Homemade electric fence for mice

[JRobyn]

Wonder if there is any sense using the electric fence to isolate an area to help find the entrance point.

Don't think so. Once they make it into the attic there are an almost unlimited number of routes they could take to get from place to place.

We are having a terrible mouse problem at work. We supply raw meat products for the fur and pet industry. Mice got into our forklifts and chewed the wiring. So far sticky traps are king but they seem to be wise to them now. We caught fourteen mice in sticky traps and I didn"t think we had more than a few mice. We put out peanut butter baited traps, so far no luck. Poison is not an option. We set up a game cam and get pictures on it but won't go in traps. We have always had repeating traps that we would ocasionally get mice but they don't even go in them lately. I know it cost over 3 thousand dollars to fix the forklift don't need any more of that.

The 5 gallon pail with the spinning PB coated can at the top seems to be popular in industrial/farm settings. There are a few pics on here..... can't remember the name of the thread.

Board ramps leading up to the open top of the 5 gal. bucket, 6" of water in the bottom. The water may also help lure them.

Recently I became aware I had a mouse in the house so I set out a trap, the classic spring loaded mouse trap, and was soon rewarded with a dead mouse. Unfortunately another mouse showed up almost immediately so I set the trap again and caught another. I figured if there were two there might be more so I continued with the trap and ended up with a grand total of seven mice! :shocked:

I experienced about the mouse problem,I thought I had 1 ended up catching 21. I love your Bubbles pic.
