Now up to 18, hard to believe we had that many mice running around the house. Need to get more sticky traps.

I like the coke can in the bucket idea, will use that in my shop instead of poison. Went the cat route but between vet bills, cat hair and dealing with a litter box our cat days went away when we had to put it to sleep.

I tried cats too, outdoor cats only but the coyotes got fat on my cats. I think I went through 25 cats over the years. I had 3 young kittens once that were too small to wonder off to yote land and they all disappeared in one day...hawks I suspect.

I'm down to two outdoor cats. At least one of them is worth a flip; I've actually seen him with a caught mouse. (He got mad at me when I broke his toy, though.)

Normally, I advocate for clean kills, but when it comes to mice and rats, I don't give a crap, I just want those little bastards dead. I've poisoned, trapped, shot, and stomped on more of those destructive, worthless little disease carriers than I can count.

I'm dropping the sticky traps upside down in a coffee can half full of water. Only takes a few seconds before they quit wiggling.

I spent hours baiting them to come under the fence and shooting them over the summer. Not sure how many there are but they're living under a brush pile in my neighbor's back yard. So far I've got nine confirmed kills. Haven't tried in a while but I'm sure they've made up for my kills and some by now. Nothing has made it in the house yet though.
