I'm not Buddhist, are you?
When I was about six or seven, Dad found a mouse nest in the hall closet under the stairs. He got the coal shovel from the hearth in the kitchen and scooped up all of the little pink mices babies, took them out along the old carriage lane behind the house, dumped then out on the hard dirt, and pounded them to pulp. All of us kids were shocked and appalled but, life's lesson learned on how to treat vermin.
Ask a person who has a pet snake what they feed them.
Two reasons I don't bother with Victor...1. I've only caught one mouse with them so far. Glue traps have caught several dozen. 2. A Victor will only catch one mouse at a time, when they do work. I've caught as many as four mice with one glue trap. It appears mom, dad and the kids were all trying to move in. Well, they didn't make it past the glue trap.
