[quote=Ricechex]There are roaches here, but I think they are the outdoor roaches version: those really big ones that come in from outside, similar to Hawaii. Not the smaller roaches that live in your house with you. We use pest control every 3 months on the outside perimeter, and no problem.
A bigger problem is mice! Have mouseproofed the house twice in 4 years, and they keep coming back and making new holes. Not found of glue traps, or the snap traps as they are inhumane. Snap traps don’t always kill them in one fell swoop, and it is just painful to find one alive scrambling to live. The poison pellets cause them to die of thirst, and they come running out for water, and sometimes die inside the walls, so until the rotting carcass is gone, it is a smelly ordeal. And, the tenant had 3 cats and that didn’t stop the problem, so go figure.[/quote]
We’ve had to deal with a few indoor mice. This electontic trap did the trick every time. Easy to set, more humane (I think), and you don’t have to handle or even see the mouse, as you can toss the entire thing in the trash (we dump the mouse in a bag and keep the trap).
