chickadoodles, yes mice are destructive, to say the least. When I first posted on here about having them, because the field across the road became an apartment complex, so the mice, and rats relocated onto all the surrounding properties, I was embarrassed. I had never had any problems with them, and thought others might think it was because I was not tending my coop properly. I tried several methods to get them under control, but failed. I ended up going to the Do-It-Yourself pest control place, and getting baits. Just so you know, the ones I chose do a very good job eliminating them, AND they are not a 3rd. party toxin, which means that anything that might eat one of the poisoned rodents will not itself be poisoned. I put them in a couple bait stations near the outside of the coop, then a few more further out to draw the rodents away from the coop. I've had a lot of success with these baits, and feel fairly comfortable using them, since they are not a 3rd. party toxin.

What is the product called?
 
As for unwanted critters, I prefer the DYI 5 gallon bucket and popcan trap. totally harmless to anything else and can be very entertaining

Very effective anywhere outdoors or in outbuildings. Inside we use sticky traps and the plastic version of the snap trap. A bit more expensive than the original wood ones but very easy to release the corpse without having to get near the nasty end.
