I have five barns.

The mice are going to get in.

How much are you willing to go through to keep them out?

Sticky traps work great, but the cost per trap is pricey. Peanut butter on the trigger has a less than 50% success rate unless you can get the trigger to pop at the slightest tremmor. The box/run traps work if you have a lot of mice, but if you have this many, you have a bigger problem.

We set out poison boxes. Most of the mice die inside the barn and are swept up. This is the most effective mouse removal we have used.

Put the traps up and out of reach of animals other than the mice.

Hope you resolve your rodent issue.
