yeah...i've had to deal with em at my parents place before
the old school trap definitely works better than the sticky trap

i think they've evolved to realize that those sticky things are death.
i learned that the trick to the trap is to lay out a bunch of them (3 or more), with bait (peanut butter/oats) but NOT set them yet. Wait a few days and see if the mice approach it and eat from it. Once you notice that they're eating out of it regularly, set the trap. I set 8+ at my parents' old place with this method and almost all of them caught a rat within a couple of days. The clean up is always a bitch though.

Still curious about the ultrasonic things. I know the building management at my workplace uses em, but I'm not sure how they are for home/balcony use especially with pets nearby.
