What if they're rats and not mice...how do you get rid of those guys?

@FloorGenAdm I believe it was a mouse. They sell rat-traps.

@cherokeepatti I just don't wanna use poison or sticky ones.

@FloorGenAdm When we lived on a farm one morning at breakfast my uncle said he heard a noise. Looked up at the ceiling and said it was in the attic. He walked up the stairs and saw a huge rat. Came back down and got his shotgun. He got his shotgun and went back upstairs and killed it within 5 minutes. Brought it downstairs and it was as big as the huge lab-rats that I saw at the university in the science building. About the size of a smaller possum…seriously could do damage to the wiring or even to humans it if bit someone when they were sleeping. Didn’t know how he worked his way into the house being that large.

@FloorGenAdm I don’t want to use the poison because they can wander outside and die and then kill a cat. But I have used sticky traps and will keep doing so. Caught one smaller one about 3 months ago in an insect sticky trap out in the sun room.
