Probably wasn't hard to catch. :mj07:





I caught him by the tail this morning so he was free with his head to move around or whatever he wanted to do. So another mouse or rat came up and probably ate his head while he was still alive.

Billy is 3 hrs away from me. Im slowly catching the whole herd up there.

Dude the bottom line is u have to find out how they are getting in ur joint or it will never stop. These things can craw up walls. Like OS said check ur soffits or even the top of ur gutters where they meet the fascia board. These things don't need much room to get in. Home Depot sells bags of steel wool. Jam it in any hole u see. I would be afraid that a bigger creature ate the mouse. Maybe u have racoons up there. U have any trees near ur roof where they can climb the tree and jump on the roof? One time i came home and a pretty big black bird was flying around in the house. I hid under the bed for four days :mj07: :mj07: Terrifying i tell ya. Just terrifying.

Question. In the summertime it probably is 150 degrees in the attic. How can they live up there during the summertime?

rats will still be around.

i checked everything again today i cant find jack shit where they are coming from. No raccoons but maybe a squirrel? I do have some trees by the roof but theres no way they can jump from tree to roof.

I do have a couple of pipes coming out from the roof and i called the original owner and he said i dont know what they are for possibly a AC pipe hell i dont know. Maybe call AC guy and ask him what they are for and can mouse climb in the pipes and ened up in the attic?

The pipes are for ur plumbing to vent out gasses. they are not getting in that way unless u had a shitty plumber who hook them up.

They rats can be getting in from ground level and then crawling up a wall.

Pier and beam foundation? If so, the might be entering in the crawlspace and going up the wall.

d-con is bait. I used the dish with pellets no odor. Don't know specifics just that it worked here. Check-out the site Jack posted.......

The mice/rats eat them and then will look for water and then it's over......
