Forgot…what I think made the difference in the glue strips/traps working was putting one piece of my dog’s dry food right in the middle of the glue trap-that’s when we were able to get them. They had chewed a little hole in her bag of food so I know they liked it and this time it worked to my advantage!! I completely forgot about that! Good Luck to all!!

3 years ago, we moved from an apt. into a house. We thought we had “a mouse” when winter came. Tried EVERYTHING with no luck and when what we thought was “a” mouse changed, I got the glue strips as bad as I hated to…but one can only stand so much poo AND pee (that was something I didn’t know/think of that they also leave behind) and germs etc. …but if you don’t get a good brand, the glue strips won’t work..that’s the trick with those. Within one week we caught 8-10 mice!!! I was sickened!! Then the fun part starts..washing and cleaning everything! Hope this helps someone! Until a week ago, never had seen any signs of anymore…going tomorrow and nipping this in the bud!!

Walmart also carries the peppermint oil. Its next to the vanilla extract down the baking aisle.

I am going to try the peppermint oil. We have a terrible mouse problem. We just moved into our house a little over a month ago. I find mouse poop everywhere, including our bedrooms & on our beds! We do not eat in our rooms at all! I clean it up every day and its a daily task. Its even in our silverware drawers. I thought we plugged all of the mouse holes but they still manage to get in our house. They were housing in our stove for a while. We pulled off the back of it and we found where they made a nest in our insulation. It was so gross, no wonder why everytime we would cooked in our stove it would stink so bad. It must of been mouse urine and mouse poop cooking. My fiance’s mom keeps buying us those electronic mouse repellants but they don’t work! She’s bought three for our kitchen. And we’ve bought those mouse traps that don’t kill the mice, they just lock them in there. We haven’t caught one single mouse! They are either too smart or can escape. Good luck everyone with your mouse problem also! I just called GNC and they carry the peppermint oil. So I will be purchasing it tomorrow.

i have triedthe glue traps and even spent over $80.00 on the Ridex electronic device, what a waste of money. I am going craxy they are all over. eating everything they can get their hands on. i can not have a cat because of allergys. I will try the peppermint oil next but at my wits end for now.

I have tried the one you plug into a wall outlet and the mice were gone. i have not seen any for the last 6 months. It works great.I believe it works on sound waves.

I use the sonic devices already. I have some small plug in ones and some stronger ones. I have 6 in my house and still have a problem. I have glue traps all over as well with peanut butter and there to smart to get on them. I guess i will try the peppermint idea and see if that works because my daughter and I are scared to death of them little things. I think if i had a sonic thing in every plug-in in the house i might not have a problem. Wish me LUCK

If a mouse ran up my daughter’s leg…I think I would be moving!!! I can’t imagine that…I am dealing with one (at least 1) in my home right now…but have about 8 traps set. I will catch him/her. It is on like Donkey Kong!!!!!!

i think it is just one mouse i found where he came in under my patio and cemented it up, i also put one of those sound waves and placed it where he was coming in, now my problem is i cant catch him, i put down glue traps, didnt work, i put down peanut butter with posion, didnt work(ate around the posion, i put down the traps that enclose them , will not go in, i dont hear him as much as i use to, i use to hear him every night scratching in the wall, now i make hear it once a week, i have OCD when it comes to cleanliness so my house is always clean, i hadnt heard him for at least two weeks but my daughter dropped M&M’s and apparently one went under my desk where we couldnt see it, and last night i heard it eating the candy, i’m going to try the snap traps and see if i cant catch him
