Why not use mouse poison bait on a mouse trap?


Because the mouse eats the poison, has time to run behind the stove or under
the sink or behind the refrigerator, then dies.

And starts ripening. Then the second one and the third one and the fourth
one come along ...............


I know someone who couldn't use the kitchen because of a dead rat
SOMEWHERE in the walls.

Heeeeeere'e yer sign.

I use Tin Cats.

A metal trap that does not kill, needs no bait to speak of, last forever,
and, if you're a Liberal humanitarian, you just take them over to your
brother-in-law's house and set them free. Or, if you're an evil Republican,
you toss the trap into a bucket of water and let soak for five minutes. Tin
Cats are made by Victor, the people who make mouse traps, and are available
at most hardware stores for $15 or so.
