I also recommend Gary's Wildlife with a slight modification. Gary sealed up many spots in our house, set the traps, and came back a couple of times (yes, there were mice in some traps). All was quiet for a while, and then mice started sneaking in again. It's on my to-do list to follow up with him. Martha Johnson

No poison — which alongside killing other wildlife means dead mice in your house that you can’t find as you would a trap, so you have to wait out the decay — and no repeat visits or maintenance. He’s worked on a lot of houses in town, and I’ve never heard anything but positive reviews. And bonus, he’s a really nice guy. www.garyswildlife.com Sent from my iPhone On Jan 30, 2025, at 9:53 AM, Debra Daugherty <dadaughe...@gmail.com> wrote: I second Diana's comment. I believe we used some rodenticide in our neighborhood a few years back and I felt (anecdotally) that there was a decrease in some wildlife subsequently. Plugging holes is key.

Plus, most rodenticides work their way up the food chain and kill large prey like raptors and eagles. In our house, we seal any gaps with spray foam and wire mesh, and then put out snap traps to catch any strays. I know this is hard in older homes, but poison is not going to solve the problem in the long term as there will always be mice!

The recent cold weather has cased some mice, I think, to come indoors. I have not seen them but can hear them in the ceiling. If you know a reliable person, please reply.
