Needless to say, a combination of the glue traps and Tomcat mouse killer with the block of poison in it worked very well. Killed all of them in 3 days.

Just know that if you see one, there is usually more running around.
They can fit thru a crack lol.

OP get a cat or call an exterminator

Outside.......leave them

If they get in my basement (100 old farmhouse), they get trapped in a snap trap and released into a garbage bag.

Well, today is Global-Kitteh-Day, so I vote for getting one.............soft, furry, emitting
a pleasantly-musty odor, insanely addicted to capturing and neutralizing small rodents!

I would recommend that this bait is put in bait boxes, and not just left out by themselves. That way no other wildlife will be harmed by eating them. But it is a great bait to use.

Rarely had mouse problems in that house but the few times I did I caught them with live traps and released them.

If you are going to live trap they need to be released at least 1-2 miles away or they will come right back.

When I was a kid, we had a few cats(and dogs).
I remember sitting at the kitchen table and a mouse ran from behind the fridge to this small space between the wall and the cabinet filler panel on the other side. This mouse did this like 2 or 3 times back and forth, it was probably a four foot span.
Anyway, cat was laying on the kitchen floor and just sat there and watched the mouse run back and forth. Did nothing. Just watched.

True I sound have mentioned this. What makes it so effective is it’s a neurotoxin so it’s NOT safe for pets. Most (pretty ineffective) mouse poison at stores is just vitamin k blockers which is much safer for pets

There was a cricket in my living room the other day and the cat just watched it hop around. She wasn't even interested enough to screw with it for a while.
