BigBob, I know the feeling. My first winter on my acreage I killed over 20 mice. Seemed like the previous owners didn't do much to knock them down. I used traps like you did. Then I put Dcon up in the attic. That seemed to kill off one of the sources.

I also put Dcon out in my shop to kill off that population. I hid the boxes in locations where the dogs couldn't get them. It seems to have helped. The following winter, I killed some more, but only about 6.

I got tired of checking my trap line so I went with poison. It seems to be working. I haven't found where they are coming in, but I know who built the house so I expect there is a mouse highway somewhere.
