Best way to catch mice?

[CJB1911]

Saw some lil turds under the sink. Are sticky traps the best thing to use to catch mice?

 

[Golden-Eagle]

Yes, if you do not want to hear the snap of peanut butter on a spring trap.

sticky traps are cleanest but I still like to hear the snap noise of the mech ones. But since moved to new house 4 years ago has been silent ...

Yes


Course, there's always this:

 

[sparky_benton]

there is a plastic trap that is easy to set that works good. has plastic jaws like a shark.

peanut butter along the cabinets and a pellet rifle. but if you want a almost guaranteed humane kill find a trap similar to these. regardless of the trap, peanut butter is the best bait IMHO

if its too quiet, im sure we could organize a group buy to donate some rats or mice to your property.

glue traps along the base boards where they travel

but, for sheer entertainment,,,,CAT..... for the win

I used DeCon to great effect.

Of course, that's not catching them, but you don't have to dispose of the carcasses.

I've seen it all, now. The Age of The American Wimp is alive and thriving in the pest control business.

Yeah I doubt Grits has a mouse problem at his house

 

[Not4Hire]

Don't put out any of that guv'naunt cheese. You'll get more than just mice......

 

[grits]

Well you are partly right, I dont have a problem but I do have over 70 mice at my place

This +1. Quick and clean and humane. Unlike glue traps.

I still use old school spring and bar traps with a butter crouton.
When I worked at a sugar mill we used the Xtra large,maybe 3"X6" and had them tied down so the rats couldnt run off with the trap. These rats were nearly the size of a small opossum! You have no idea what a real rat is until youve seen a sugar mill rat!
