Can you smell mice?

We have had a pet mouse, and their pee smells like vinegar.
I was at a location the other day and I smelled that smell. It ended up being vinegar (I actually can’t remember the details lolol).

Oh gross. Thanks for that association.

Is there a trick to operating the snap traps? I've watched a bunch of videos and even had the exterminator guys show me, but they still keep snapping either on my finger or before I have a chance to put them down.

Which poison do you use? Does it get rid of them permanently because they stop coming back, or do I have to leave poison out in the attic for the rest of my life?

Never been around mice so interesting if people can smell them.

I know you can smell weird smells in a pet store that sells mice though. Ugh!

If you can smell them, that is an infestation. Very unsanitary. You need to call and exterminator STAT. Hanta virus is real and can kill you and your family.

The best thing to do is block the gateway. Chicken wire, spray foam, steel wool.

Chicken wire is too big.

Rat nests have a strong smell. Also dead mice.

Yeah they are nimble little creatures and able to squeeze through holes smaller than that.

Hardware cloth is what one seeks. Finer mesh screen can be chewed open by mice.

Practice. Maybe you got a bad batch. Little rough sanding on the arm/catch will roughen them up and make them harder to trip.
