    You need to find the hole they are coming in. Cover it so they can't get in. make sure they are out when you do this or they will be trapped in and die.

      That's the problem as well, the hole is outside and from the attic its by a crawlspace can't get too . owner would need someone to come by and get on the roof but is not moving on this. very frustrating to hear those rodents upstairs grrrr.

      I will see about that thanks for the response.

    Get a case of spray foam, stand back and point. Get plastic tubing for the hard to reach places. Get a case of moth balls and scatter everywhere they hate them.

    I got a harmless trap and used peanut butter as bait It worked.


    The other solution is to use black snakes but my wife wasn't enthused about that although it also worked.
