How do I get rid of mice that seem to avoid the mouse traps?
I'm using the Victor Mouse Traps. The smart mice I have (in my basement) seem to be able to remove the peanut butter from the yellow plastic flap. This has happened several times. The traps are sensitive enough that they go off if I try to slide them a couple of inches to the wall. What do you suggest?
A
Try using less peanut butter on the Victor Mouse Trap trigger. Barely coat the trigger so they have to really use some pressure to get it off. A very small amount will still attract them by the smell.
How do I know if I have mice?
I have a drop ceiling in my basement and I hear noises possibly mice. there was an infestation once before and it was resolved, I have set glue traps and bait stations. I have not gotten anything. I was just wondering what I should look for, what are the tell tale signs? What do they eat?
A
Mice can eat anything including pet food or any human food that is in the pantry. The real tell tale sign of rodents is droppings. You can get on a ladder and look up in the drop ceiling and see if there are any droppings from mice or other animals that may be in the house. If there are no droppings, then you may not have an issue. You can google "rodent droppings" to see pictures of what they look like.
