We had what we thought was a flying squirrel invasion in our roof (we had one 10 years ago but was remediated by hubby). Scratching and feet moving in the roof. One night after hearing the scratching hubby went out with a flashlight and saw a mouse climbing up the side of our house (log home). Next day he built two bucket traps. The first night yielded 7. Then 5. Then 2. Until none. We haven't had the problem since but considering building another just in case. Any mice that have been unlucky enough to make it into the house have been eliminated by our male cat (strong hunting prowess). One night he eliminated a momma and her babies - total of 5.
Also - I had a bird feeder hanging on the deck - I assume the mice were attracted to the seeds that fell to the ground so I no longer use it.
