If it's any consolation, my house is normally rodent-free but at this time
of year we
get a few little "visitors".
So the RAT trap is set and makes a nice indent on the mice dispatched by it.

I'd clearly like to devise some sort of humane mice-excluder device that
lures them
to (say) the soffit area and then gives them a choice of one direction down
a
pipe and out of the house. Something with quite a few one-way ratchets so
that
once excluded there is no easy return.
I'm getting tired of emptying the traps too.
