Mice

[spotit3]

My daughter had a mouse in her house and can't seem to get rid of it. She has tried all sorts of traps and it eats the stuff off the trap but is never caught. Her young daughter refuses to sleep in her own bed until it is caught.
Any help would be much appreciated.

The trap must be set very fine, watch your fingers though :-)

Best place to put your traps is against the wall, mice run round the edges and are more likely to get caught.

I wouldn't mess about with traps. Use poison to kill the little blighter.
You know when it (or more likely they) are dead when the poison stops being eaten.
Also, we've never had any problem with smelly mouse corpses. I don't know where they go, but they don't die in our house.

In my experience they don't like cheese so much as sweet stuff.

was thinking the same ratter, hook far to far up the bar, needs to be right on the tip.

Sugar puffs make good bait.

Like others have said, more mouse traps the better, any peanut butter will do the job but you really need to set the trap "fine" or they will pinch the bait.

Not sure what you all mean about setting the trap 'fine'? Any chance od elaborating on thar point.

[RATTER15]

Setting a trap fine means to set the trap on the point of being sprung with the breath of a mouse, depending what type of trap you use but you place the trap in its resting place then you get you eyes very close and slowly tap the bit that holds the bait until it is just about to go off!! that is "set fine" just be careful of your fingers :-)

Thanks Ratter, will tell them to try that.
