I always went for the snap trap with peanut butter unless they were in other parts of the house than the kitchen. One year I caught 7 in a week in a kitchen drawer - that was a big year - we couldn't use our kitchen for about a month while the killing spree went on. I would love to see a mouse walk slowly to a tree; the ones I caught and released via a shoebox ran like the dickens - as they should have. Their brethren were not so lucky.

I find it entertaining to see what mice do when they are released. Usually they leap out of the trap and into the bushes. Once I released two in a forest where there was no ground cover. They slowly walked over to a tree and climbed up the tree. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Emily Reyn <emilymae.reyn@...> wrote: > > Get a cat.  Mine has been on a killing spree recently, 2 large mice, one > baby mouse, and a baby bird, which he deposits in  my backyard.  Oh oh, > he's after another mouse now.  Should I rescue it?  The cat is having so > much fun.  He must have found the nest.  I should put a bell on his neck.  > > > ________________________________ > From: Xenophaneros Anartaxius <anartaxius@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Friday, October 5, 2012 10:57 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Memorandum 1: Smoothing things out > > >  > Rather curious, Richard J.
