We live on the edge of a little canyon, so every year or two, we have a mouse invasion. I don't like to poison them and have little mouse carcasses rotting in the walls, so I use traps. The best so far is a live trap made by Victor. The snap traps have to be set perfectly, or you just feed the mice. Of course, then you have a live mouse to deal with. In the past, I've shot them with a pellet gun or flushed them down the toilet, but now I've begun my Mouse Relocation Program. I just put them in the big trash can that the truck picks up. That way, they can go off to the landfill where they won't hurt anything, assumed they're not smashed in the truck.
Last night, I was showing my wife that I had caught another one in a live trap, when somehow the door of the trap came open, and the mouse shot out like a furry little missile at my wife, who was sitting in her recliner. Boy, was she surprised! I think she still loves me, although I haven't had the nerve to ask.
