I don't often reach out. I've recently moved to a rural location, I have mice in the kitchen, previous person that lived here wasn't the cleanest(being polite there), I can't find the actual source where they're coming from, I have dogs and so can't use poison. Any advice on best way to go about removing them please?.
I've bought a couple of humane tattoos and a couple of snap neck traps which I will place out of the way of dogs. Best bait? Etc etc.
Are there plants growing right up against an exterior wall?
Do you have a cat? If not, are you open to getting one? Not an indoor cat.
It's all about cats, traps, spray foam, and steel wool. And I'm not talking about some gay little bitch cat, I'm talking about a big male jacked Tabby, maybe more than one. We have two Tabbies on the property, and they do not go hungry. Of course non-Tabbies eat mice too, I just have cat preferences based on personality traits.
Traps: snaps (cheese/peanutbutter) and sticky pads. If the mice are breeding in your walls, the babies will stay in the nest while the adults go out for food, until you've killed all the adults, then the babies come out. Snap traps don't work well on babies, but sticky traps work great.
Either spray foam gaps and cracks, or stuff steel wool into them. Mice can chew theough spray foam (but they might not, like in my case), but they cannot chew through steel wool.

Do you have a crawl space?
Do you have a garage attached to the house?
