mouse infestation

Actually, I'm dead serious about killing mice. It seems like mice have moved into our 92 year old home with a vengeance. It started about 2 months ago, as it got cold outside. I was able to use traditional mousetraps to kill a lot of them, but then that petered out as the remaining ones seemed to keep to the walls more, and not bother with the traps, no matter what tempting morsels I might put in them. About a month ago, I finished installing clear plastic panels over the open joists in the kitchen ceiling. I had installed tube fluorescent lights up there. Now I notice that in just the past week, there are probably 60 mouse droppings up there on top of the plastic, and I can also see yellow where they have been taking ****. This is right up above our kitchen stove. I'm wondering if our mice could be numerous because my sister, who lives on the other side of our duplex, is a packrat. She tends to leave things lay around, including food, which probably gives them a perfect breeding ground. They finally got into her foodstuffs so bad that she was forced to make some changes, though. Still, I believe they have plenty of hiding places in the boxes piled up over there. Obviously, this is a serious problem. I want the mice dead. I've been thinking of either fumigation or poison of some kind. Anyone have experience with this sort of thing? I'd like to get something that I can put all over in hidden areas, which will eradicate these things. Exterminators have some stuff that will kill every mouse you have *Fast* and last years. They spray powder in the attic, under the house, in cracks, everywhere. I had mice so bad they were chewing holes in the wall to get at a sack of dog food. Mysterious Traveler |
