Good topic...

Ever since it started getting a bit colder out we've been getting mice. It's easy for me to get traps, including some pretty wild ones that they definetly didn't have back in your grandfathers day, because I'm a manager of the maintenance department at a hotel, and I can basically get a lot of that stuff for free (extras).
I've littered my place with traps, and have caught five in about a month's time. Infact I caught one this morning.

All I can say for tips is, keep a lot of traps set up and be patient. You can't catch them all in some cases. There will always be more everytime you think you got the last one. But you can control it at least, to a point.

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.
Maybe someday YOU'LL get trapped in a pizzabox and suffer the same fate jerk..
