Once caught a mouse with a glue trap. It practically chewed its feet off trying to escape before it died.

I'd say that their entry point/food source/travel areas just happen to be somewhere other than where they're plugged in. Also that you probably don't have a serious problem, just a couple finding their way in from outside.

Uh no. We did have a serious mouse problem...well my bf's parents did when they still lived in this house. Since they got those things, no more mouse problem. You used to be able to hear them in the walls.

Hmm, I'd really say it's something coincidental other than those devices, but not discounting it outright.

Oh I guess you know our house and the former mouse problem better than we do.

No, I just have the knowledge that those devices don't work. Oh and also my dad was a highly experienced exterminator for 20+ years and had to take care of severe mouse problems in innumerable houses that had those devices, but that's incidental.

Well they work in our house, as evidenced by the lack of a fucking mouse problem that used to exist, lol.

hahahahaha

There you have it. If you want to get rid of rodents, don't send Jenny a whopping two friend requests years ago. Oh wait, that's totally unrelated. CURSES!

Anyway, if anyone is still reading this and ever has a similar problem, I've stated my multiple experiences with the devices (backed up with verifiable sources and not based on one personal experience that can't be attributed to coincidence.) Apparently, empirical evidence is irrelevant these days. It's your money.

OrangestO, do make sure you stuff the holes with the copper steel wool before you seal them. You can also check for holes that might have "rub marks" as well. They'll have brown stains around them from the oil and dirt rubbing off the rats as they continually use them. Focus on putting your traps and poisons around them especially and seal them off well.

I tip my hat and say GOOD DAY.
