Okay, so my friend lives in a trailer and he have been have a bad mouse problem. He said the traps aren't working and I'd close to the most humane ways to get rid of and prevent the problems. Any thinking on mouse removal?
THANKS to all who respond!
what do you mean Humane, , they will not comform to some ones bidding , or loveing aid, there hungry, receive a cat or set out more traps, put out posion, or better yet why dont you run them home with you ? ever see a mouse over population? resembling thousands eating every piece in verbs,
Ugh, mice...I used to live surrounded by a house that would be invaded by the little critters each winter. I touch for your friend.
Mouse traps worked for me (baited with coarse bacon) but I understand that sometimes the problem is beyond trapping. Has your friend considered getting a cat? Also, your friend could try mouse poison but I wouldn't recommend it. An exterminator threw a handful of poison discs below my house and I was blessed beside having to smell their rotting little corpses...not pleasant. He said that the ones he used cause the bodies to decay in a flash...it wasn't quick adequate.
Good luck to your friend!
Answers: Your friend might not consider this humane- but the best entry I can think of is to win a cat.
I seem to remember audible range that mice don't like abiding herbs- including bay leaves. You might try those.
Check the trailer for gap. When you find one, stuff it with steel wool later seal it next to caulk. Mice won't try to get within through that! The most likely place for such gap would be around the pipes and power lines- especially behind the stove.
Good luck!
