Does anyone know of the ideal mouse trap? The mice in our kitchen are so
brazen as to run around during the day! We have tried the usual wooden trap
but none have taken the bait. We would get a cat, but these creatures are
more trouble than the mice. Poison is no good because he mice die and smell
in inaccessible places.

Does anyone know of the ideal mouse trap?

Since this is a botany group, I wonder if you are serious. However, from my
experience, there is no substitute for a cat. It is unfortunate that you do not
like them. For people who do, they are lovely pets.
Meanwhile, keep your cupboards tightly closed, & seal all food packages. Make
sure your kitchen is scrupulously clean, and that nobody is taking food into
other parts of the house.
There are dogs that chase mice, but in our house the dogs always ignore the
mice & leave them to the cat, who is extremely efficient.

My wife found a new type of trap at the supermarket. It is a small
thin plastic tray filled with a type of very sticky glue. Place these
along the walls and the kick panels of the kitchen cabinets where the
mice travel.. The two mice that came in out of the cold were trapped
in two days.

So far these mice are not falling on to the traps in spite of all sorts of
enticing baits. We might go for the cat after all.

Go to San Francisco and get a marriage license for you and the mouse. Then if
the little ******* keeps running around, sue him for adultery.
