Robert from New York, Ny writes

A mouse either lives in or gets into my bedroom and gets into bed between mattress and base.

It has brought in lice & other vermin. Have bought products from you to rid problems. Have had exterminator to get mouse but failed. Put glue traps around, & snap traps & bait packs, all failed. Sealed all cracks with steel wool. Have not been able to find spoor, but mouse get into room regularly & goes right for bed. Hear it run and jump onto bed base. Have not been able to determine entrance point. In addition to products from you have used peppermint oil, spice bouquets & rodent repellent. It's smarter and tougher than me. Please help, if you can.

Answer:

It appears the mouse is likely nesting in the mattress itself or boxspring/base. Placing a snap trap in a shoebox to help disguise the trap should work fairly well in this case. You would place the box along the wall or an area that it would travel across.  Also may try not setting the trap for a few days and just baiting and after 3 days or so, then setting it.  This will hopefully make the mouse use to the box and unsuspecting when it is actually set.
