Snap traps are the only way to go..unless you've got really good mouser kitties.


Stripe USED to be, then she'd just play w/'em *sigh*

Now w/THREE cats (all former barn cats) in the garage, and 4 cats in the house (yeah, yeah...we're a cathouse hee hee ) I don't expect to have any mice this winter.

When I lived surrounded by fields and grass seed, the mice came in and what the cats couldn't? wouldn't? catch, the snap trap did...Oh,...that and a newly emptied kitchen garbage can w/just a few scraps in the bottom. Two got in, but couldn't get back out (for some oddball reason) and I had to smoosh 'em

And growing up in a single wide, my mom loooooooved the Decon, but boy!! did they always stink for a week or so in the summer when they died in the walls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But YEAH, you DON'T want to feed wild mice. Too much of a chance they've eaten poisoned seed corn or grain or Decon from somewhere (even if you didn't care about the parasites and fleas.)

Good luck in your irradication!
