I'm a MURDERER. I have this mouse issue in my attic and as much as I hate to see those cute critters die, they're in my house and I can't let them multiply up there and potentially cause damage. So I set traps. They're so cute though, with their whiskers and little nose. It's one thing to dispose of one that is already dead from the trap, but I caught one just now and it was by the leg so it was perfectly fine and still alive and struggling and looking at me with eyes begging for mercy.
Almost felt like just releasing it but it's only going to come back and eventually die anyway. Wish I had a way to put a GPS tracker on it though so I can figure out how they're getting in. Dropped it in a plastic bag, wacked it against the basement floor a bunch of times to knock it out (and probably instantly kill I hope) then I stomped on the bag to ensure the deed is done. Was quick and painless at least. I was going to drown it but I prefer something more quick.
I don't get where they're coming in from. I would much rather prevent them from coming in first place. This is the 3rd one this year too.
Cliffs:
Squirrel: 1
Mouse: 0
