iv been noticing mice droppings in my kitchen the last few weeks, under cooker/sink, behind fridge… so iv put out baits and poison…but its not working. i can see poison has been eaten everytime iv put it there but its not killing them…the baits are not good at catching either, iv tried allsorts, iv searched google for all the tips n tricks, have tried it all but not working… one tip i still need to check is placing peppermint on cotton wool which should deter them away, not sure though if it’ll work, as the mice seem to be very clever in avoiding all the traps iv set. plz help… im having sleepless nights becoz of this problem, as im a clean freak n perfectionist i cant believe its happening in my nice clean home.. the mice appear to be coming from next door from under the floorboards, i have blocked every possible entry from outside and blocked holes with steel wool pads etc… plz help if you have been successful in getting rid of them. it will be very much appreciated!!
Yes im in UK. iv contacted council , they just offer free poison for mice. they will only come and help if we have infestation of big Rats!! :-( ... i dont know what to do. calling for someone privatly costs a big call out charge.
the best traps are the glue ones.....they are not necessarily humane but they work.
place them where you have seen the droppings and in all the places where you think they might be travelling.
this was the best way that I found to get rid of them......
consider prevention as well......look for any holes in your walls near plumbing etc that they might be coming through and block them with foaming insulation that hardens when you spray it.
a pest control guy once told me that they can find their way through a hole the thickness of a ball-point pen!

hink they might be travelling.
The only solution! It may take time but only this is going to work. Trap them to run on these sticky glue pads by luring them by food placed across the pad. Make their path narrow.
you need a flute...play a looney tune on the flute and lure them out of their hidings and lead them away from your house, your neighbourhood and your city...to a far away land! :D
Just about two weeks ago when we were going through a power outage, I discovered there was a mouse in the house, found a half eaten candy bar. I had a mini heart attack right there and then. As naive as I am, I was hoping candy might have killed the mouse. My husband told me otherwise … he said and I quote, "wo tou khush ho raha ho ga ussay candy khanay ko mili hai. I found that disgusting and hilarious at the same time. Let me tell you I don’t think I can ever eat thar particular candy ever again in my life. Immediately got glue traps and kept hoping I wouldn’t have an encounter with the mouse and thank god I didn’t. It was caught the very next morning.
This is my success story of how we got rid of the mouse, hope to read your’s soon.
I would move. I would actually die if I saw a mouse. :(
You'd be surprised how strong you actually are.
My 6'4" BIL jumped straight onto a dining chair when I yelled "Mouse!" as one scurried past some years past.
I will never forget that sight!!
Instead of chasing the mouse with a broom, as I used to do if I ever happened to see one, I was rolling around on the floor laughing at him. Looking like an elephant balancing on a footstool.
using the glue traps is errgh... how do i get rid of it when its stuck on and still alive!! omg omg omg horrible. ..
You find a man to pick up the glue board that has the live mouse stuck on it, put it in a plastic/trash bag and take it as far away from you as possible. :D

Muzna is absolutely right, last december we had an entire 'khandaan' living in our garage, (live in Canada) and a little baby one made it's way inside our house by eating thru the insulation, luckily we caught it before they were all inside the house, so yah check everywhere for holes/cracks outside especially
