    I used to live right next to a corn field. Every time they worked in the field with the big machines, it would scare a lot of field mice and a few would end up in my home. My cat would catch them and decided the best place to play with them is on my bed. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night by having a small furry animal scurrying across your leg or belly, followed by the cat pouncing after it with claws extended. I would freak out, then refuse to go back to bed until I stripped the bed and made sure it wasn't hiding amung my sheets. Soooo glad I no longer have to worry about that.

      I actually have woken up to a mouse on my foot once. I was at a sleepover with several of my cousins and we were all sleeping on the basement floor with blankets and pillows. I think I was 7 or 8 years old at the time? I woke up in the middle of the night because I felt something tickling the top of my foot and I thought one of my younger cousins was trying to be funny or something by messing with my foot so I kind of just muttered “(Cousin’s name), stop” without even sitting up all sleepy, but when nothing happened I sat up and saw there was a small mouse sitting on my foot. I started screaming bloody murder and flailed my leg up, rocketing that poor mouse across the room where it ran behind a tv. My scream was so loud it woke up both of my cousins parents on the second floor who where in the basement no sooner than I’d flung the mouse across the room, probably thinking we were being murdered or something. - Looking back, I think the poor thing was as frightened as I was and while I have no clue what it was doing sitting on a child’s foot (maybe it was cold and trying to cuddle? xD) I do feel bad it because if it happened today I probably would just saw ‘Awww’ and go back to sleep while trying not to disturb the mouse lol
      Important note, they didn’t have mice infestation. The basement window had a deep Egress that the mouse had fallen into. For some reason or another, the window was either open at the time or opened later and the mouse got in that way. I’m 21 now so the details are fuzzy since this was a long time ago now.

    Protecting your data is crucial. It's surprisingly easy for someone to track you down, even if you've searched for yourself online and found nothing. Your information could still be out there. As a genealogist, I've helped a lot of people locate missing family members. In most cases, I've been able to find detailed information like names, addresses, phone numbers, household members, neighbors, employment details, home ownership status, credit history, arrest records, and more. It is important to stay safe online!

    Not all cats are expert hunters. We had an Orange Tabby boyo who was brilliant at Hunting - field mice, the occasional squirrel, and the big black water bugs that are the oversized cousins to cockroaches which come in thru the heating ducts into the bathroom, never the kitchen. Note, we live in an apt on the third floor of our bldg, the squirrel came in up the vent in the kitchen under the sink! However, the larger, older Black Domestic/Maine Coon mix cat we had was terrified of anything living that wasn't a human or another cat. Kakarot went after things, Spook ran from them. Our current girls are hunters, but we've blocked off access points we dealt with things entering the apartment thru in the past, so they have never been tested. Each cat is different. Try an orange tabby - great natured and good hunters of toys or live prey!

    The best kind of rat-mice traps I’ve used are the flip buckets. They have them on Amazon and all you do is get a few five gallon bucket and fill it up about halfway with water, put together the flip top trap and smear some peanut butter on the flip part and I’ve caught so many mice and rats overnight, just a little tip from a Rez farmer lol

My cat Moonfrye found one of their entrances, and within a week, we are rat free. Not all cats hunt, but some cats do and will avidly hunt rats. My cats Moon and Chloe camped both entrances caught and killed a few, and the others ran for their lives.

    As a prior rat / mouse breeder, my rats LOVED cat/dog food, tuna, chicken, graham crackers/cookies in general. My father once got a mouse in his car who stole all his chocolate covered granola bars. Rats will eat just about anything but they are so smart, and curious, so even if you just change up what's around the traps it could help but, I would move the traps around too.

    Not all cats are mouse hunters. The cat I had would sometimes get mice, but then when she got spayed, she became lazy, and didn’t do much, and the only time she would get a mouse is if it would get near her food and water dishes. Other than that, she wouldn’t even care. I would suggest finding a cat to have or even borrow for awhile from a farm who is like a pro mouser. And would get even rats. I know a lot of dairy farms keeps quite a number of cats around to keep the rodents at bay. But another suggestion is finding a cat that could be an indoor outdoor cat. One who likes to be inside and outside. That’s just my thoughts. Sorry about your back. Hope it’s gotten better. Stay awesome. ❤️

    The ratinator trap is the best I've tried. I have chickens in an urban setting and started to get some rat issues, but the trap really has helped.
    It's made to catch several rats at once which for some reason lures other rats to join in the trap. The most I've had in the trap at once was five.
