Re: Safe and Humane Mouse Eradication

I tried poison once. I put a couple squares out to see if they would eat
it. Next day I checked on it they not only ate all the squares but they
also ripped open the box that contained the rest of the poison and ate that
too. The basterds didn't show up again after that.

Hi,

We have a serious mouse and ant infestations this year. We
usually get a few mice as winter approaches but this summer
has been terrible. So far we've trapped 10 of the little pests
with more still running around the kitchen. Our cat can't be
bothered - and its his food that they are mostly after!

Before my wife calls any exterminator is there a safe and
humane way of ridding ourselves of these pests? (Safe to
us, our cat, and the chipmunks and squirrels that share our
land.)

Thanks,
Gary

If your cat does'nt catch and eat mice then I would recommend poison.
I have all of the above creatures in our crawl space and barn and I
hide
a dozen of the poison cubes and no more mice for 6 months. The
chipmunks and squirrels appear to not eat it as they are all over the
barn now. Our dogs eat only fresh mice from the field and don't touch
dead ones so it has worked well in our environment.
