wrote this:- It is not humane to leave them stuck to the trap for hours/days. Better than having them walking around! I didn't say it was better to leave them walking around. A 'snap' trap is better cos it stands a better chance of killing the beggars straight away! It will kill them more quickly, but often not straight away. Mice in particular tend to just get their snout caught by one and then presumably they die of the pain. -- David Hansen, Edinburgh I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents me http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/00023--e.htm#54 |

I've only seen one (two actually, babies in the same trap - it must be unusual) which had been caught by the snout. All others have died of a headache. Mary |

No I've gone more rural - I thinkI need to get one of those catflaps with a camera which only allows the cat in if she's not holding baggage. It's only been two - no hang on three including the live one. But the big cat jumped on that and took it out for me. -- http://www.orderonlinepickupinstore.co.uk Ah fetch it yourself if you can't wait for delivery http://www.freedeliveryuk.co.uk Or get it delivered for free |

Perhaps ours aren't as nervous... or more hungry ... or it might be that we leave a baited but 'flat' trap around and not until the bait is taken do we then bait a set trap. By that time they're used to taking bait without hesitation. Mary |

Well if you have gone rural, you had better get used to the site of dismembered cotrses left by your inhuman(e) neighbours littering the place. And if you take the myxy rabbit to the vets to be put down, instead of a big stick to thwack him behind the ears, you are in for a big load of mazuma. It's only been two - no hang on three including the live one. But the big cat jumped on that and took it out for me. Usually they let them go, and you discover their dessicated corpses under the kitchen units in few years time. The smell fades reasonably fast. |

Good, so it will teach them not to come into my house! |

Give me a normal mouse trap with the quick-snap action, works instantly. My son tried the trick of letting a mouse go outside, only to stay and watch it merrily run all the way back in again. I think the best thing for the detection and erradication of mice is a West Highland White Terrier. It tells you when you have a problem, finds the said mouse, catches it, solves the problem. |

Catching them live and putting them outside costs nothing. - and your advice for rats? This is my first visit to this site and this thread caught my attention. I had a problem with mice in the house and tried one of those glue strips. It was horrible. It caught the mouse, that bit was ok, but as the mouse struggled it got more and more stuck to the strip until the poor thing was gruesomely contorted - then I had to do the deed of putting it out of its misery. I hated it! Just the job - does anyone know where you get them from? |
