    Yep - Steel wool. I chased the little bugger til I found out where the hole was. That stopped them!! Unfortunatly, we have an old house so there's gaps under the doors. They were/are coming in under the sink where the dishwasher (which doesn't work) hose goes, then following the hose and eventually ending up in the kitchen. And just plain old walking under the back door. Grrr
    Traps, Traps, Traps and more traps. Not the crappy plastic ones. The good old wooden ones. Make sure you set it fairly sensitive.

    Yep for peanut butter too! It does work.

    If all else fails, get a cat!! Our cat is 9 months old and catches anything that moves. They don't even have a chance to get into the house anymore.
