OT:any advice on trapping mice?

My SO and i have recently discovered a very serious mouse problem in our kitchen. 3 that we know of. We cannt figure out how they are getting in and we can't afford to buy actual mouse traps. I'd prefer not to kill them but if we can't help it I can live with it I guess....we can't use poisons because our dog might get into them. I think this is making living here a major health risk but we can't move till the end of the month. Until then any ideas how to get em out or catchem would be great thanks.

There are mouse baits that are child/pet proof.  I bought one a couple of days ago because I found evidence of mice under my bathtub.  Make sure you get rid of them and don't come into contact with the mouse droppings.  There are some serious illness you can contract from mice and you are more susceptible since you are pregnant.  You may want to think about a professional exterminator. Good luck.

Take some very strong double sided tape, stick it to your foor or surfaces where the mice are, put a little cracker or sumthin on the tape &' wen the mouse walks across it will get stuck (provided your tape is strong enough) they also sell traps that are nothing but sticky &' the mouse can't get off (very inexpensive) &' they have no poison on them .. that's what we used .. good luck

I tried being nice to ours and now I have a large issue. They mate like crazy. The sound things don't work. The bucket thing doesn't work. Just spend 5 bucks get ten traps put peanut butter on it then be done.also look at your dryer vents and for any holes larger than a dime.fill them w steal wool.
