Sep 4, 2013 at 14:06 comment added Pete Becker I once set out a live trap for a mouse, baited with a peanut butter granola bar. Caught the mouse, took it outside a couple of hundred yards from the house, and released it. Two days later it was back. Set out the same trap, same bait; caught it and took it two miles away. It hasn't been back since.

Here is the other question. diy.stackexchange.com/questions/31394/… I have been looking at sources on screening against rodents, and I have a found some conflicting information. I haven't been able to find any information on the reuse of live traps on the same population.

Splitting into two questions
Sep 3, 2013 at 19:01 comment added BMitch I'd say split it. Venting your roof and catching rodents are two different skill sets.
Sep 3, 2013 at 18:40 comment added Atl LED @BMitch If I should split them up, I have no problem with that. Seemed like 2 questions to me, that were closely linked so I put it up as one. I can edit to split into two if that would be better here
Sep 3, 2013 at 18:38 comment added BMitch There are a lot of questions in there. But to answer one of them, screening your vents is perfectly acceptable. You want airflow, not a rodent highway.
