Mice in Yard House

Thanks, Jill, for pointing out the cruelty of glue traps. It's very tempting to make funny little jokes about killing tiny creatures, and it makes everyone feel better (if everyone acts as if it's no big deal, then that makes it okay, right?).
That being said, I also know that it is beyond extremely unpleasant to have an infestation of any kind in your home, so I sympathize with the impulse to just get rid of the damn things already. But I try never to forget that having consideration for the least of our fellow creatures is good for our humanity. It doesn't always work for me, I'll be the first to admit, but that doesn't make it untrue.
