Found out tonight that I have at least one mouse in my house. Ran out to the store and they had 1 lethal trap left and a ton of non-lethal traps. Bought the one lethal trap and two of the non-lethal ones along with some poison.
I never thought the non-lethal ones would work, I only set them up because I didn't want to rely on only one trap, but apparently they do as I already caught one mouse.
My problem now is what to do with the mouse. Not having a heart of gold, I want to kill the thing so it doesn't come back into the house. I do feel a tinge of guilt when I think about just leaving it in the trap until it starves or dehydrates.
I thought of using a chemical spray to kill it, but I get the feeling that other mice would probably avoid the trap in the future. I also thought about trying to get some of the poison pellets into the trap, but can't think of a good way without also giving the mouse a good chance to escape.
Any advice on how to kill the damned thing?
