Please consider humane mouse traps.
The glue traps, snap traps and poison are all inhumane and cruel in their own ways. You just have to check the traps often and then release them in a nearby park.  I think it's a great way to teach compassion to children too. From the tone of your post I sense you will also feel better doing this - rather than finding a poor baby suffering and fighting for her life in a glue trap, not a pleasant image to live with! ( Many years ago I found a tiny mouse struggling in a glue trap at a friend's home - and it still haunts me sometimes.) |

We had mice in my first university apt -2nd floor of a very old house. We did use traps (the old kind) and also borrowed a relative's cat for a few weeks and that helped.

Look on the bright side:

i agree the glue traps and the snap ones are both inhumane ... i think if the problem persists i will try one of these.
