Two dead mice behind storage area. The two corpses have been removed. Stinky!



For little critters these guys stink!




How do I keep them out? Mice with tuft on the tail. Field Mice?

Sounds more like a pocket mouse.  Evil little bastards, they are.  I've never found a 100% way to keep them out, but trying hard not to give them hiding places helps.  My cats loved playing with them.

unless your place is airtight they will find a way in. they can get in through the smallest hole, probably 3/8" or so. i used the little victor traps and that worked.

Poison bait is the best solution. To prevent larger animals from eating the bait I cut 2 inch PVC pipe to 6 inches long and put an end cap on one end. Put bait at far end of tube and place them around the inside & outside of your house.
When I first did this I went thru two large bags of bait. After that the baits stay untouched and my pack rat problem ended.

Walmart sell this.
