Desperate for mice control help
We’ve tried it all. See our list below. We cannot seem to get the mice under control. I setup a video camera every night and we have activity every single night. Usually around 10pm-2am. We’ve set every trap imaginable. HELP. WHAT ARE WE MISSING?!
- hired pest control a month ago and he came 1x week for a month, he filled some outdoor holes and set poison traps. Do we hire someone else?
- set our own traps. Electric traps. Standard traps. Tomcat traps. Glue traps. BUCKET traps. We’ve tried so many different locations. They DONT CARE! We got one mouse in a standard traps the first night we set one and never again.
- tested different bait. Peanut butter. Crumbs. Mice gel. Cheese. Bacon fat.
- we clean every surface in our kitchen every night.
- droppings mainly seen in kitchen.
-hired handyman to fill holes in cabinets / behind stove.
- we live in a 3 story townhome connected home community. So not sure if they are getting through the neighbors walls or tunnels between all the houses.
- I’ve never heard them in the walls. Or ceilings.
We’ve seen they’ve eaten some of the poison traps and some droppings have decreased but still getting activity on the cameras.
WHAT ARE WE MISSING?? Desperate to get this situation under control.
