Had mice in the attic, and they will climb up the brick and find a hole along the roofline. Shotgun.

Find, and plug, the holes through which they are entering. And don't leave food out for them. >Also, how do we get rid of the mice already in the >house? Thanks. Nothing beats the good old Victor snap trap. The best bait is a fresh raisin, crushed onto the bait pan. They can't tug it off without springing the trap.

Good suggestion - but they keep coming in - even though I have four cats. |
