I don’t know about you but I get hav-a-heart traps bait with peanut butter and let them go outside. Why do you need to kill them? We had quite a few at one time because the cat brought them in alive through the cat door. Two hav-a-heart traps and we had them all gone in a week or so & they didn’t come back.

Check the video. I tried the live trap and he positively refused to go inside far enough to spring it. As I noted in the narration, I would have been happy to catch him and release him, but he wouldn't have it that way, so it was total war. Cute as the bastard was, he was a filthy rodent, and there was no alternative to getting him out of my house in any way I could!

I’m glad you tried. The video would be too much for me. I always root for the undermouse : )
Our cat brought in everything, never hurt anything, just dropped them in the house and yowled to be congratulated.
Chipmunks, a baby rabbit, a hummingbird, blue jays, sparrows, mice. Even a snake in my kitchen once. That went outside on a shovel.
