well that cat sounded useless-lol. I thought mice can smell when a cat is in someone's place

This time of year they also prepare for winter by coming in from the cold so they seek out a dwelling, so yes get those traps in place.

Yes. They love to nest in the insulation in my attic. I find traces nowhere else in the house, but somehow in the fall they scale a wall up into the attic.

I usually set a few of those "walk-the-plank" traps up there and it does a pretty good job of eliminating my problem for that season. Living in an area dense with trees and underbrush...they will be back.
