We moved into our house with an infestation of mice shortly after we moved in. I always used snap traps in the past, but that wasn't doing much. I put my battery Arlo cameras around and would watch what they would do. One would get snapped and the other one would see it before I could clean it up and apparently radio the whole colony. I would put 6 in a row along a wall and the mice would just jump over them. Had to come up with another solution. I put poison, glue traps, 5 gallon bucket, and snap traps out. The glue traps work the best, but I hate seeing them suffer on the trap until they die. I wouldn't seem them for a week, so they were generally dead, but I could see they were on it a while. I use them around the garage where I know they are coming in though.
A week after I put the poison out, the heard really thinned out. They went hog wild are first. Heard them in the attic gnawing away in the bait box. Basement bait boxes were cleaned out after a couple of days. Smelled some dead mice in the house, but that was short lived. 4 months into, the mouse population seems under control. Very little poison is eaten out of the traps now. The last 2 animals on the glue traps have been Voles (in the garage).
