I just found out that my neighbor that I share a wall with is moving out because of "the mouse issue." This is the first I've heard about it. I'm pretty sure I don't have mice. I haven't found any chewed food packaging or what looks like mouse droppings. I do have a cat but I'm not confident he would know how to kill a mouse. I've never seen him chase anything on the floor but I know he will chase flying insects. I also haven't been presented with any "presents." Could he really be keeping the mice from my apartment by just his scent?

The wood and copper spring ones are total crap. The mice will steal food off them all day, I'm sure they've evolved to see them as traps by this point.

What you want is the red and grey plastic ones like these:

I've seen one of these things kill like 4 mice in a row. And it was all the same trap, on the same night!
