re-use traps.



Why is that? Can they smell their dead brethren?


I believe so......but that may have been rats. I started putting plastic
gloves on to set traps, just in case I was dealing with a master mouse )
It is also an issue of touching whatever disease producing organisms
the previous mouse may have carried. My daughter cried the first
time we trapped a mouse - she was very young, and always an
animal lover. I have respect for all kinds of critters, until they
poop in my kitchen )
