I understand mouse-in-the-house problems all too well (I used to live in the "woods"). The full dish of ferret food was always an attraction, but I am loathe to harm any little fuzzy thing. I found a product called a "TIN CAT" (I'm allergic to REAL cats, by the way). This was a tin box with a one-way spring-loaded ramp/door ( very loose spring- did not "snap" like a trap). The body weight of the mouse depressed the spring as it entered the trap to get the bait & once the mouse was inside & off the "ramp", it closed the entry. You checked the box (at least once daily) & if you felt "somebody" inside it was off to the wilderness to empty. The top of the box was hinged, so get the gloves, open the lid, & away went your univited house guest(s). A little time-consuming but worth it in my opinion. I do NOT know where to find this product; I would suggest a web search. Perhaps if anyone finds it they can do a post. Sign me, "Way too Softhearted" P.S. - You can "unstick" a mouse from a glue trap with alcohol (99% works best & is available for less than $1 a bottle in the rubbing alcohol section of the drugstore). Pour a little on his feet, wait for glue to dissolve, & gently remove him from trap. [Posted in FML issue 4025]
