lesson learned evicted about 60 mice over a few weeks.


live trap and release is the better way............


You didn't catch and release 60 mice. You caught and released the same five
mice a dozen times.


nope they were all different mice, they had no way back in.

my belief, open garage door one pregnant female mouse wanders in, i
have seen them sneak in with garage door open, back to when i was a
kid.

one female mouse finds plentiful supply of sunflower seeds, the ideal
mouse food. she is pregnant and exponential multiplication
begins......

the live trap worked fine emptied at least twice a day. some obvious
oldtimers heavily grey died probably from fear.

the rest were released without incident..........

why kill anything unnecessarily?
