Only good mouse is a dead mouse, yes, but how to get there?
"trader-of-some-jacks" wrote in message ... As seems to be the case most winters, we have mouse droppings starting to pop up (or is it plop down?) in our basement. Some judicious mouse trap use always stops the problem. But I'm getting old and tired of the "standard" traps - baiting them, making sure to not set them off myself, emptying the gross dead mice from them, repeating... (By "standard" I'm talking about the kind seen in Looney Tunes and other cartoons - bait with cheese or peanut butter, and a piece of metal snaps onto the mouse and kills it.) What's a "better" mouse trap? By that I mean one that might kill multiple mice without rebaiting, and that's easy to clean and reuse. Not so fond of the bait traps that feed them poisoned food, as they force me to figure out where the dead critters are. I'd rather confine my looking for carcass hunting to where the trap(s) are. Tin Cat by Victor. Live catch. They work very well, and last decades, or until you run over it with the car. Don't ask. Best damn mouse trap made. Steve |

Much like water problems in basements, gotta attack the problem before it gets in. http://66.70.86.94/FetchImage.ashx?k...9V5%2b0DQ4Y%3d |
