dead mau5
A few nights ago I was sitting in my living room, when I heard noises coming from the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and the noises stopped, and once I walked back into the living room and sat down the noises would start again. I was in the middle of smoking a joint, so naturally I thought I was hearing shit. The back and forth game continued until I stood still for about 10 minutes outside of the kitchen waiting for whatever was making the noise to appear. Voila, a mouse decided to bunker up in the floorboard of my cupboards.
At first, I was like, "It's one mouse, I'll let it live and play." But the following night I walked into my kitchen and noticed a lighter toned one doing the run from the bottom of the dishwasher to a crack in the floorboard. And then a bigger one (assuming an adult, maybe mother) following along. At this point, I was like, "Oh hell nah, I'm gonna get you little fucks."
Since then it's been an adventure trying to catch these rodents. I tried to catch them alive, but it didn't work. I bought and set some traps yesterday, but they set all of them off last night without getting caught. And they ate all the fucking peanut butter on them, too. Well, this morning, I reset the traps and finally caught one. Hearing the cries from a little mouse was a bit bothersome, but I didn't have any other choice, did I?
One down, two more (that I know of) to go.
As I don't have any cats/dogs, I prefer the poison stuff you put inside that black plastic thing. They dry up after eating that so it's a pretty easy clean-up and you don't have to hear the cries of the suffering mouse
Then again, if I had a cat I wouldn't have needed traps.

Dude, no...
Do yourself a huge favor and order some rodent repellent.
It's like mace, or pepper spray for mice & rats, except that it causes such an awful shock to their nervous system that they don't come within 50 feet of the scent of it. And yes, they even tell all their friends to stay away as well. Not to sound like a salesman, but this will be the last anti-rodent product you'll ever buy. Seriously.

Yet another reason to get a cat. Those little shits wouldn't survive a nano second with my kitties around.
Mice reproduce really, really fast. If you've seen one, expect 18.. Get some Decon. They're tiny poison balls that you can leave around when you leave the house. When you come back you will be able to tell if they have eaten some. Once they eat this stuff they get very thirsty and seek water outside. It is the least painful way I know of to get rid of them. Do NOT use this if you have other pets or kids around.

The same site I linked above sells crazy industrial strength rat poison designed for annihilating entire rodent populations inside huge factories and warehouses. I initially planned on ordering it, but with thoughts of cleaning up tons of dead mice and taking on bad Karma, I decided to take a risk and go with the repellent first, before going for overkill.
Within the first week my roommate and I heard two or three of them screech when coming in contact with the stuff. After that, we never heard from or saw them again.
Tom and Jerry was a great cartoon.
We have these things that plug into wall outlets that emit a high frequency tone, and it keeps mice away. I think in the past two years we have found one, maybe two mice in a trap. And it's always the same spot above our washer + dryer - the only place we don't have one of those things plugged in nearby.

fuck the mice. maybe the offspring is an evolution above humanity.
We sometimes get rats out in the yard eating the macadamia nuts that have fallen to the ground. They don't last long with a family of Kookaburras here 
I like mice. They're cute.
one of the advantages of not living in a major city.
a few weeks ago i moved into my new place and i knew there was a mouse problem because the previous tenants had decon everywhere. i got rid of the decon because one my my dogs had previously been poisoned by it and i almost lost him.
the first night my dogs were here they caught 3 mice and i havent had a problem sense... who said only cats could catch mice?
I hate seeing them. I have never seen one inside my apartment but my roommates said there was one a year ago (before i moved in).
I think I'll die.
ewww. I don't even know why I opened this thread.
Are mice this common in North America? I was 26 when I saw my first mouse... and I was on a farm!
we get rats the size of cats in the warehouse...the boys killed one the other day with a shovel. glorious victory to the warehouse.
on a side note, you dont wanna be poisoning them in your house, if they die in floorboards = you get stinky house.
They're actually rats, not mice.
Got some handyman I know from down the street to come over and take a look. We found a hole in the drywall behind the stove, and a hole in the concrete in the back. I guess they were getting inside the foundation from the back, and then into my place through the hole behind the stove. Pretty intricate for a little rodent.
Anyways, we put poison near both holes and will be filling them up in a few days.
I haven't seen any since the first one cried to its death. I wonder if that scared the shit out of the others.

1. those electric wall things don't work
2. cats don't either
when you fill up the holes, be sure to use copper steel wool. rodents will chew through regular steel wool, but the copper tastes bad to them. also make sure your kitchen is immaculate, no loose fitting trash can lids or food left out.
