My friend has a mouse. The exterminator said if he came out he would put out poison traps. She is worried this will be dangerous for her dogs. Is there a better way to catch the mouse that won't threaten her dogs?
Where do you put them then? And uh, how do you get them off the traps? Do you just take the trap out back and scrape them off the glue until they fall off and scurry away?I prefer to use the glue traps and I always set them places the cats don't go. I like the glue traps because I don't have to kill the mouse.
I don't know if I personally like the idea of live mouse traps..ewwww!. Anyways, I would not put down poison for sure. A huge danger to your pet! I would check with you Vet, maybe he or she can suggest something that would help.I think they have these types of traps out now that the mouse walks into and dies then you just throw the whole thing away. I've seen them advertised on TV, not sure how well they work?
I caught a mouse one time when I was living in honolulu for a while. I would hear it screech across my floor at like 2AM. Freaked me out too. So I got one of those sticky traps and put a nice little piece of chocolate on it. Guess what? NEXT MORNING! I caught that bugger, stuck to the trap trying to eat the chocolate.

You would just throw the entire thing away, like the ones that trap the mouse inside so you don't have to see it. I tried using a glue trap once with no luck (they went to the traditional snap trap). I never thought about it, but I'm glad the glue trap didn't catch them. They would be stuck, alive, and just wiggling around... ick!Where do you put them then?
