I used to get them in my last house, the little buggers love peanut butter but I was a softy a bought humane traps then set them free. I think the same ones came back over and over for their treat.  |

"Find out where they are getting in and block it.
Purchase humane traps and release.
Easy."
I live in a very old terraced street, so difficult to know entrance point, plus at edge of city and near wild countryside

It's pointless because they can squeeze through the teeniest of holes.
We had mice in the garage and in the cupboard under the stairs not so long ago. A couple of times they managed to eat the chocolate spread off the springy traps. But we did get them in the end.
If you use the humane traps you have to take them a km (I think) otherwise they just come back. |

"Our cats are ruthless, efficient,  rodent assassins
The stuffed owl has failed, can I hire your cats!  "
Contracts for mouse 'hits' come at a steep price. Usually bag is Dreamies to share. This being a special seek and destroy mission though. The price goes up to a bag each.  |

My dogs keep all other animals from nearing the property, never mind entering the house. I highly recommend rescuing a dog. Would solve this problem pretty quickly.  |

A bit more clarity please!!! Are you suggesting take my chances at local cat and dog shelter or re: 'rescue a dog' wander down the North East coast looking for a dog struggling in the North Sea! That could take weeks |

Well, the latter would be impressive, but I was thinking more about the former... |

The traps fine work just gotta set them so they are really on the edge of going off, the wire only just touching the eye hole catch, can take a few careful attempts...

Confused now...
After pestering (excuse the pun) me for 3 days, in kitchen whenever I entered, mouse seems to have vanished, various traps in kitchen with choc and peanut butter, but no trap has been set off...
Do mice just vanish or look for pastures new? |

He's waiting till you're asleep. Mice don't like a fuss. Either that or he's under your bed waiting for the right moment to jump out and bum ya. |

Ultrasonics works best. Get couple of emitters. Few quid each. You can't hear it and nor cats, dogs all good. Will keep them out large area. Move emitters about will drive them away from area
It does work this.
The kill traps are cruel and not nice, the catch and release ok but still very stressful for the thing plus you need to take quite a distance from home and or family or will come back.
Try ultrasonics it works  |

"Have you caught said mouse....sorry not read through thread to check "
No Jo! Have not caught the mouse, it was in kitchen whenever I went in for about two days, set numerous traps, none of them triggered and have only seen mouse once in last 30 or so hours, no food has been touched, chocolate and peanut butter! |

they can get in through the tiniest little hole - we had one in between the inner and outer wall - could hear it running from one end to the other - was in the winter and it buggered of in the daytime - so we found a very small hole in the brickwork where some of the mortar was missing and we bunged it up with a couple of pebbles - never got back in |

Yes! I think I have heard it scurrying around cavity wall, last time I heard it was in bathroom cavity wall, so may have emigrated to neighbours....(damn! Just saw the little critter!) On plus side, mouse poison has been interfered with....the amount of chocolate and peanut butter on offer, more chance of getting a meet on site than catching damned mouse |

Ones not sure where you located, but if its a country setting then it will maybe be a non house mouse like you find in cities. They don't as I've experienced... eat things like chocolate or peanut butter. Try a carrot or better still a potato.
Leave a potato out on floor and if gets nibbed u got mice.
If you concerned they on work surfaces or where they come from. Dust all surfaces with flour and floors edges when you go to bed..in the morning can man hunt them down. It might seem funny but it does work. They leave tracks...follow tracks |

I am right on the edge of the city, so very old housing, then countryside, it seems to have gone for the 'shop sold' mouse bait tonight, but I disturbed it! Will see how it goes overnight, it heads behind the kitchen units which I am not, obviously prepared to remove |

When you say 'shop sold' so poison from a shop? I don't honestly approve.they don't have a good ending. Very painful to them. It isn't a nice way for an amimal to be put down, as much as you see it as an inconvenience or whatever to you. I don't like having mice either but I would only ever use ultrasonics to drive them away or safe catch and release traps. At the end of the day man has fucked the environment, mice etc are so high because is no predators is same with lot of nature. They just trying to survive is all.
I take it you do know that it will pass away obviously inside a wall and decay and perhaps smell.
I honestly don't get why you would be killing them over humane treatments. They have as much right to be here as you. Why man has to kill everything I don't know. Its like all these spider killers. Why anyone would need to kill a harmless spider.
