How do you trap, or even SEE to identify, suspected attic mice, when you hear occasional running and clawing from your ceiling, but your attic has blown-in insulation that looks like this?:
Is there any solution other than bringing in a crew to suck out all the blown-in insulation, then exterminate any mice, look for & seal up any holes (and cover ventilation holes along the edges with screening), then blow the insulation back in? Don't know that our budget would cover that right now. I heard mice like tunnels. Maybe if I by lengths of say 4-inch diameter PVC piping, then nail a mousetrap inside each one baited with peanut butter, then drill a hole through one end of each tunnel to tie a string to it, then for each tunnel, hold one end of the string as I throw the tunnel out into the insulation... then pull the tunnels in by the string periodically to check traps?
