I just found out that my neighbor that I share a wall with is moving out because of “the mouse issue.” This is the first I’ve heard about it. I’m pretty sure I don’t have mice. I haven’t found any chewed food packaging or what looks like mouse droppings. I do have a cat but I’m not confident he would know how to kill a mouse. I’ve never seen him chase anything on the floor but I know he will chase flying insects. I also haven’t been presented with any “presents.” Could he really be keeping the mice from my apartment by just his scent?

    The wood and copper ones are not crap. Skill issue. Learn to adjust it.

    Someone else recommended those new Victor ones, I haven’t used them but I’ll try them this field mouse season. I can tell you the TomCat brand “no touch” traps are garbage.

      Wood ones get picked clean consistently or set off with no kill. Victor ones require no skill. It’s like clockwork, set them and they’re dead immediately.
