How to Get Rid of Mice

The Family Handyman editor, Travis Larson, shares some of his best tips for catching mice without a cat. He will show you where to place mousetraps to catch the most mice. Can you beat 41 catches in three weeks?

“Six is the body count here” was one of my favorite lines.

It’s midnight and I just saw a mouse in my room and I freaked out so I’m watching a bunch of videos about this 😂

I live in a century-old abandoned factory, so there are lots of mice here. At first I felt really badly seeing their tiny little furry corpses in my traps. That is, until the day I went to get a slice of pita bread and found a tiny little hole gnawed in the bag, a miniscule dime-sized hole chewed into one slice... and mouse turds covering all the rest. After that it was: *I AM BECOME DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.*

I set a mouse trap once and it just disappeared the next day. I couldn't find it for the longest time until I moved the coffee table and underneath it was the trap with a just a leg in it. Months later, after catching various other mice, I caught a three legged mouse ;P.

Mice have been studying this video for centuries

Idk what mice he’s dealing with 🤦🏽‍♀️ maybe he’s out in the country and those mice aren’t book smart but these city mice must’ve went to an Ivy League school for avoiding mouse traps

Found a mouse in my house. Moved out the next day. I ain’t dealing with this shit

Great flick. I enjoyed the cheesy humor.

1:13 "lure them in with bated but unset traps to get them relaxed again" muaha...muahahahaa...

I was freaking out all night about how I was gonna die from mouse droppings. This video really lightened the situation up. Thanks, man.

I just put the mice in my house on my taxes as dependents.

Brenda buys mice from the pet store to keep her husband busy, killing mice is far better than killing people.

41 catches? You need to search and plug some holes with steel wool and spackle! I love the cute in this vid lol!

“Hi, im Brenda! The trappers wife”. 🖤💊🚎 lmao

[brianblackburn]

Very informative. Also;the wife is funny. “If your cat gets to old, then get a younger, hungrier cat”. Epic.

This is no regular mice problem, this is an infestation.

Good tips, but I gotta say... mice don’t care if their little friends get snapped. They walk over them to get that peanut butter every time. Good video!👍🏼

When I had a dog, she ate dry dog food, but so did the mice!  I'd be sitting here at the computer and Murphy's bowl was just around the corner about 8 feet from here.  I kept hearing something move the food in her bowl and thought it was her eating, and I'd look into the next room and she'd be sound asleep!  We found lots of her food under the couch cushions.  One night I actually saw what was going on.  They'd run around the wall at the baseboard from the living room into the kitchen where her food was, travelling at almost light speed, they'd jump into her bowl and spring right back out with a chunk of her food and run right back where they came from!  It all took place in about 3 seconds!  They would do this 5 or 6 times a night!  So, I outsmarted the little bastards!!  I left her bowl where it was, but put an unbaited trap in the bowl.  I might've left a few kernels of her food in the bowl to act as bait.  Lo & behold, the next time they jumped into her bowl for food, they had a surprise waiting for them!!  They'd jump in, but would never jump out again!!  The trap caught `em!!  I nailed at least 3 of the bastards that way!!  After that, Spring was here and they left.

My favorite “how to get rid of mice” video so far! You guys are adorable. Thanks for the tips. I’m having a hard time catching them right now so I’m going out and getting 10 more traps today....and a jar of peanut butter!

This does not get rid of your mouse problem - they will keep on coming. It's like putting a bucket under a leaky roof. Water will flow into the bucket forever until you fixed the roof.
