This year, my bluebird houses, which are normally “winter housing” for the mice, are empty. I will put out some “bucket of death” traps for the mice soon...that will give me an idea of how many there are out there right now. I do not want them invading my buildings and equipment.
Guess that's who needs them LOL. But I know I sure don't need them in the house. I tell them I wouldn't trap them if they would just stay outside but they don't want to listen. I put a mouse trap in my closet just in case they start to try to come in. I have yet to catch one.
