouse problem have any tips/tricks I could use to speed up the process?
Has anyone with a BAD mouse problem ever used poison? If so, could you smell them decomposing?
