Mouse Problem
Last week I discovered partially eaten food and mouse droppings on my desk, so I went out and got some mouse traps. Well, a few days later, and to my surprise, I caught not one but two mice (and I had set up two mouse traps). I hoped this was the end of the problem, but this morning I awoke to find more droppings on my desk.
I'm afraid that the stupid vermins reproduced or something...What should I do?

Put a tall bin next to a counter with a bit of food at the bottom. They'll jump in from the counter but shouldn't be able to get out again. Then you can take em down to a local park or somewhere. Rather than murder them.

or use something like this (unless that's what you meant by 'trap'):

seriously though - call someone in. They can be a real pain to get rid of so you might as well get a pro in..

Forget all that crap.
Now's the time to take advantage of the situation and have some fun.
Mice normally like to travel against the wall/baseboard as a survival instinct so cut a 2' long by 1' tall piece of plywood and place it against the wall as a shield in the area where you're finding the mouse scat.
Setup a little buffet on the floor in front of your shield with all kinds of mouse munchies like peanut butter, cheese, veggies, etc.
Now get yourself one of these little night-vision babies and a high-powered pellet rifle.
Turn out the lights, setup a chair on the opposite side of the room, put on your ipod and crank up the soundtrack to Apocalypse Now.
Have fun.
If you're looking for a little more challenge then you could go medieval on their little mouse asses and substitute a crossbow for the rifle.
Happy hunting.

However, it does sound like a fun night.

Actually might not be a bad idea. I have heard that mice don't like the scent of a cat, so even if you let one in your house for a little bit it might help.

Haha, getting a cat will trigger my allergies big time. I put out two traps last night, and the sneaky bastard(s) got all of the peanut butter but wasn't caught.

If he's just taking the peanut butter off, try putting it on the bottom side of the trigger (I think you can do that)
