Mus musculus
So we have a Mus musculus problem (or maybe Peromyscus maniculatus): either house mice or deer mice. We came home a day early (due to rain in Thunder Bay) to find out that we have unwanted guests in our house. What would have been a short unpacking from the trip (due to some clever foresight), ended up being a long afternoon of cleaning and sterilizing the kitchen and other parts of the house. We had intended for tomorrow to be a down day, but it looks like we have to get in the car yet again to go to town to shop for some traps or other such things that will remove our guests. Thank goodness all of our food was packed away in Rubbermaid containers or the problem would have been worse. Ideas on getting rid of mice would be greatly appreciated!

That sucks!! you can use the live traps which are easier to set then the old fashion snap traps. But then you are not illimanating the problem and they may just find their way back into your house. If you like...I can shipped our cat to you and you!!! All the best on your mice hunting!

Ugg! Mice! I’ve had the same issues with live traps just ending up with them back in the house again. I recommend the kind that humanely kill and seal the mouse. You don’t have to see it or touch it. And it keeps any fleas or ticks also sealed away. It’s perfect for a man with a family, such as yourself! Here’s one with a 100% kill rate: http://www.victorpest.com/store/rodent-control/m265#desc
