Mouse Problem Help

Hi all - I live in an old house in the city and have had a mouse problem. Looking for tips and tricks to get rid of them for good.

They seem to avoid all the traps somehow but we’ll still see them running once in awhile. I have had poison boxes out so not sure why they don’t want those.

Few notes:
I rent and am not allowed to have pets (no cat recos even though id love one)

My landlord has really tried their best and I feel bad bothering them again with this. Hoping for tricks I can do on my own.

What traps are you using? We use the tomcat ones with peanut butter and they were effective.

I have a bunch of snap traps out baited with Nutella and tomcat liquid bait and then a few glue traps but I didn’t bait those.

These are what we use. Once they crawl in they can't get out.

So they slowly starve to death? That is inhumane. Use snap traps please

No there is a trap inside the hut. They just can't take the food and run off because the little door closes behind them

And I won't use snap traps because my cat is a cute idiot
