We noticed some droppings in a cabinet the other day and have found the small hole chewed in the back corner where they get in. Last night, I spotted a mouse in the laundry area, which is on the other side of the wall from the holey cabinet. We set a trap there and killed a mouse during the night.
Our current plan is to do the following:
- Buy more traps.
- Keep setting traps until we stop catching mice.
- Repackage much of our pantry into nibble-proof containers.
- Be ever vigilant. (For me, this includes adding mice to my mental list of "Critters that threaten my yarn and fiber stash")
Get a cat.Darn my spouse's allergies!

If you do not have any rodent pets, you can try the electronic approach. Gaiam sells things you plug into the wall that let off noise outside our hearing range which is intensly painful to rodents so they leave.
Have you thought about getting a "Rex" cat?? They're those cute alien looking ones without hair (like a peach fuzz). I have a few friends with cat allergies that have them. Knitter's just shouldn't be without cats. Unlike husbands & children, they really get the whole "yarn thing", lol.
