There was a house mouse in our house. It was sighted a week or so ago. We saw it just a bit ago run behind some cabinets. A little awhile ago, I set the Trapper T-Rex Snap Trap for it. I placed two of those with some cheese in them right in the mouse's path where it was earlier. Well, no more than 15 minutes later...SNAP!
I laid the traps on a newspaper, so my brother just picked it up and dumped everything in a plastic Wal-Mart bag. I then took the bag out to the curb to put in the trash cans for the morning pick up.
What an exhilarating Thursday night.

Pansy for not wanting to drop the mouse out of the trap for future use. You could have used it to catch a few thousand more to make a coat for that special lady in your life.

Mister!.....You are not a true Hunter as you are waisting good resources! As eskimos use every bit of the whale they catch for food, clothing and fuel. I have a neighbor that just came here from Thailand that would have made a good soup out of that mouse!

HAha. A really small special lady. We still have both traps. We set them up again in case there was another mouse. The traps are mouse-free right now.

I have some mice/rats in the attic and kitchen area. Never see them but they are scratching around the attic at night, and see droppings around the kitchen.

Or poison.
Actually, Lowes has some rat and mouse traps that are baitless. They have a large yellow plastic piece for a trigger. Just place it in a path they use.
When we had new construction going on in our neighborhood I was catching field rats pretty regularly with them. I even caught a rabbit in one.
Now if you want or have a trap that requires bait, peanut butter works great.
Ya, I know waaaaay too much about this. I'll go comb my mullet and brush my tooth now.
