Not sure where to ask this question!

Mouse traps....

What are the best kind to get.  Please keep in mind I have a dog and two cats so I can't have any kind of poison that they could get into.

Also, I don't like the old time traps.  I don't want to get close to any mice.

We have seen a couple mice in the house last year, and well, only one caught by one of the cats.  But, I can hear one in the wall.  Don't have any idea how they got in there, can't find any holes. 

Thank you for your help.

  • We had mice when we moved into our current apartment, but the landlord refuses to acknowledge it.

    We used the child safe ones. They also make a kind that conceals the mouse. It's advertised on TV.

    If you go to your local store or hardware store, i'm sure there are a lot of options.

    HTH

  • I am a total softie about killing anything, so I use the humane ones.  However, my family lived near woods so they were easy to let go.  It still creeped me out a little. 
  • I've used the Ortho Max Home Defense ones.  Walmart sells them in packs of 2 for $7, I think. The cost could be more or less depending on your region.  They contain the mouse. You put cheese or peanut butter in there and when the mouse goes in it traps them. (I use peanut butter) You don't have to touch anything.

  • I was so freaked out when we moved out to the sticks and I found that we had a couple of mice in the house.  I didn't want to kill them, and didn't want to be setting them free every couple of days either.  So I picked up these little things that you plug into your outlets that emit a sound that the mice don't like, so they leave and don't come back. I was skeptical but it works like a charm!!! All you can hear is a faint buzzing that you get used to and tune out within a day or two. BTW, I have 2 puppies and the sound doesn't bother them, just the critters.    Good luck!
