how do mice get on the 8th floor? :sadface:

[cheebacheeba]

Yeah the traps work, though not always.
"Places to hide" like clothes being everywhere could be a factor. You'd probably know if one was hiding out in/on your clothes because they piss on everything.
The snapper trap things will kill them one at a time, but then there's the initial outlay, constant refilling with food, and can sometimes be a grisly disgusting stinking mess that you would be most likely of all scenarios (short of eating their shit), to contract something...that and like I said if you have an infested building it's like trying to hold back the tide with a bucket...so, fun for a while to be sure, and might give a feeling of revenge but inefficient for the ongoing cause.
The electronic devices will keep them ouf of your apartment, or leaving soon after entry - this I would say is the most efficient method to keep your individual apartment rodent free, as most landlords/superintendents will not want to acknowledge the problem and/or blame you for it, will generally not act on an infestation or order/purchase a fumigation until it becomes "major", eg - seeing multiple mice on entry, which is MUCH worse than you want things to get.

You think mice are bad?Try laying on your bed half asleep and you feel something going fluttering by.You get up and a realize there's a big ass fucking bat flying around your room.That's happen to me twice and I've had birds get in three times.

The only trouble is that now I've scared myself and I'm probably gonna sleep with my face down.

She tries to grab it but by this time, the tail has just passed through her lips. Then she can feel it crawling up towards her brain and the nibbling begins.

AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shit ferret, that made my skin crawl.

Elvis is right, peanut butter works great for attracting the little bastards to the trap.

Hate to tell you this, but check the shelves if you keep towels or blankets on them. I used to live in an older building and had a mouse issue for a while. I had some old towels that I used for rags occasionally, so they were on the shelf for a while. I grabbed a few one day and guess what I found on the bottom of the pile. Little fuckers had nibbled holes and left turds behind.

I just killed what I hope was 1 of 2, that sucked. the other one I am forcing my boyfriend to kill when he gets home.

I felt so guilty, had to have my first cigarette in like over a week.

Please don't let them make you start smoking again! They aren't worth that! One ciggie in over a week isn't so bad, actually that's pretty damn good! But don't start as a habit again. :)

I love animals, but there are places they don't belong. House mice are fair game to the humans that kill them. I stopped feeling sorry for them when I found turds in my silverware drawer (wasn't gonna mention that unless I had to). But, yah, it's really gross to have to "empty the trap" (assuming you're using traps), I always made the boyfriend do that part.

Smile your little smile --- take some tea with me awhile.
Brush away that black cloud from your shoulder.
Twitch your whiskers. Feel that you're really real.
Another tea-time --- another day older.

Puff warm breath on your tiny hands.
You wish you were a man
who every day can turn another page.
Behind your glass you sit and look
at my ever-open book ---
One brown mouse sitting in a cage.

Do you wonder if I really care for you ---
Am I just the company you keep ---
Which one of us exercises on the old treadmill ---
Who hides his head, pretending to sleep?

Smile your little smile --- take some tea with me awhile.
And every day we'll turn another page.
Behind our glass we'll sit and look
at our ever-open book ---
One brown mouse sitting in a cage.
