seems like the only way to rid the mice fall into these territories.

1 there is the sissy-I mean HUMANE way, this involves about a million and a half ways to secure the lil bastards, and priss away to a 'safe location. problem is for those of Us who live in the REAL WORLD, have neither the time nor the patience for this method. If you you do have the time, good for you. don't waste ours.

2 cats. yeah, cats SOMETIMES work. depends on the cat and the mouse. (tom and jerry lol) If you don't have one, or one that works, then you should go for the traps. (what choice do you have?) I have a cat that looks like mousy death on 4 paws, a narrow skull for those 'hard to bite places' radar ears for squek'o'location, and I never even see him coming if he's in a mood. (which he has yet to leave). I got a mouse problem now, and I still have the rotten cat! verdict? cats aren't surefire success. Maybe they do have to get taught? I don't know. thats an episode of mythbusters youll never see!(interestingly, chickens no longer 'brood' having their eggs taken from them soo early in their lives on massive egg farms. weird right?)

3 Poisons. like all the methods mentioned by evryone before me, they SOMETIMES work. depends on the mouse you know? there are a lot of kinds of mice, and some mice can probably take the punch. I'd recomend this before the cat. unlike pets which you invite into your hous, and are PETS, mice are VERMIN, PESTS, THEY BELONG IN THE WILD, you know, where WILD ANIMALS LIVE? IN THE WILD? If you odopt a pet, you Owe it, you chose the responsibility. not so with VERMIN! the poisons not a great choice, they MIGHT die in the walls and stink, I could quote about 40 of you for that little tidbit, because its TRUE. but thats only a possibility, and depends on the financial situation. which is cheaper? 5$ mouse trap? or 500$ drywall?

4Mouse trap yes, glue is gross, but it works. its painfull, but I'm only humane to human beings. (they don't breed soo quickly, or carry soo many DISEASES! they don't devour MASSIVE quantities of foodstuffs, necesary to support an ecosystem of Human Beings! or the human animal, if you prefer =P) I don't like these, ( I torture myself with the internet, I don't need to torture mice) but they work, and THATS the point. kill em off quickly if you can, but whatever works, gos!

5 SNap MOusetrap.
AHHH!! my FAVORITE! Snap, and your done, with minimal horror stories, if you BUY THE RIGHT KIND! Yes, You will have to kill the mouse, boo hoo, soo sad! better to kill a mouse than KILL YOUR CHILDREN THROUGH YOUR APATHY! or pet, or relative, insert whatever a mouse disease sufferable creature you want. they are humane, Mice and rats are a plague! C'mon people! the balck plague? killed 2/3s of Europe? I dislike the french, but this is rediculous!
If You take the time and money to by a decent mouse snap trap, they will not suffer. I hate the old balsawood style with the spring, go plastic! If human beings are willing to kill our own off, why the hell should we care for these PESTS? I have a responsibility to my fellow man, not to let my disease infest my neighbors! Verdict? SNAP TRAPS RULE.

and finally, the electronics. never used em, but consider this if you live in the south, or anywhere with Snakes, the rattling mice plug in attracts copperheads. I know, because a tried those as a deterent, and I wnt to the laundry room to find one in my dryer. yep, they climb through the exhause valve. I don't know why the rattle attracts snakes, and I don't much care. Id rather deal with mice than snakes.

the final verdict? for those few of us with common sense, is pretty clear. USE YER BRAIN! if something doesn't work, try another method! attempt not to be a psychopath by not torturing them, but don't be a sissy! if one of them is stuck to a glue trap, don't call for mommy and hide uner your pillow! Put the poor bastard out of his misery!

A mans house is his castle, (or cave, for the more primal of you) so man up and prepare for battle! its siege time.
