parents are hoarders, so they have an an infestation right now, the mice are too smart for the bait stations, only the naive young ones ends up eating it, and most of them dont even die from it. we recently bought these lulucatch glue traps from amazon for under 25 for 48, it has been very useful because we have so many of them. but mice will figure out the traps and avoid it at some point, the only way was they panic and frantically run into a trap. we did catch quite a few recently, only 1 breeding mice was caught so far, judging by the size of the mouse. Also make note, that mice will not fall for the same traps, or if they smell human scent on it, so dont reuse any traps.

the glue traps we use are much larger than the ones we originally used, so more surface area for catching mice. glue boards work to, but much more expensive.
