We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember saying
something like:

The traps (I have four) just do not seem to be sensitive
enough...though they worked on two.

How many mice should I expect in a "nest" ????

I've tried the super-dooper modern plastic traps with some success, but
for consistency I've found the traditional wooden jobs pretty good. The
trick is the right bait (I use a sliver of dog chewy treat) and getting
the release just right.

It's effective. Got about a dozen of them in the past month. No more for
the past week and no sign of them, so I reckon I've accounted for this
lot anway.
