Its a banner winter for mice. For the past few weeks I have been trapping a bunch in my motor home, garage, and shed. I bought some of the Black & Decker ultrasconic transmitters. I have three in my motorhome, a couple in my shed and a couple in my garage. I thought they might be working early on but they don't work for poop.

I killed 14 mice in my motor home with old fashion traps in just the last two weeks. :sick I can't believe it! All I can say is that I hope they are going for my peanut butter first and not my wiring.

I also made a prototype bucket trap with a ramp, dowel and a spinning tube which is in my garage. I have drowned a few mice in it. Works pretty good. Cats have caught a few too. How's everyone else making out.

:lol: i am glad i am not the only one!

i have lost count, buy they put rabbits to shame when it comes to reproducing!

one year i got over 50 between the attic, and barn! mostly the barn of course!

as i get one, i cant help but think how many i have prevented!

The key is to never stop, as they will be back like the morning sun!

Actually this winter has been pretty good for myself in regards to the mice issue. Only one in the trap in the basement and one for my dog outside. The one thing that I like with the dog is that every time he gets a mouse he brings it to the back door to show off his handy work. The best part of that is my wife's reaction when she opens the door to let him back in. :mrgreen:

When it comes to catching mice I prefer the catch & release program. After catching them I keep them locked up a few days until there real hungry, then at night I set them free at the local chevrolet dealership :aok
