This leaves the problem of what to do with the still squirming mouse/rat. I suggest Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes. The small box is the perfect size for a mouse or small rat. For only 4.90 you can ship it straight to the EPA. If it fits, it ships.
Want to humanely catch the mouse that is running along the baseboards in your house??
1. Take an empty gift wrap roll, cover and tape off one end and place along the baseboard.
2. Chase the mouse with a yardstick or broom handle. It will see the black hole of the open end of the tube and scurry in.
3. Lift the tube and cover the opening with gloved hand.
4. Open door and release mouse in sight of neighbor’s cat.
What happens then you can not be responsible for!
