Default Only good mouse is a dead mouse, yes, but how to get there?

clipped

peanut butter, old moldy stuff works just as good. Once a week or so
or maybe longer you might have to change water in the bucket. If you
aren't going to be checking the bucket each day, no problem. Just
change the water more often. Good luck!

Mouse traps are cheap and disposable for very good reasons - so folks
don't contact the
disease-carrying rodents. Good grief!

Clean up the place, put all cereal, grain, pet food in hard containers.
Put a dab of peanut
butter on a mouse trap, put trap in path of meese, check often. I used
plastic bag to pick
up the mouse and trap so's I would not touch it; dispose of the whole
thing. Only mice I
have had indoors were seasonal, late fall, and the always showed first
signs by droppings
and chewing into food packages, esp. flour sack in lower cupboard. I
tried Decon once,
but the mouse died beneath kitchen sink - retrieveable, fortunately, as
the smell was
pretty bad.
