The field mouse went by the name of a wood mouse, and it is very common in the United Kingdom. They live deep inside the burrows by creating their own nests. One will rarely find a wood mouse or field mouse in houses. They love to stay in the fields, woods, and open spaces. There are several ways you can deal with a mouse infestation. They not only spread diseases but are a form of severe nuisance. Here are a few ways to deal with them. They are repelled by the strong smell and will not come anywhere near it.
All you have to do is dip cotton balls in peppermint oil and place it at different places in the house. In order to take care of field mouse, you have to prevent them from entering your house. Rodent-proof your house helps to prevent their entry. They can enter your house from any small opening. Check whether a hole is big enough for a pencil — if it is then it is big enough for a mouse. So, go ahead and seal it. You can use steel wool. They are super-fast and will hop away before you can even spot them.
In order to get past the cold winter months, the field mouse will create nests or try caulking. Cats will obviously keep mice away. They will never dare to enter your house once they smell the cat urine and feces.
Anything that they might love to eat should be removed. This includes pet food, bird food, leftovers, and cardboard. Cookies and bread crumbs will attract them even more. Keep everything in sealed containers. Choose nothing but metal. Keep your garden clean. Trim the trees, shrubs, and remove every kind of piles, debris, and other types of hiding spots. Make sure your compost storage is tidy. Make a mixture of Cocoa powder and Plaster of Paris.
Use equal quantities of both. The field mouse will be attracted to the smell of cocoa powder. It will eat it. But, when it drinks water, the Plaster of Paris will harden in its stomach and result in its death. They eat the bait right off the victor traps. The poop insite the D-con round traps and do not get caught!! I read that they will chew their legs off if caught in the sticky traps….. Awesome traps if you like to get some verbal revenge before ending their little liveszz.
And sticky traps are just so inhumane. Just imagine that kind of death being stuck like that for yourself. Or, on second thought, DO stick one to your eyeball. Do you love rodents? Best rodent is a dead rodent. They destroy, contaminate and carry disease. If you have a better way to handle them then state it. I use chocolate. Just melt a small amount of chocolate in a teaspoon, then pour it onto the bait spike and let it set.
I know it sounds fiddly but trust me it works….. I caught 7 mice with the same piece of chocolate! They can do that but I have had good luck with the sticky traps. We put peanut butter in the middle and a trap with pb on one side of it just in case. This year seems worse than normal for mice. I am going to try that next to fill some small holes outside. You may find dead mice inside too. I can always smell if someone uses poisons, their place really stinks. Live traps work great.
It is not decaying death you are smelling it is mouse piss and some poisons dry up the corpse so there is no smell just mouse fur left leaving behind a dust bunny. There is a type of poison called Ferret and after they eat it they go outside. We have been using it for years and it usually keeps them out of the house as long as you remember to put it out every couple months. This winter has been bad though, nothing is working so far.
I have mice in my garage not the house. No food but they get in under the garage door. I keep finding them inside a plastic tote — I smell them because they get into the bin and then cannot get out.
It is a great way to kill them but I do not want them at all in my garage because next thing you know they will be in my house. Get a grown cat or borrow one. No kittens I never get any in the house except when my cat brings a present for me from outside.
But I did have some in a big shed. Never saw them just the droppings. They can fit into any space. One day I left the door to the shed open and curious cat had to explore. No more mice. I have done everything they suggest! They eat the bait off the traps! The go in the ones that they go in and never come out…the poop, then walk right out!
So, you turn a skunk loose inside the house to catch the mice … hmmm. I have been having trouble with field mice in the house this week…I kept the sliding glass door open for the dog guess they got in through there.. I have been using peanut butter…. Im scared to drink out of an open soda can thats been out of site for two mins I mite choke on s mouse. Finally found a mouse trap that works. The trap is pretty sensitive. Once the mouse is caught…dead, you just squeeze the trap open over the toilet and flush.
Then squeeze a little more an the trap is reset. They never get any of the peanut butter. I have 2 traps within 12 inches of each other. Sometimes I find one in each trap.
I keep a clean house and sealed off the areas of the house I can get at. Trapping seems to be the best way so far. I agree with Daryl. I like the loud traps, makes me feel warm inside, it will scare off the rest of them I hope, the bazoka is very loud, but it does make quite a bright flash to look for others,. I have had some luck with making a mouse swimming pool.
Ok ive killed 5 mice today. But not before they took me forna run for 2 weeks. So I also am a neat freak super clean. But that doesnt matter its getting cold and those little rat basterds want warmth. So heres what I figured out. They will eat shit right off snap traps with out even setting it of. But here is the trick buy some cheap stick of chedder cheese from like aldies or jewel. Than take a half suger cube size of cheese smush it with your fingers on the metal part that the mouse is supposed to step on.
What this does is makes the mouse work at it intill it snaps his little mouse head off. Hope this helps. Last season I trapped 31 mice and then set them free. So far this year I have trapped 14 mice and freed them. I drive them at least one mile away from my house and let them free into the woods. I do not have the right to kill any living creature and refuse to do so.
A humane trap is the way to go!! Honestly sometimes, get a grip, who runs the Earth, man or rodents, I guess your type sees Orkin as murders? Grow some balls , protect yourself and others not rodents, when one bites you and you get sick or die well anyway who knows. Mice can kill! They chew through you wiring and burn down your house!
