I use one of those humane (have-a-heart) traps. I then give the mice to my cousin who has pet snakes.

 

I let them live in the garage for the winter. There's no way to keep them out.

The one mouse that made it inside the house last year became a cat toy.

It was funny, actually. My mother-in-law couldn't sleep, so she went downstairs to watch TV. Next morning, she was telling us how the cat wouldn't leave her alone, and kept dropping her toy mouse in her lap. She kept throwing it, and the cat kept bringing it back.

We said, hmm, the cat doesn't *have* a toy mouse - she plays with string and plastic rings from milk containers...

So I go downstairs, and the cat is lying in the sun poking at a dead mouse...

 

No mice in my house.

 

 

i think the reason it's a bad idea to keep mice you find as pets is because you don't know where they've been and what kind of diseases they may be carrying.

 

They work!

The other mice we have had at our house one of my dogs has caught and put in its place.
