We have mice in the house. Pretty soon, I'm going to give up on the humane traps that catch them alive, as said traps have failed to catch even a single mouse. Glue traps are the next step

No, mice are totally not smarter than that. Not even domesticated mice which should _know_ about things like water bowls by now. We had mice when I was a kid and I think I fished about three of them out of their tiny bowls before we gave up and got my brother a dog instead.

We use peanut butter in the traps. Do you know where the are nesting or spending much of their time? That's ususally the best place for the traps.

D manages this and will have some advice.

Oh, we *have* PB in the traps. We're contemplating putting Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in there. They liked those around Halloween time.

I like the traditional traps. The "humane" traps simply mean that they will come back, unless you take them somewhere else. Then you've taken then on vacation. I don't like the glue traps - *that* seems a bit cruel. I like the snap-traps. Quick and decisive in most cases. We got these black box-like D-Con traps from the supermarket; the're reusable. The lever that sets the trap is outside the box, the snap-bar is inside, so just pull on the lever again to lift the bar, shake out the finished product, and reset. With two of these, I think we've caught well over a dozen.

If they would be kind enough to get caught by the humane traps, I would take them in a jar with holes in the lid to work to a coworker who wants them. I think that's far enough away, don't you?

Have you tried glue traps with toy motorcycles?

*dies dead*

Seriously, if the glue doesn't get them, they'll get on the motorcycles, and they will go far, far away.

Problem solved!

Those damn mice nibbled on my pencil erasers!

THERE ARE NIBBLE MARKS ON MY ERASERS, DAMN IT.

I hope they DIE from RUBBER ERASER POISONING.

Damn mice.

Oh, I know how you can get rid of them! Get some buffalos to stomp on them!!!!!

"One hundred twenty eight buffalos, man that's enough of those!"

O:-)
