Thanks Cinders! I did that. Im hoping tomorrow when I come in all the mice will be gone! I set 5 traps today. I have only caught the one last night, but hopefully when all is quiet, the rest will come out to play.

You can also try those glue traps instead of the snapping traps. Put some peanut butter in the middle of those. THey're tortuous for the mice I'm sure since they get stuck in the glue and cant get out, but it's better than having the mice with you.
The sticky's work, but the bad thing is you come in the next morning to a LIVE critter and then have to figure out how to dispose of it while it's still LOOKING at you.
EEEK!

For crying out loud, just use humane live traps and take them to a field! Okay, I'm biased, I'm a vegetarian. But I don't understand the need people have to kill critters who can easily just be relocated. I don't mean to offend anyone, that's just how I feel.
I will confess that I have never had to deal with mice...I have three cats (all indoors), and rodents stay far away. My youngest cat likes to go after crickets, spiders, and cockroaches, since there's no bigger prey to be had. One cat we had when I was in high school proudly brought his catch up to the porch one day...and it turned out to be a dandelion. We called him "the mighty dandelion hunter." This same cat used to sit so long by mole holes that he would fall asleep waiting!
Peace, Dawn