Any one know how to stop this? If they are field mice and they stay in the field that excellent. However these buggers come into the garage and chew the wiring in my car, so I trap and kill them , less they become mutant Engine Mice…. Mice are absolutely disgusting they carry diseases they poop every where there urine is very potent and can harm people if digested.
I am terrified of them because they are so gross. Why would you want a scavenger for a pet? I never had a mouse at all my house always clean no food droped I had pest control come in mouse traps down and poisoning me and my daughter is scared go in my kitchen I have allergy off cats I donet know what to do still alive.
Fuck mouse, I seen one once, went to home depot the next day got a snap trap, caught the dumb creep the same night, I think we only had one, cause I havent seen one , or seen evidence since.
My 1 year old plays here. They have 4 dogs. Back door often open. Caught about 6 this week. I used to be humane. As a ftm, I want them gone by any means necessary! Dog food gets dumped by 1 dog…and found in couch recently.
I have a 1 year old who makes crumbs out of anything…truly freaking out. How do you sleep at night? You have an infestation mice can reproduce after 3 months being born and they have lots of little ones check out the victor website there is this electrical trap that can hold 10 at a time.
I hate them bastards but if I set a trap in the kitchen I usually catch them them bitches I have one who comes intoo my room every nite I have a trap set in my room but that lil creature go all around it! Could it be I eat and live in my room! Mice and Rats smell human scent if you touched your trap, it could be that your scent is giving your intentions away the mouse will not go near it, solution use gloves when you set your traps.
I know a lady that died from mice poop. All she did was breathe it in while cleaning. So yes kill mice that are in your house people come first. There killing my baby chicks in a very brutal way. They have a huge tunnel system all though out my yard. Use gloves just like I told the other poster human scent, rats and mice will not come near a trap if human scent is on it.
Starting to get too many field mice in our small garden they seem to be coming from neighbours who has wooden decking near our fence, they dont bother her as she doesnt see them or want admit to it , putting poision down now as counted at least dozen, was so scared just stopped counting an sat an cried!
Was told they breed every 14 days! Why do you think there was the Black Plague and the Justinian Pandemic, because of rats and mice carrying fleas that boarded ships from China and braught to Europe, the fleas would jump onto a human giving them Plague, the plague would cease during the winter then come back during spring and summer when the weather was warm.
I read that the black plague was introduced from North America by Viking fur traders. One record was found that recorded a fur loaded ship that came into port with all the crew found dead. Got One! Omg I literally clean my house and mop my floors every night but I been Seeing a mouse thing run by me like it belong here.
I pray its just one. I need natural things to make it stay away!!! Could never use a trap that kills them and I gotta remove it I would die. Freaking heck. Its spring going into summer y r they inside??? Go to gander mountain or dicks sporting goods and buy coyote urine and pour it around the outside of your house around foundation.
How many babies do field mice usually have at one time? I smear the circle in the end cap with honey roasted peanut butter and then put just a dab about a half inch on the floor of the entrance.
When it snaps shut it must scare the poop out of them as they always leave a pile of it behind. I always rinse the trap with cold water to rinse the poop out after each use.
What they say about if you see one mouse you have many more is true. The first few nights I caught and reset the trap six times between midnight and sunrise the next morning. It took a week of this before I got the problem under control. Over the years I have learned the mice come in in the spring time to nest and breed and in the fall to escape the cold.
During the mid summer they usually find enough insects, worms, etc. Tootsie Roll or air heads caught 5. Best thing even though some people thinks its mean. Buy sticky traps. Than go to store buy brillo pads and clog all entry ways that they come in. Than go to your local sporting goods store gander mountain, dicks sporting goods ect… And buy fox urine.
Spray all around outside of house. And that should do trick. Also make sure every night to empty your trash out of your house. I have a friend that uses 5 gallon buckets with just enough water and sunflower seeds to trap and drown chipmunks.
I am going to try the same thing with mice except I am going to slather peanut butter under the lid of a loosely fitted lid on a 5 gallon bucket. There will a hole for them to access the bucket and aroma but they will likely cliff dive into the water. Lift lid, dump in hole in the ground and repeat. Nasty little rodents breed faster than you can kill them. My cat is dog tired! Sticky traps are inhumane.
Let it run wild and eat all the food while getting my nephew and niece sick? Screw that! A pest is a pest, and all pests must die before it makes someone sick. I bout peed my pants last night. By husband has a bad habit of keeping the garage up allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day and night and even a skunk came up to the open garage the other night.
I could honestly care less about killing it. I like allllllllllll of the suggestions and will be visiting my local Menard, Walmart or Lowes after work. Thank you. Field mice are excellent jumpers and their hind legs are stronger than those of house mice.
The weight of a field mouse varies between 13 and 27 g. Its diet is highly diversified and usually includes seeds, young plants, buds, berries, insects, mushrooms, snails, earthworms and root vegetables such as carrots, zucchinis, etc.
It varies according to the season. Field mice reproduce quickly; they can have from 2 to 4 litters per year, with 4 to 6 babies each time.
An adult field mouse will live a maximum of one year, the winter being a very difficult period to get through. This small rodent is usually active at night and is very common in rural areas. House mice are the most common mammalian rodent. They are clever, which makes them hard to catch. A house mouse measures between 7 and 9. Its coat is uniformly grey-brown. It has small legs and big ears, and its weight varies between 12 and 30 g.
A house mouse eats about 3 grams of food per day. Its diet is also diversified.
