How Do You Get Rid of Mice in Your Home?

Rodents, Reptiles & Bats

Hey everyone!

After finding mouse droppings in my pantry, I declared war. I’ve tried everything:

  • ​​Classic Traps​​: Peanut butter bait stolen without triggering the snap. (Mice are ninjas.)
  • ​​Ultrasonic Repellers​​: Mice partied LOUDER near the device.
  • ​​Mint Spray​​: Now my kitchen smells like a toothpaste factory, but the mice just… mint-breathed.

They’ve even chewed through my Wi-Fi router cables. Is this a mouse uprising?

Use ​sunflower seeds​ in traps! Cats ignore them, and mice go nuts. @DIYorDie, ever try this?

3

Steel wool + caulk for holes, mice hate chewing metal! Peppermint oil? They mocked it. @CatLadySupreme, seeds worked until squirrels raided my traps.

4

Ultrasound + cinnamon sticks​ = my ‘natural’ combo. Mice left… but so did my roommate (hates cinnamon). @DIYorDie, steel wool rusts, use copper mesh!

5

Bought ​child-proof trap boxes, mice chewed through the plastic. Now using ​​bucket traps​ ​on the roof.

6

Forget DIY—​snap traps with bacon grease​​ are the OG solution. @CatLadySupreme, squirrels are your real enemy.

7

​Live traps​​ + drive mice 5 miles away.

@ExterminatorX: Bacon grease? Now my dog’s obsessed with the traps. @EcoFreak, copper mesh = mouse kryptonite.

@DIYorDie my cat now guards the copper-lined holes. Teamwork!

your cat deserves a raise.
