I set up a mouse trap in the garage and have caught several mice

After several peaceful months, I found the trap tripped again and the
peanut butter all gone, but there is no mouse to be found anywhere. How
is this possible?


This is the trap I use:

Eggsactly. Me, I just set out live traps and relocate them. They have a
right to live like any of us, or else God wouldn't have put them here..

Glad to hear it ME TOO!

Dont keep food around your basement or garage!

I got into feeding birds and squirrels To save oney bought 50 pound
sack of sunflower seeds.

Kept seeds in basement Was over run with mice, relocated 36 mice.


Never, ever have I kept food, seeds, anything edible (insulation
doesn't
count!) in my basement or my detached garage. The little vermin
overrun both
anyway, since those are the only two places the cats don't go since
neither are
accessible from inside the house. I have no problem with live and let
live,
but that stops at the foundation of my house. You come in uninvited,
you get
what you get.

That's the rule at our house, too. You can get some nasty stuff from mice,
and having anything that they can eat or nest in invites problems.
