General consencus is that if you release them five miles away you'll be ok.
They'll either get lost or find something they like just as well on the return trip. (I think they now carry little GPS locators).
The cat might have helped, but these meeces (10, an armada) were in the attic, cats don't like hot attics loaded with fiberglass dust and noisey heating/aircond machinery.
Hal, knock it off, don't give 'em any ideas ok ?
A female mouse is sexually mature (able to have offspring) six weeks after being born.
A female mouse can have 8 litters of five to seven pups per year.
An exterminator will come to your house and place poison (Dcon?) at various points in the house and attic, which then leaves the house uninhabitable for three months until the strong stench of decaying, maggot-infested rodent carcasses begins to taper off.
I catch spiders and toss them outside to fend for themselves.
I'll fetch one or two ants onto a wet fingertip and toss them outside to fend for themselves (three or more is considered an invasion and will be dealt with in a different manner).
Rats and mice have incisors which grow longer throughout their lifetimes, thus are forced to chew on things such as the infrastructure of your house and the electrical wiring therin so they can keep those teeth at a manageable length.
They cause house fires and kill people.
No mercy.

I't's probably just Satan in your attic. 
Remember at the start of The Exorcist?, when Chris McNeil think's she hears "rats" in the attic, and it's really just Old Scratch dropping in to possess her innocent daughter. Nope, i'm afraid no traps or rats are gonna help, who you gonna call?; Father Merin-THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!!!!!

At first we tried these new fangled traps with jaws that never worked. Finally, my mom set some good old fashioned mouse traps with peanut butter and cheese. One by one, the little buggers were caught and disposed of. It did make for a lot of interesting conversation most nights last winter, and some interesting conversations between myself and Ms 4Pawz, who used to love to use her mouse icon to tease me at a time when I was having trouble with the real things! LOL! I think in the summer the mice tend to scatter outside, because I havent seen one for months now. It will be interesting to see if they return now that the colder weather is setting in here in PA. Oh well, if they do, I guess I'll just fight em with the traps like I did last year, and get rid of em one by one. Pawzie, get your mouse icon fired up, you may be using it again with me this winter, although this time I hope all I see every night is your mouse icon, and not the real thing! LOL!

My parents have a rat problem. Cats might be good with mice, but with rats, they are big and aggressive, and cats can be scared of 'em. Glue traps seem to work, but you have to kill them yourself. Seal off as many holes as you can to prevent them entering from outside. put out a variety of food, and a variety of traps. The same food over and over they will get bored and move to some other part of the house you'll have to chase them to. The same trapsused over & over and they get to understand them and work around them somehow. Rats & mice both are rodent geniuses.
