Mice

[Farmercharliesblog]

You can buy nail strips in carpet department at big box stores. The help with snakes, too...don't like to slither over sharps.

I don’t want to spend money on this.

I know you mentioned traps didn't work, but one year-we had a mouse infestation that our Cats couldn't control, there was too many of them. I put walnuts in the traps, that alone was irresistible enough that we caught almost 25 in traps. May be worth a try?

One of our cats had to be put down and our other cat is still out of it. We tried walnuts but that attracted squirrels. We got those out fast.

It seems like the nail strips might change their trails but I wouldn't think it actually eliminates. I'd keep trying the traps. The sticky traps work well here.

The mouses origin is my closet and everywhere I have outlets. They chose to eat my wires so everything is iffy so I put nail strips everywhere in my closet, around every outlet, and under my bed. I have moved my clothes and I never put anything under my bed. So far I have caught about 15-30 stabbed mice. I now have to bleach my floors every so often. But that is fine as long as I can sleep now. The sticky traps got my cats stuck in them. Out small long haired cat is not eaven 5ibs but is about 6 years old. These mice are her size, gets her fur stuck in the sticky strips and we have to cut it.

That's fantastic - glad it's working for you! You'd think a mouse that is smart enough to avoid a trap wouldn't be dumb enough to impale itself on a nail, lol. Stoopid mice!
