I do not have mice in my home right now, but I do set out birdfood in my yard. Can I place this outside along the foundation of my house?

I had to send this back since it did not work. The Havahart trap and the green tube traps work very well.

Yes, I have used this with pets in my yard, but I took great care in insuring that my animals could not get to the pellets and eat them. I have on occasion found dead mice in the yard. My dogs did not try to play with or eat the dead mice, but I'm sure that depends on the dog.

I have been using Havoc for years....with complete success.....I have found very few left over critters in the house......I had an issue in my 2 bay garage....after I baited the garage area and the sill of the house inside, I have not had a mouse in the house for years......they generally seek water.....and leave.....I would say bait the attic, but also bait the sill of your house in the basement. they can move around quickly....replace the bait, once a year.

Hi; if you want to place it outside you can do it but I never have done it yet. If I should do it I would put another blanquet onderneed

I feel it is best to place it away from the house. You do not want bugs being drawn to the entrances of your residence. I had a problem with one of my Dynatraps, called the company and they refused to repair it. It is a "throw away" product. I will not purchase another one of their products. Worked well when it worked, but very short life. I would not recommend a person purchase this brand.

I keep mine in the house. It would be a good idea if you are going to use it outdoors.

I have a yard that backs up to open space where the voles live. They were going after bulbs etc. in my yard. I had been using warfarin under my deck before I knew what was coming into the yard. Warfarin did not work but the voles loved it. So I used it as a feeding station under my deck since they were coming regularly and feeding on it. (I had a lattice around the deck so our dog could not get to the poison.) I was having a problem with the voles eating the motomco so I sweetened the "pie" by thinning some honey and coating the motomco. I have not gotten rid of the voles but seem to have fewer bothering the yard. I also was fortunate to be able to see some of their burrows out back so I put some motomco in the entrance to their burrow just before a cold period with snow. This also seemed to help. However, I fear it is going to be a battle to get the voles to eat the bait and not the taste things in the garden. I do not put the poison out where the birds or other animals can get to it.

I used several bags in our seasonal home and put them in the corners or closets where the mice liked to run. The smell is not overpowering and I used 2 boxes for the lower 600 feet of the home. No mice now for 2 months and I stayed down there for 3 days during hunting season.

Yes! Absolutely!I set mine between the lawn and my woods, baited with peanut butter and birdseed. I read oatmeal works well, I have caught more with this trap than any other. I have 3 which is expensive but I am taking voles!

Leave it natural as it is intended. Some birds will not use "houses" that are painted. The paint is for our benefit mostly for the cuteness factor.

Yes, it could help. I had droppings under my sink where I keep my kitchen trash can. After using the bags for about 10 days I caught 2 mice in the kitchen and no more droppings under the sink. I use 1 bag under the sink and for the 1st 2 weeks I put the trash in another bag to go outside (double bagged). It works. It's worth trying on shelves but not near dishes/glasses. Find where the mice are getting in.

animals, unlike humans, do not need winter clothes; in nature I suspect they just burrow a little hole to live in so just let em outside just a lot further from your house, they'll find a new home before they freeze. If you do get snow, I'd look for a field with a lot of bushes, low trees that would block some snow and leave some open ground. I feel that we get so caught up with the humane thing that we forget mice (and other animals) have fur and are much better adapted to "living in the woods" than most humans; however if you still feel iffy about their winter survival let them be in your home for the winter. IDEA: if you don't like a neighbor, maybe release near his/her house. You got to figure if you just let the mice out in the back yard, they're coming back in because it's easy shelter

Not always, it is better to use a plastic wrap as mice love making nesting from fragments of paper, and the bark of your trees. Using a 10 mil plastic over the wrap just at the base of the tree or vine keeps the wrap in place and keeps plant protected, but just at the base say up 4 to 8 inches.

I don't think it would be a good idea to use these outside, they'd get covered with bugs, and god knows what else. Why would anyone want to catch mice outside?

You would probly have to add insulation the nesting area has slates in the bottom I added ply wood to the inside for winter also put in wood shaving and straw they stayed warm enough but I also put tarps around there outside pen to keep the wind off them. House probly holds 3 maybe four chickens . Hope this helps

No it does not mess with the wiring of your house - rather it uses the wiring of your house to create an environment that mice can not stand... Our house was built in 1913 so I completely understand your concern, but don' t worry.
