Free DIY mousetrap that works! i know cuz we caught our mouse with it this morning!

17. I have 6 cats.

I guess that's not enough. LOL I've caught SIXTEEN baby mice over the past 2 weeks. I use a humane trap and take them over to the far edge of the park a couple of blocks away and send them off with some bread crumbs to fend for themselves in the wild. I figure they probably get eaten by hawks or crows or something, but at least their deaths serve a purpose that way, instead of just going to the garbage dump--and I didn't actually kill them (just can't do it).

As for these 6 cats, they'll sit in the kitchen and watch the area where the mice are hanging out, like "Hey mom! There's a mouse in there!," but that's all my lazy cats ever do about it.

I just wish I could figure out where the little frakkers are getting in! I've scoured the kitchen and have patched up even the most teeny-tiny holes I can find, including using a mirror and flashlight to look underneath the edge of my cabinets, but they are STILL getting in. I am also concerned about momma mouse, since these all appear to be babies. It's about to make me nuts, because they are getting in my stove, so it has to mostly be set up as a mouse trap right now. I'm getting tired of microwaving almost everything I eat.
