[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2184091, member: 24446"] It's actually pretty easy to catch large critters who've invaded the house if you're physically able. As mentioned above the first step is to find where they are coming in and going out. Look for worn spots, discolored areas, that kind of thing and it will be easier to find the hole. Then determine if you want to trap in or out (usually in is easier). Close up the holes and make sure there are no weak areas that they can quickly turn into a new door. Put a live trap in the attic with some cat food and peanut butter (I've found those two appeal to most critters) and wait. Whatever you catch you just release away from houses and put the trap back then repeat until you stop catching critters. Problem solved and a lot of money saved. There are organizations that will loan you the live traps so you don't have to buy any. If it's little critters like mice then you have to really get down and dirty to find their holes in the attic, seal them with steel mesh and set kill traps with peanut butter around the attic and repeat until you stop catching mice. It's a pain, especially in an older home but it's doable. Then get a cat :) usually just having a cat in the house will be enough to keep mice from living in the house, even in the attic. Plus it's a great chance to adopt a kitty from the Humane Society :) [/QUOTE]
