Mice die in mouse traps because I buy the 'humane' ones then forget to check them for weeks, leading to much greater cruelty than normal ones.
I had an issue with mice a couple of years ago, and it came to blows. I am not proud to say that I committed some horrific atrocities to mouse-kind that will haunt me for the rest of my days.
That said, legends of my brutality must have spread because I haven't had a mouse issue in years.
We had an issue with mice coming inside at our old house. But we had 7 cats, so the problem was I would come into the kitchen in the morning to find blood streaks on the floor where the cats had their fun with the latest intruder. Then I had to dispose of the body. So I never had to partake in the cruelty myself, but I had to deal with its aftermath.
The mice never seemed to figure out that ours was a house of death. But we had a really cool exterminator that wouldn't try to up-sell us on stuff. He always gave us good advice on dealing with various pests. He helped us find the places where the mice were getting in the house and seal them. That's the best solution if you can do it.
Otherwise, what's the plan once you catch them?
Drive far away and release them?
Drive to Alberta and release them.
So long as it's not rats, I'm cool with it
Considering the urban sprawl here that would make it someone else's problem, not cool
