WHAT TO DO? (I'm single.) I didn't know how to kill the poor things myself. My only conclusion was finally that I should let the mice out of the traps, in the backyard. The next day, sure enough, they revisited the traps and were properly caught and killed. After that I went back to shakily checking my traps each day.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I was told that for large entry holes you can stuff them with steel wool and it will keep the mice out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-9152348560310145232007-10-10T04:32:00.000-07:002007-10-10T04:32:00.000-07:00When we lived in rural Colorado, the mice were a b...When we lived in rural Colorado, the mice were a big problem! I remember them avoiding the traps no matter what food I had placed in there to entice them! Finally had to resort to poison which I hate since you don't know where they're going to drop dead at. Sure enough, one died in the floor register vent somewhere and for 2 weeks we had the lovely aroma of decayed mouse as warm air blew over it ingulfing the house.
