Have you ever encountered such problems? Mice has come into my house and keeps spoiling my things. They jumps here and there, climbing up towels, dinning tables, bite wires and furnitures and pee everywhere.... We have tried using gum/traps etc but still cannot get rid of them.... any ideas?

Hi asxenon, it's really irritating to have mice indulge in wanton massacre or persecution to whatever available in our house. We did come across such disgusting problem earlier. We were told if there is totally no edible food for mouse then it doesn't have interest to visit our house anymore. Then we tried to keep all the food and fruits in the safety places like closet and fridge where mouse can't reach them at all. It's so disappointed and annoying that we still find mice visiting our house as usual. Oh gosh, just because we had forgotten the red and white onion, leftover, soap bar, etc and the mice were happy to take them as delicious food. After we were ware of this, whatever which would become food of the mice never expose in places where mice could reach again. Since then there isn't any mouse occurring in our house until now Happy posting

Wow, you really know how to starve a mouse :D The mice at my house even drink the oil from the oil lamp. Anyway, if you try to keep all the food out of reach for the mice, wouldn't they be bitting and destroying other stuffs in the house out of frustration? My washing machine was once spoiled by the mouse because it bites the wires...

We do have fruits and oil lamps on the tabernacle in our inner sitting room. The lampwicks even found discarding somewhere around the lamps when we woke up in the morning. Oil in the small oil lamp trays found running dry almost. I believe hungry mouse loves oil as well. One or two fruits were found with small bites on them. Luckily that mice available here earlier didn't have any interest in our appliances. Really sorry to learn that your washing machine wires were damaged by mouse earlier. Nowadays fruits and oil on the tabernacle table are safe from mouse. might be the mice here are fed up with taking oil only and they are not vegetarian mice We are really happy that there is no longer any mouse occurring here anymore. Anyway we still have to maintain and make sure that our indoor and outdoor environment are hygienic and clean.

I do agree the environment does matter but what happens if the mice come from the neighbor's house? I mean they have their nest in your neighbor's house but come to your house for food :p

keep all food items covered,all enteries I mean there should be no space between doors and floor. try some rodanticide baits.

The mice even bite the rubber lining that i put to prevent cool air from escaping for the air con... furthermore, there are few babies in the house, not sure whether rodanticide would be ok or not...

I am sure if there is no food available to the mice they ll leave your house.mice baits are to be kept at night and near the walls which is the possible track for the mice once one mouse eats the bait it gives alarm to others who will leave your house

It's actually more dangerous for the babies to be exposed to the mouse waste. Get some d-con and place it in areas that the babies don't go ..like under the kitchen sink, and in the backs of your cupboards. then when the mice leave make sure you pick up all the poison... just keep an eye on your babies when they are in a room where you have placed the d-con, so that if the mice have scattered it, they won't find any and eat it. But in my experience, the mice never leave any behind.

Get a cat or a Black snake. Both are good hunters and like mice.

If you can, get a cat! Out cat brings about 5 mice a week to our attention. If you don't want a cat, poisoned traps are best.

There's only one way to do it with complete success and that's D-con. They take it back to the nest, some of them die, they all get sick, and they decided that your home is no longer a safe place to live, and move out. I know it sounds cruel to poison them, but it's no more cruel than glue traps.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sometimes, it is not that we want to be cruel... however, rats are really causing too much of a problem and they even bring diseases....
