Have you ever had a mouse problem in your house?
I have a friend who rents a room in some big house...The house is in a big city...
His landlord put some mouse traps in the kitchen area...
My friend saw a mouse on a trap...It was a sticky trap...A mouse was stuck on it...It was not dead yet...
He lived at that house for several years...He never saw his landlord using mouse traps before...
I used to have cats. They would BRING IN mice to play with from OUTSIDE and then let them escape in the house.
I use this type of trap. They work great. They are reusable. You can lift the metal bar and the dead mouse falls out without touching anything that was in contact with the mouse.

I drop them into a plastic bag and seal it and throw it in the trash. Reset the trap, rinse, repeat.
As an elderly man with a prostate condition, I can empathize.
Regards,
With all do respect sir, not anyone’s business and certainly did not enrich the conversation. Good day.
Regards,
All good and well, but still do want to hear about your prostate. Cheers.
I bought plug ins that have a high pitched sound that don’t bother the dogs but bugs and mice can’t stand them. You can get six if them for $30 on Amazon.
But they do cause cancer, right?
Regards,
LOL!
And to the cat fanciers I say that cats like to play. It’s an extraordinary cat that is a mouser.
Poison works. Better than a trap.
I just sent you the CAT scans by private message!

And your choice of marinade?
NOT.
“Poison works. Better than a trap.”
Until the little bastards crawl somewhere inaccessible to die, and then rot, smelling up the house.

You guys crack me up, this is epic...
there is more to setting a trap than just loading it and setting it out. It needs to be set in a dead end container or the thing will just flip the mouse out of harms way then he comes back and eats the bait. Needs good bait also, fresh peanut butter is irresistable

Never had that happen..
there is a tale of a chimney-builder who built a chimney and put a dead animal in it to be removed when the customer paid the price of the chimney.
Seriously, these victims of poisoning seem to reliably leave- for water.

Very interesting trap...
Setting the trap seems to be not too hard...
But, some people have to learn not to throw up when they see a dead mouse...
I think disposal of the dead mouse should be handled by the husband...
I think most wives would be glad not to deal with the disposal of the dead mouse...
There probably are a few women who do not mind dealing with disposal of the dead mouse....After all, there are female animal control officers...Animal control officers sometimes have to deal with dead animals...
I'm not Buddhist, are you?
When I was about six or seven, Dad found a mouse nest in the hall closet under the stairs. He got the coal shovel from the hearth in the kitchen and scooped up all of the little pink mices babies, took them out along the old carriage lane behind the house, dumped then out on the hard dirt, and pounded them to pulp. All of us kids were shocked and appalled but, life's lesson learned on how to treat vermin.
Ask a person who has a pet snake what they feed them.
Two reasons I don't bother with Victor...1. I've only caught one mouse with them so far. Glue traps have caught several dozen. 2. A Victor will only catch one mouse at a time, when they do work. I've caught as many as four mice with one glue trap. It appears mom, dad and the kids were all trying to move in. Well, they didn't make it past the glue trap.
