Don't worry the NSW Premier says everything in Rural NSW is going great other than the mouse plague.

We fought a losing battle against a mice infestation for a couple years, and the only thing that finally stopped them was sealing off their point of infiltration (some little 1 1/2 in. pvc in the basement that led outside). We plugged that up, trapped the stragglers, and that was it.

wouldn't the spiders and snakes eat them?

They reproduce too fast for it to matter. Those things are just in a giant ball fucking all day.

you've got to do this. the literally drag their nuts and piss around openings to act as a scent attraction for other mice near the entry point. if you dont close up the opening then you'll end up fighting an endless battle.

That's a common misconception.
Most things are happy just to call you a c*** and be done with it.

Yea I had the same problem, found the hole and plugged it.

No more mice and we killed dozens of them.

Get a cat or two that isnt a lazy bastard.

Set traps wherever the cats cant get(Like an attic you rarely use) or(if its even possible) setup cat safe traps.

Scour the house for up entry points and seal em up.

Dont scare off any possible predators in your yard/outdoor property. They will pick off a few. Wont solve the problem but can help keep it a little more manageable if a Hawk, Owl, etc. sets up shop.

My apartment doesnt have a mouse problem but I did see a mostly eaten mouse outside the other day. We have a Hawk, and various other birds, rodents and small-medium mammals around and a decent chunk of em eat things like mice. My old neighborhood had a lot of stray and feral cats(plus some owls, a couple hawks etc.) and they ate the shit out of mice. Never ever saw one in the house. Only corpses outside a couple times a year.

Dont have neighbors.

If all else fails burn the house down and drop a nuclear bomb on the charred ruins.

you only get mice when you leave food out. Take away the food, clean the house and the mice will leave

This happens every few years there and eventually the mice all cannibalize each other and the population goes back down. It is a cyclical occurrance from what I've heard.
