I've had mice go after the bird seed for my Cockatiel. There's a large field next to my house so they occasionally get in the house.

Glue traps are your best bet. Mice don't chew their feet off.

But since you're living in an apartment, I'd save you have rats, not mice.

Rats will chew their own legs off.

We had a mouse which used to steal our cats dry food.
Funny thing was he was an awesome cat who used to bring home rabbits, squirrels etc.
But a mouse living in the washing machine stealing his food he couldn't outwit.

I've not once heard of someone having a rat invade their apartment.

Mice - Apartments and houses.
Rats -Subway tunnels and parks.


Glue traps tbh.

They are two different animals, you know. Rats are too big to live in the walls of apartment buildings.

Maybe it is different in Australia. I live in a totally urban environment, so much so that parks are the only wild bits. Rats and mice live differently here.

No, these are rats from European ships, not craters in Papua New Guinea.


Anyway, in NYC we have mice and rats. The mice have adapted to live in apartments and houses as they are small and go often unnoticed. Rats are large and generally need more terrain to scavenge. The subway tunnels and parks provide that. There are no grain fields here unless you count the Staten Island and Staret City land fills.

question, what do you do with the still live mice after they've stuck themselves to the glue traps?

Amazing. We have the same rats here, but they have no trouble living in walls and roofs of peoples houses as well as anywhere else humans reside. There are also no grain fields near me and funnily enough there are also very few mice.

Build a trap? Really simple to do, just look on youtube. They like chocolate and peanut butter Much like I do! Please remember though that you need to take the trapped bugger at least a mile away from your house otherwise they find there way back! Don't buy a cat, there useless, all mine ever does is play with mice, fun to watch as I am sadistic! But the cat never seems to kill them, its just gets them to a state of shock, when the mice doesn't move cat gets bored and moves on to play with leaves in the garden! Leaving me with a half dead mouse in the house :p

Brought some "advanced mouse traps" instructions say use peanut butter, chocolate or tuna.

I've got tuna hope it works.

Back when glass milk bottles were in use here, you could set one up on a diagonal angle with a little bit of milk/cheese at the bottom.  Mouse would go in to get the food, and if you got the angle right, its claws wouldn't let it crawl back out of the bottle, because of the angle.  Come back in the morning, hey presto you have a live mouse for the cat.

I hope you didn't give the milkman the bottle again.
