You've seen the tell tale signs. Chewed open food packages, and those little droppings. You have a mouse in the house. Well I have some tips to get rid of him quick.
1. There are all sorts of mouse removal methods on the market today. Food traps, poison, box traps and the old fashioned snap traps, which I found to be most affective. There are a couple of tricks that will help ensure that we'll catch our little intruders.
2. Wear rubber gloves when handling traps and bait to keep the human smell off of them.
3. Bait the traps with peanut butter. Mice love it and it isn't as easily carried away as cheese.
4. Set the trap up against the wall. Bait side facing in, three in a row. This way even if one trap doesn't go off they'll move onto the next one. And placing them against the wall will ensure the mice go right to the trip lever.
5. If you're worried about peanut butter attracting even more pests. Try using cotton as bait. Mice use it to line their nests.
