AHHHH! i have mice in the walls! i can hear one scurying around once a day. what do i do??

>>2948955 (OP)
Find out what they are eating and remove it. If they don't have food they will leave.

>>2948955 (OP)
Obtain cat

>>2948963
i dont think they are eating anything, there is absolutely nothing inside my walls, they are not getting inside the house also.
i dont think they are living inside the walls, i think they jump in, then i bang on the wall and the run out again
>>2948965
my neighbours just moved and took their cat with them, i think that's the problem

>>2948965
cats stink worse than mice

>>2948955 (OP)
called an exterminator for this but to replicate what they did, they sealed off all entrances/exits with a wire mesh, put out poison traps, then came by and collected the bodies. keep in mind they can get in through surprisingly small spaces.

or just get a cat. either way, gl op

my cat smells like the flowers in the garden

>>2949070
you have toxoplasmosis

>>2948955 (OP)
same, but I live in a brick house, which makes it a billion times weirder.
mine's eating thru the packed dirt under the bathroom, last time we made it dissappear (temporarily) I had poured bleach and vinegar down the shower drain.
wage chemical warfare against the rats

>>2949070
mine smell like a fine fur coat, though the male cat smells like perfume on occasion, it's weird and no he's not been anywhere near perfume.

>>2949074
no

>>2949155
cats smell like stale hpiss to normal people
you are toxopozzed

>>2948955 (OP)
snap traps. use a fruit chew and mash it into the little loop as bait. you can do 3 traps with one gummy.

I've tried everything from sonic plug ins to poison to walking around the outside with a blacklight looking for trails, the only thing that works is snap traps. just keep putting them back until it stops.

>>2949032
>poison traps, then came by and collected the bodies
that's fine until one dies in your ceiling.

>>2949155
Perfume has piss and shit content to make people fixate on smell.

>>2949074
no i have a cat that cleans itself and sits in the garden rubbing against flowers

>>2949376
cleans itself? like with soap and water? or with catfood and vermin eating butthole mouth?

>>2949438
works on my animal

>>2948963
>If they don't have food they will leave.
That's not true.

*terrier

mice will make homes anywhere they can access thru a small hole, food or not. 'The if there's no food' line of reasoning is dumb because lawn tractor's, outboards, cars and motorcycles and everything else that doesnt move enough sprout them all the time

if a mouse dies behind your sheetrock, you do not smell it. The awful Piss smell of a nest is far worse than a single dead body that turns to a crisp

poison block, seal the outside. plan to wage this battle forever

get some of the plastic reusable traps with the jaws that snap, use silicone or super glue to glue a raisin down in the little circle hole for the bait

The solution is simple. You need bleach and vinegar. Find the access point and the disperse the resultant gas. You may want to wear a respirator but it is not required. I would add the solution to a pump sprayer but be careful not to overfill it. You don’t want the pressure breaking the container and you also don’t want air in the lines.

It's almost winter you retards. They won't leave on their own accord until spring.

>>2948955 (OP)
Traps in the crawlspace or anywhere you find droppings. No poison unless you want your house to smell like festering mouse.

>>2949291
>sonic plug ins
I swear they don't work, put 4 on a power strip and watched a chipmunk scurry right over it.

>>2949830
you're gonna darwin award somebody with shit advice like that

Get traps, especially the one that can be used multiple times without rearming, like the bucket fall trap. If you want to go evil route get glue, place some food in place the pass for a week, than place the glue trap with some bait. That will get rid of them, in order to prevent them from getting back seal all tiny holes around your house, you can make some concrete and mix in some broken glass so they hurt them selves when they chew. You can also get a cat, you can keep it outside if it's safe, it will shit and piss outside so no litter box you just need to feed it, pet it, provide shelter and if it gets sick heal it.

>>2949982
i tried a glue trap and all i caught was cute little geckos

dont recommend

>>2948955 (OP)
Mice? I hate mice, they made me crazy

>>2949899

>>2949284
Nigga what kind of stankitties you got where you live? All cats I ever had were all deparasitized and vaxxed to hell and back and they never showed any kind of stink

>>2950459
there's a schizo psycopath that goes around crying about toxoplasmosis and how he would abuse cats as a kid

>>2950067
ant their putted me in padded room with mice LOL i loves that meme sir!

>>2948955 (OP)
feed them

>>2950473
You have literal brain parasites from your cat fool

>>2949011
Canine hands typed this post.

Saw one chipmunk outside near my house so I went and got two brother male kitten. They already killed at least three mice and one bee that I can confirm.

