I hear/read you James. That is a valid point. But the main point is asking suggestions for a way to get rid of mice. I vote call up an exterminator company that uses humane methods. They are out there. They use organic, non-toxic materials for carpenter ants and termites…etc. Since they are license, I assume they are legit. They also ensure the area is free of disease.
Regarding your great point about people will still use glue traps. Until we become more civilized in how we treat other specie, I recommend supporting PETA, and ALF (Animal Liberation Front), as I do from time to time. The both have different approaches, but I applaud them for the huge accomplishments in tzar balei chaim.
