easiest way. Catch em, make it lie down on the bed, tummy facing up. tickle it lightly in the axilla and when it opens its tiny mouth to laugh, drop in a drop of rat poison or two... khallas!!! rid of the rat... gratsi gratsi

get a mouse trap and put cheese or peanut butter on it. Just enough so that the mouse has to work to get it. Get one of those that spring. It'll work better than a cat. I like cats but some times they like to play with the mice.

I can't use poisons in my house-kids & pets, and I don't want to use the "kill" traps because my dogs will eat it & I just don't like killing animals :). Tried the live catch traps, didn't work. Been using the glue traps, and they've worked really well. And what I do so I don't leave them to die on the glue, I pour some vegetable oil on the trap, and the mouse is able to eventually work itself free from it. Put it in a bucket and relocate them. I know they're pests, but that little squeak squeak really gets to me lol.

Get a cat that is a mouser.. Let it inside at night to hunt:).. or learn to catch them yourselfs and feed them to the cat:D . ------- First make sure that everything is well insulated and that all the places under your porches and by your windows there is no holes for them to get into... Plant Catnip around the side of the house it helps keep mice and rats out... they do not like a chemical in it..... When you are not eating put things in plastic containers instead of carboard, Clean up all crumbs keep the house clean. No left over food no easy access food sitting around after the scout and find nothing day after day they will go scouting elsewhere... Set traps sticky traps, and snap traps... when the mousing cat is not around check them daily.... put traps into empty pringles cans small ones.. that is the only way I could catch the smart mice in my bedroom. They were so smart they would pick up the stick traps and lick the bait off them, and bump the other traps to set them off then eat the bait...i fed them for a week in the pringles can then one day slipped a trap in them. Bye bye smart mouse... So gotta be smarter then the mouse, and they are getting pretty smart... Take care - DNatureofDTrain -------- - DNatureofDTrain

I could teach you how to make your one mousetrap. All you need is a thick-edged bowl, a nut, a toothpick and a piece of ham. You stick the toothpick inside the nut (there are 2 tiny holes in the nut, stick the toothpick in one of those) firmly enough for the mouse not to pull it. In the other end of the toothpick you stick the little piece of ham (also stucked firmly). Now, you put the nut-toothpick-ham system on the floor in the room with the mouse, over a piece of carton or plywood and you place the bowl upside-down with an edge placed on the nut. The toothpick wold obviously face the inside of the bowl. When the mouse will try to take the piece of ham, he will move the nut and the bowl will fal over the mouse, trapping it. It's a certified method, my mother used it a lot. Good luck!
