I live in the country in a mobile home and couldn't keep mice out of the house so I made some little boxes that were open on both ends and put poison in them and left them outside. The boxes are just big enough to hold the poison baits so nothing bigger than the mice could access the bait. My plan is kill them outside so they don't get inside; works pretty well.
I also use the bucket method. The first week I got fourteen mice. The next week I only got four mice. After that I only got one or two in a month.

I had mice chew the wires on my vehicles so I put cable guard ( plastic, corrugated and split from one end to the other around the wires and that was that> You can get the cable guard at automotive stores and it works.

Before I put skirting around the house, we were getting several mice every night in traps. I asked my wife if she would like a nice coat from the skinned out mice. She replied most certainly NOT,NOT,NOT!!!!!!!!! I asked her then well how about some nice gloves??? Same answer.......lol. Before we got married, I told her she would need a strong sense of humor and to her credit, she's holding TUFF.....lol

We have Wood Rats in the Missouri Ozarks. I have an unbated Haveaheart
trap sitting outside along the house on the lower level. I have caught 52 in six years. I don’t have much of a heart after they are caught. Keeps them out of the house.

Those would make a full length fur coat. Just tell her they're mink....naw, she might know the difference.....lol
Wow!!! that's a lot. Once in a while I catch a packrat; they're a real problem too.

What encourages them to go into the trap if you don’t provide bait?…🐟on

Wood Rat same as Pack Rat. Named that way because their nests are full of collected human objects. Know to spit out food to carry a shiny object back to their nest. Shell casings, lids, jewelry, bottle caps, etc. Before I got them out of the house they dragged a small rug into a hole. Rescued the rug and fixed the hold.

I don’t bait because I am not trying to attract them and I apparently don’t need to. At the beginning I used a piece of tim foil wrapped chocolate taped to the trip lever. I found the trap empty and the wrapper on top of the trap. Then I taped the chocolate under the trip lever. That worked to get them out of the house. It had been vacant 5 years. Now I just set the trap along the house and they get caught.

Bye little fella!

Had my 14' Jon Boat in garage and of course a Walnut tree outside. Bottom hull filled with Walnuts over the winter. Leson learned. Tree cut down and sold for furniture, Boat sold as well. To old to be in one by myself.
