The advice you got before is all good and works but as long as I have Rex the mouser dog I don't have to worry about it.
I herd a noise in the kitchen one night and looked in the kitchen and Sox the cat had a mouse. I told my husband to put the dogs outside so the cat can kill the mouse. Needless to say she lost the mouse under the washer, so we let the dogs back in and in less than 5 min. Rex (my JRT) had the mouse I herd one squeek and the mouse was dead. He didn't eat the mouse once it was gone he left it lay on the floor. I also don't have to worry about snakes he will kill them as well. Not any help but it is a cute story I think, good luck with your mouse proble.
