Use some food as bait and you will be finished with your mice issue soon enough.

Cats are sworn mice enemies and will hunt down each and every little creature in your home. But cats have needs and like all animals they require love, attention, care and protection. So if you or someone in your family has the time and attention for a pet, only then should you think of buying or adopting one.
The solution to getting rid of mice without poison #5 – The ruler method. Take a ruler or a paint stirrer and stick some peanut butter on it at one end and top it with a few nuts.This is your bait. Balance it on a kitchen counter so that half of it is over the counter and the bait half is on top of a trash can. Mice will try to get to the food, will topple over and fall right into the trash.