>>2949291
This is the way if you don't want dead mice stinking the place up when they die in a place you can't get to. I use these plastic traps, they're really easy to set and really sensitive, I've never had the bait disappear without getting a mouse unless one eats it while one's already caught in the trap (rude). I've had mouse problems twice in my house, each time I caught 5-10 in the traps and then they left.
I also recommend making sure the perimeter of the house is clear of debris/vegetation that they can hide in.

>>2948965
>Facts.

I have feral cats around my neighborhood. People feed them at a certain location. I had a mouse. Then I could see its shit trail eventually all together stopped. Then I remembered this one feral cat that always tried to get into my house. It would even let me pet it. Sometimes I'd see it at the door through the glass. Then I realized that the fucking kitty killed that fucking mouse. Better to have a cat than a mouse problem. They love mice its their favorite toy. They will sit around all day until they get it staring away like charles manson.

>>2948955 (OP)
Dont plug any mous holes you find yet. (They'll chew through a new area.)
Just get glue traps, place them aroynd high traffic areas. Those are most effective, if a little inhumane.

>>2948955 (OP)
Don't sweat it op, its probably just rats
on the plus side, rats tend to keep the mice away.

>>2948963
This is somewhat true, removing easy food sources will make it so that less are attracted to you, but it won't eliminate the problem nor drive away any mice already present.
>>2948955 (OP)
As someone who's lived in houses with rampant mouse presence, the best approach is multi-pronged. The one consistent thing, except for the poison and glue traps, is to use peanut butter as bait.
>standard snap traps
Place these anywhere you can't put the other traps I'm listing.
>Tunnel traps
Place these in/along crevices and walls, also stick ends of them through mouse holes.
>glue traps
These are primarily good for determining whether or not a given spot/area has mouse traffic. Put a few down in a spot where you're not sure whether there's mouse traffic. They tend to be unsuspecting of glue traps, and will attempt to walk on them. The bad news is that glue traps are one time use.
>rodenticides
I've had good luck with Mouse-X; it's not a conventional poison, but it won't contaminate the corpse, is a fairly selective agent, and is resistant to adaptation. It's a good way to get mice and other vermin that are wary of traps, but you'll need to be careful about exposure to pets. I know that it won't contaminate animals that eat it, but I'm not sure how harmful it is for pets to consume it first hand.
>electrocution traps
Get one that has an auto-closing door. I've found these to be effective in getting the little shits that seem to dodge other traps.

GOOD NEWS!
another cat has started prowling around my house, i saw it holding a mouse in it's mouth while crossing the street. i no longer have mice in my walls

>>2953616
based cat

the dogmummies in my city want an outdoor cat ban because they claim they keep killing native birds, i really think its because it makes their rabid shitbulls bark nonstop

i hope they actually do ban cats outside and we get the inevitable rodent plague

>>2948955 (OP)
glue traps are great and funny.
Once had mom, dad and a family of fuzzy fuckers all stuck on one.
>>2949982
Bucket drowning traps are funny and you can find their lil skeletons at the bottom after a few months.

I know how to fix this problem virtually instantly.
It's actually so easy I'm thinking of starting my own business.

>>2949011
obtain snake

I tried losing my mind figuring out some crazy Wile E coyote tier schemes but just trapping the hell out of my house seems to do the trick every fall when the rodents start to look for warmth. Like three times the traps you would think is enough. Brute force wins again.

>>2953616
You know, luring cats to hang around near your home with catnip and treats or whatever the furry niggers love sounds like a neat idea.

>>2952588
You can make them a bit more humane if you check them frequently enough to notice fresh catches. Put the successful trap in a waterproof container, pour a little cooking oil over the trap to dissolve the glue, take a nice mile-long walk (both to give the oil time to work and to make sure the mouse can't find his way back), and dump the mouse.

>>2952588
Just drown em in a bucket of water when you find them, little more humane than just leaving them and less retarded than spending time releasing them after a spa treatment.
I use electrified traps and they work well, quick and more humane since it guarantees the kill, though I did have a Chad mouse that escaped one time after jumping around in it like a quantum particle.
They also make ones that are CO2 operated with little pressure cartridges, they stick their head in a hole and it bolt guns em, made for outside, predators snatch the carcass, and it connects to an app on your phone for a kill counter.
Have done the bucket trap with a little oil in it so they can't climb out but then you got a bucket of slippery rodents banging around to deal with. There's also a vacuum trap that senses and sucks em into a shop vac, but same issue as bucket trap. I'd prefer to kill instantly instead of torturing them.
I have a toddler so little bits of food are inevitably dropped everywhere in my house. I had an infestation so bad once that no traps were working so every night I would line each doorway and corridor with dozens of glue traps in a line so there was no avoiding them going from room to room but then had to take them all out before the kid woke up and stepped on one. Lot of work and I considered burning my house down for insurance payout.
