Rat Zapper to the rescue! About $25 and up
And the various copies, as well.
The rat zapper has an optional "rat tale" indicator with a 12 ft cord so
you can stuff the zapper in amongst the "stuff" and out of sight, and
still know when it's been tripped. They either kill immediately, or not
at all. No cripples, no mess (unless
you leave it long enough for decomposition to begin).
Rat Zapper http://www.ratzapper.org/ Available from amazon, ebay, several
other places including some Ace Hardware and some farm supply stores.
About $40 and up depending on where you buy it. Options include a "rat
tale" remote trip indicator. Do be sure to check for dead mouse in the
box every day or two.
Decomposing mouse makes a mess inside, and is really difficult to clean
up. some folks use peanut butter as bait. I use a couple of m&m candies,
less mess when baiting than peanut butter. Both seem to work.
I've had better luck with the Rat Zapper Classic than with the Ultra.
The Ultra quit working after a few months.
The Classic worked better for me than any of the others I have tried.
The Ultra died after only a few months, and the Hoont and the Victor
worked a couple of times, but don't always kill the mice. The indicators
were flashing, and the bait
was gone, but the wee mousie was gone, too. Sometimes the indicator
wasn't blinking, and the bait was gone.
