I've had a slight problem with mice in my house here in Erin Woods. Must've killed atleast a dozen or so of them in the past 3-4 years. At first we used the good ol' trap with cheddar cheese, would usually catch them in a few hours, or a day or 2 tops. I'd just put on a glove and throw the whole damned thing out in the garbage (trap and mouse).

We got a cat awhile ago, and she's caught a few of them. Won't kill them but she'll play with it until the mouse is brutally injured, and can't really move a whole lot. I didn't realize how fast cats were until we got ours. My god, mice seriously don't stand a chance against a cat that's out for blood lol. If she knows an area where a mouse might be, she'll camp that sucker for aslong as it takes for the mouse to come out.

I once trapped a mouse in a pizza box I had laying on the ground from the previous night. Instead of taking the box and throwing it out, I just stomped on the POS. No mouse gets away alive in my house.
