    recordsclerk: “If you don’t have pets or young children, you can use rat poisen/pellets. It works better then traps, but you might still have to remove the dead mice. Put the poisen or traps in places where you’ve seen mice droppings. If you see obvious holes in house that need to be sealed you can request that you landlord take care of the problem.”

    I could have my son set out some traps. As I said, we tried the ones that smash them in half, but maybe we didn’t put out enough of them. I thought they were gone. We used the peanut butter like the directions stated.

    Now, I’m wondering about the poison traps. Someone said that it’s really nasty because the mice bleed from being poisoned. Is this true?

    I have to agree with most of the men on this site. DEAL with it! I also am a woman and had a major infestation at one time. The saying goes, if you see one, you have an entire family. What I did was place the mouse trap in a lunch bag, and put that on top of a newspaper, that way when I caught one, I never had to look at it or touch it, (I used jellybeans, that was the only thing that they couln’t eat off of the trap without setting it off.) Then I just picked up the paper and tossed it. Next step is to get some decon traps and place them all over the garage. You will never see one again, you may smell a dead one from time to time, but that goes away quickly. By the way, forget the sticky mouse traps, because the little fellows get stuck in there and scream until they die a slow and painful death. That is just plain barbaric.
    Navydoc, I have to say I loved your response. We don’t always have to be PC. Merry Christmas!

    Allen, no way in hell would my son be smoking pot. He’s an innocent one. Of that, I’m sure. The day he ever did, I’d probably jump off a building. We don’t tolerate that in my family.

    Novice, thanks for the paperbag tip. I can use that if I use the traps that pop ’em in half.

    well, someone tell me if they bleed from the stomach if you use poison. That would be a horrible sight.

    They bleed from everywhere. The poison is Coumadin a blood thinner given to people. When they eat the poison they are in search of water, so you will always find them close to a water source. Sound like an expert? I am, I had an awful winter experience some years back, and at one point they were jumping out of my toaster and my stove in the middle of the daylight. My house is very clean has nothing to do with that. Once they come in from the elements, they are your new roommates! YIKES, I have poison traps in every square inch of my house downstairs and garage.
    Usually they just curl up and die in a corner,but sometimes you have the unfortunate experience of seeing them in their death throws, still better than screaming for dear life.
    Now that I think about it, I have more rodents stories than one would care to mention, I could possibly start a new thread, lol!!
