When the movers came something got disrputed becasue we had mice every day downstairs in the kitchen. We used traps and eventually killed them all. It was a PITA to toss one in the garbage, reset the trap and before I got halfway up the stairs, I'd hear the trap go off with success.

We got a kitten when we were in Queens and they vanished. If they're persistent, you might need an older cat that already knows how to kill. It's a little frustrating to find the cat has caught a mouse but is now just letting it go and catching it again, like a fabulous new toy.<BR/><BR/>We used one of those ultrasonic electric doo-dads at my office in midtown and that seemed to work, too. Not as much fun, though.bullethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12649812197402491992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35315805.post-37975180036533975742008-03-13T11:56:00.000-04:002008-03-13T11:56:00.000-04:00Corey, funny thing is, my wife wants to get a cat....Corey, funny thing is, my wife wants to get a cat.

If you seal these up with mortar, you'll find that you solve much of the problem....once you get rid of the current residents, that is.<BR/><BR/>And go ahead and kill 'em.
