Hey Jukebox —

Lord knows we tried the catch and release traps in San Diego and the mice laughed at us. They’d get activated and no mice inside.

The snap traps kill instantly but we found that the mice could take the bait and run with it.

Regrettably, the glue traps have been the most successful. What we do when we catch one is to kill the mice once they are caught. Yes, they suffer, but the prospect of these mice alive, and having the run of the house, with their specific hygienic impact, is unacceptable.

If the little pricks would leave my house alone, I would not be a mouse murderer. For the time being, I gotta do what I gotta do.
