I have just seen in a pound shop some awesome mouse and rat traps.
They are effectively cardboard tunnels with very strong glue on the

It says on the packaging - please dispose of any caught animals
humanely!!

Certainly:
Lump Hammer? Stanley knife? or just a size ten footstep on the
complete issue?

If you must kill your mice, at least dont torture them.

Catching them live and putting them outside costs nothing.

Actually it costs great deal in terms of traps and your time, and
actually ACHIEVES nothing, since they will come straight back in, unless
your drive them far enough away (which costs more) and then their
NEIGHBOURS will move in.

As long as you trap and kill faster than they arrive, you will remain
mouse free.
