Of course, sealing up where they came in is required before you turn them loose into the winter.

Gregg bought me steel wool, which my architect neighbors, who have a mouse of their own, advised. It's not like I have food in the house -- I guess it's just warmer in here, and I'm only a foot or two off the ground (I live in a kind of beach shack).
LOL, I read the post to find out how to get rid of my Brother in Law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Heh, heh,
He's too big to get in that trap, do they make a larger size?

Hi, I believe it was in the Chicago Reader over thirty years ago where I read of this idea. Put out two bowls, one filled with water and one with a mixture of corn starch and portland cement. Do it at night when the dog is inside. The mousies eat some of the starch/cement and then drink some water. By morning their intestines turn to concrete.
Having lived out in the country, my advice is simple. D-Con. I went through a BMW wiring harnass trying to be nice.

I was disappointed to see that this was about mice. What about human vermin? My friend (or she used to be)lost her job over the summer and was unemployed for nearly two months. It follows that she lost her car and her apartment. So she asked me if she could stay with me til she got back on her feet (keep in mind at this point she has found another job). I say yes under the conditions that she pick up after herself (as she is holing up in my living room), take care of her cat (who I hate), and pay $200 for rent. She gives me thee money alright but that is all. She never cleans her cat's litter box and she is constantly forgetting to feed him. She never picks up after herself and has the worst personal hygiene I have ever seen. She has been with me since July and has only managed to "save" $200 for moving out. My real roommates and I have had it. She is disrespectful of our house rules and blew $220 on a trashy tattoo! We are moving in February and she knows she is not coming with us, but I want her gone now. Especially after finding out she has been talking about us behind our backs to mutual friends. Any advice on how to get rid of this house-pest without being cruel?

(The steel wool is to fill the holes.)
