Thanks for the comparison -- it really helps show the differences. My only quibble --it would help to have an actual paperback in the pictures as a control. The article and pictures nicely demonstrate the difference between the two devices, and now I'd like to see how big that difference is when compared to a paper book.

With an ADD husband and two kids, the mess can get cataclysmic. I couldn't train them (well, the kids have some hope of improvement, but not much), and we can't afford a cleaner, so I got rid of tons of stuff. Tons. While our rooms are now nearly spartan, we all appreciate the serenity of a living space that is quick and easy to clean, and mercifully free of clutter.

As a major, major soft touch and bleeding heart, I used live traps and transported the mice to a popular hunting spot far from residences.

Problem was, I'd release the mice and at least some of them would run under the tires of the car as I drove away. Kind of defeated the purpose, as well as being environmentally unsound.

Also, if more than one mouse was in the trap at a time, they would eat each other.

Now I use snap traps.
