Ok we all know that I am a big old softie when it comes to critters. BUT I also like my garage the way it is thank you very much! :) and I would prefer not to share it with little mouselings any longer.


So, today I went and bought THIS well it was like that one.

I dont want to harm the critters ( and I REALLY dont want to find critter bodies in my garage! :eek: ) so I bought these to try.

Do you think it will work? Have you tried them?
 
I haven't heard anything about the effectiveness of these products, but I think Universal Studios is putting a really big one in Orlando. :teeth:

(Good luck though)
 
We just bought a humane trap. I wasn't going to use poison or the sticky tapes so we bought the trap. They had some at Home Depot, but we got ours from Ebay.

I hate those glue board/sticky tape things. That is so horrible. Whenever the exterminator would put them out at work I would wait until he was gone and pick them all up and throw them away. He never could figure out what happened to them every month..lol That's okay, we paid to have the back structure redone so the critters couldn't find their way in. :)
 
I had something similar in my kitchen for awhile last winter. We also had humane traps (which never managed to stay set long enough to trap the little guys) and snapper traps...which worked.

Not sure if the electronic thingie worked, or if we just caught all the mice.
 
I have them in my basement and garage. I guess after the other night, I'll have to say that they don't work. There was something chewing on the inside of my walls! :earseek: Woke me up at 4 am and scared the crap out of me!

My DH went out to buy humane traps at the store and came back with the sticky tape. I told him how terrible they were and he told me it said on the package that they are humane. Yeah, right! :rotfl: Turns out after a mouse is caught the directions said that a person can take the trap with the still live mouse, a garbage can and a bottle of vegetable oil somewhere far away from the house. Then you hold the trap over the garbage can and pour the oil over the house until the mouse is able to get free and then falls into the garbage can, which can be tipped over and the mouse set free. :rotfl2: Was my husband serious??? I was laughing and shaking my head in disbelief.
 
DH and I had a huge mouse problem after the broken ground on a house in a field near ours, we tried EVERYTHING to get rid of them and nothing worked, then a coworker told me that mothballs laid out along the area where they are would get rid of them within a few days. We figured why not, nothing else worked so we dealt with the smell of moth balls for a few days and then after 6 months of little critters we didn't and haven't seen one in about 9 months.
 
binny,
My Mom bought one of these for my DD for her college apartment. My DD said that she hasn't seen any mice or rats - but it wasn't working on ants! :rotfl2:
 
We use the humane traps baited with peanuts or peanut butter. My husband carries the trapped mice a mile or so away and releases them.
