[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 166640"] I wouldn't do Decon just because it's such a horrible death. When I was little we had a couple of mice and we used the snap traps. I do seem to remember that it didn't kill one, just trapped it and injured it badly. *shudder* It did get the others, however. Use peanut butter as bait. You could do live traps...not sticky traps. You just have to be sure to take it [B]at least[/B] 5 miles away to release it or it will find it's way back. The most important thing is to do something now while you only have one. It won't be long before you have many and then you'll have a big problem. They multiply faster than rabbits. It only takes an opening of like 1/2 an inch for them to get in. So make sure everything is sealed up...screen over the dryer vent, etc. If they want to get in, though, they'll find a way. I'm glad I have my kitties. At least then I feel like it's nature taking it's course. [/QUOTE]
