The mice come and go in my kitchen, but if I keep at it, they usually disappear for quite awhile after I've caught a few. <div>I've tried the high frequency devices you plug in to keep them away. I've heard some people have good luck with them. They haven't worked well for me. Pretty cheap, worth a try.</div><div>I read recently that feral cats are decimating the bird population, so I wouldn't be in a hurry to put another cat out there.</div><div>One guy said he used a 2 gallon can 1/2 full of gas. He put some sort of slippery rod across the top, greased I think, with cheese or something in the middle. The mice would fall in the gas trying to get the bait. He said he caught 25 mice or so in his garage that way.</div><div>Brian C</div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">

empty the traps, there are live traps that are called "Mice Cubes."
They are as simple as they get and can work great. But they
need to be emptied as they only hold one at a time.</font>
