^^^^ Brilliant. I'm going to make a few for the garage. I never liked using poison and now that we have a cat I certainly won't. Thanks!

Some of you might find this funny. I do not. The mouse has pooped on my trap. Not figuratively, but literally. Then a black bear walked right through my camp at 9:30am. These animals out in Sun Valley think they own the place. I'm moving to a kill trap and a shotgun.

The deed is done. I'm not proud of it and I wish I hadn't seen the little legs twitching (it was like a Tarantino film) but I had to think about my van and those wires under the dash. Plus, he shouldn't have taunted me when I put out the no-kill trap. I guess I just snapped. (Honestly, no pun intended. This is nothing to joke about.)

That photo right there shows the best kind of mice...... Dead mice. ^^^

He was uninvited, he was trespassing, he was damaging private property! He would listen to reason or warnings....... Life happens.

Once you catch him in that nice humane trap the cat gets him. Its natural.
