I worked in the pest control business for about 5 years some years ago.
Glue traps work for a time but eventually mice and especially rats will adjust and they won't work anymore. Same thing for snap traps. You will only catch a few when the infestation is really bad so a few less intelligent mice get caught in cross fire. Same thing for other traps , tin cats vectors etc. Mice will adjust and just jump or run around them.
Here is a cheap affordable remedy.
Go to a home Depot or Menard etc grab a bag of green mouse poison. DO NOT GET THAT CHEAP GRAY shyt! And don't bother with "d-con" products again trash quality.
Tomcat mouse and rat poison is a good product and the bag is only about 8 dollars
Don't put that out by itself, again mice and rats will adjust. What you have to do, is mix it with foods they can't resist
For mice they can't resist bread and peanut butter. Take 1 piece of bread make like a half peanut butter sandwich crush the poison and mix it with the peanut butter and put it in the sandwich. Leave the half sandwich with the poison near areas the mice are at but not where small pets or kids can get to it. The mice will def take
For rats, get some cans of tuna fish. Open the cans mix the poison with the tuna fish, again in areas the mice frequent and where small pets and kids can't get to it. Give it a couple days on both, your problem will be just about gone, and what's the best, it won't leave too much of a dead mouse smell because the poison eats at the mice and rats insides.
Side note: there is a anecdote to the poison, it's a ingredient that you can find in cat and dog food. So don't leave cat and dog food out, as the mice or rats will eat the poison, then run to the cat and dog food to cure themselves.
Hope that helps someone
