Getting Rid of Mice. Do you think you’re seeing things? You know, late in the evening – that little flicker of something around the baseboards or in dark corners that you keep catching out of the corner of your eye? Yeah, that thing.
I have good news and bad news for you.
The good news is that you’re really not hallucinating.
The bad news is that you’ve got a mouse, and probably more than one…
Have you wondered how that bag of rice or oats in the pantry got a small tear in the packaging?
Have you found tiny black specks on the floor when you cleaned out a closet, or in the back of of a cabinet?
If you had any doubts about mice in your home, now you’ve got proof.
These little pests will also do damage to your clothing and electrical wiring, so the sooner you’re rid of them, the better.

More good news ! Better mouse traps have come on the market. Much better. You now have a lot more choices than that old kind, where you sometimes found a mouse trapped, but not quite dead. I think anybody would admit that this was a very unpleasant situation.
Modern Mouse Traps
The portable electronic mouse trap is is safe to use around pets and children and is a humane way to end your mouse problem. Simply bait the trap with peanut butter, and when you’ve trapped a mouse a light will blink. Disposal is easy – just open the top and dump – no need to handle the mouse.
Ultrasonic pest repellers are another solution, but you need to get one of the better ones. Here’s why: Rodents will eventually adapt to a continuous sound wave or tone – the better models will vary the tones so that they don’t have a chance to get use to them.
Another very humane answer to your mouse problem is simply trapping and releasing them. An unpopulated wooded area far from home is an ideal spot.
And finally, there are granular products that work by using scents of predators or plants that mice will to avoid. These products work, but you do have to replace them every so often and they’re not a permanent solution.
As you can see, there’s a lot of new alternatives to that old snapper trap that was around when you were a kid.
