Those catch a lot of mice. Some brilliant individual thought it was a good idea to make the plat i coating on wiring, out of soybean and peanut oil which helps attract rodent damage.

How do you dispose of the mice? *

Stuck with a live trap, I then drowned a few in the sink.

I put the whole stupid metal cage in the sink, weighed it down and flooded it.

As a teenager I caught a mouse in a bucket and best option we came up with was to move it to a bag, place it under a car tire and run it over.
I’ve done this as well

using the sticky feet traps. I slide a shovel underneath the pad and take it down to the field across from the driveway. Usually a hawk, owl or crow will find it. Circle of life.

I’ve heard that’s much too close. *
