Hey guys, I live in a two-story row home and we've been having mouse issues for a while that have worsened in the past 8 or so months.
This is more than just a couple mice. We hear them in the walls, behind the TV in the cords, all through the kitchen and always seem them popping out of the gap above our gas stove. There is mouse poop everywhere, floor and above. When it worsens every couple weeks we see one sprint out of the bathroom almost everytime we go to use it, and I've caught them on the stairs before. They squeal in the bedroom and make it hard to sleep.
Tonight I found one in our bed. This is way too much for me and we have been trying so many techniques and keep things clean but they're very resistant or smart or something.
We've tried snap traps, various types of glue traps (some with bait: potato bread), and many types of poison coated in peanut butter, oats, breadcrumbs, syrup, etc. Snap traps proved ineffective, glue traps worked temporarily but the mice seemed to learn to avoid them, jumping over them even. We have bait blocks out now coated in goodies in containers such as a large empty party mix container, which seem to be the most effective, but the mice are reproducing faster than we can get rid of them with babies popping up all the time.
If anyone has any advice for this situation I would appreciate that so incredibly much. Although I know one of our neighbours is negatively impacting the situation, moving out of this row home is not an option right now. I'm just trying to reach for anything that can help the situation because it's getting way out of hand.
Btw, this is my partners childhood home owned by his dad, we have reduced rent because of that, but us and him are in charge of the house and any maintenance so unfortunately we're on our own.
Thank you so much to anyone that has any advice.
