I've read that mice have an incredible ability to memorize patterns, once they find food they can recall exactly how to get there...once study said cab drivers often had a similar skill.

So they advise moving things around once you set traps out. The mice will be forced to seek out a new route and will be more likely to find your bait.

We had a lot of mice this winter. The snap traps did nothing so I put out a lot of poison baits in the dirt cellar...didn't happen overnight but it was clear when the flies were massing on the warm side of the house outside that the deed had been done. I couldn't believe how much of the bait they had eaten.

ok now it's on.. hadnt seen any since the original sighting so i figured.. maybe they actually decided to bother my neighbors instead.. just opened my door and spooked on that was on my bed. and it lunged for the door way (aka at me) and seeing as i was just as surprised as he was, gave me a good jump. i am not to found of things jumping at me from out of no where. now he must die... also. i am now fairly certain the point of entry is under/behind the fridge. so now i gotta move that... greeeeat.

I had the same problem they were comming in from the crawl space
and then under my stove. Put down poison pellets d-con I think .
It took a couple applications but it did the job. It was weird because I
could hear them munching when the house was quiet and I was on the computer in the dinning room . I also had the swarm of flies to let me know it, they were finished .
