I deal better w/ well-fed live mice than squished dead ones, so I invested in a $20 Hav-a-Heart trap, baited w/ chocolate & peanut butter. The bait lasts well & gives the mouse a nice meal before I boot him/her out. I used to be tempted to dump the mice by my ex-husband's apartment complex, but resisted the impulse. I opted for the town park several blocks from my home & hope for the best for both me & the mice.
