rodents is to make your home inhospitable to them by locking away all
food in glass, metal, ceramic or plastic containers (mice can climb,

Live-trapping and releasing mice outdoors should be used as a last

Absolutely right!

Apart from Squirrels. Any grey squirrel that shows it face within 10
miles of here will prompt me to get a gun and shoot the thing. Saw a Red
Squirrel on the garden wall the other morning.

And plastic containers suitable for keeping rats and mice off food, no
chance they'll gnaw through it as if it wasn't there. Rats can get
through metal, given time.

Also releasing of vermin (rats, mice, squirrels) on anothers property is
illegal. You can release on your own but they will be back in before you
are. BTDTGTTS.
