Ok guys enlighten me. I think I have "a" mouse. I found the droppings in an obvious place last night and saw that damn thing this-morning, ( yes, I screamed).
It doesn't seem to be eating the poison pellets because it's alive and kicking. I put out a snap trap and so far it has not gone for it. I used peanut butter as bait. Only had the trap out since this after-noon. Is it just a waiting game? How ill I know I only had one? Set another trap out after, if, it gets killed?

The problem with those poison pellets is they don't work until the mouse drinks some water. At least that's what it says on the one I've got.
Forget about the sticky traps. Been there and done that. Had a mouse in my downstairs this past summer. The poison pellets worked good for me but then again after the little critter dies you have to find it.

Well the bad news is if you've seen one...you've probably got many. I live in an old farm house and mice are always a recurring problem. I use those little box traps, put some wheat bread in them, they go in but can't get out. Once I've caught one I just dump the little guy into the outside trash container. He goes to the dump and lives his peaceful existence there.
The problem with poisons is they die and then you get that rotting smell of mice corpse in your house. You then have to figure out where the corpse is and it could be anywhere.
Mice HATE the smell of Peppermint. Get some cotton balls and soak them in Peppermint Oil. Then you can put the cotton balls in drawers or places where you believe the mice to be.
If all else fails, get several cats!
man if there's one thing I hate or that i'm terrified of,is Mice and ratsI agree with Hank if you saw 1 there's probably a lot more

Pour some coke in a container and leave it on the floor.
Mouse drinks it and then they die.
Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?
