Glue traps are inhumane. But I guess you have to do what you have to do. To discourage mice keep your house clean. Take all boxed items such a cereal, rice, etc. and empty the contents in plastic containers. Remove trash from your pad every evening.

I wonder if there are any audio type things available? You know, something that emits an audio frenquency that humans can't hear but drives mice up the wall and away. Do they exist? If not, someone should investigate the potential and make a million bucks...the better mouse trap....the mi mi Mi MI Mi mi mi mice trap.

Such audio devices are indeed available; you just plug them into a wall socket.

Mice avoid that area of my appartment.

I don't know what effect they have on domestic cats and dogs, though. Not good, I suspect.

Rodent body count: 3

All caught with glue traps after more humane methods had failed.

These are Supermice, immune to poison and smart enough to avoid the conventional spring-traps.

Make that 4.

I think the critters are getting smaller, though, which suggests that the nest is becoming depleted.

You guys need to get a cat. I moved into a house a few years ago that was infested, brought a cat in, and within 2 months they were all gone--we'd be in the living room watching a movie and the cat would come around the corner with a tail sticking out of her mouth--good kitty.
