I've got an excellent mouser I will lend to you. She leaves at least 3 presents per night in front of my door for me to dispose of the next morning. I'm particularly fond of the ones she rips open with their guts spilling onto the deck.

she'd have a ball here!!!! they are everywhere.... yet there is no food source inside.... however.. we have 2" gaps under all of our mandoors that they won't fix!

Best mouse trap
 
Use an empty salt pail, some string, fish line, or coat hanger to hang a pop can, fill with about 5 inches water, some peanut butter on the pop can, and a board for the mice to walk up to the edge of the pail and jump onto the pop can. You'll probably catch them all the first night, using this method.

Well, when you have a lake cabin, you learn about these things...

Mice Float, dont use just water in the bottom as they die a slow death trying to swim for hrs or days.

Toss a bit of dish soap in it to break the surface tension and they will drown rather than die of exhaustion after desporatly trying to get out.

yeah as much as i love the six line hes become a bad problem for me, i cant catch him in the tank the way it is , hes too clever, but when i set up the cube i will drain it and give him to someone else. the leopard was nice but small compared to the six line and i knew going into it he prob would be killed.....it was either in with the six line or in with the lion fish...i figured hed stand a better chance with the wrasse. i really need to set up my small cube lol:P

Have you located where he sleeps?
Mine always sleeps in the same spot and could be pulled easily after dark.

Frozen is better than empty. I had several thousand dollars stolen from a line of credit account at a small town credit union. The person called the credit union, said they were me, answered a few simple questions, and reset my password. Then they transferred money to an online money transfer place, and went on a shopping spree. You what credit union said, "Maybe you should get a loan to pay back the money." Took me almost 2 yrs and $1500 lawyers fees to get my money back, after that time it was too late to charge the little bastards too, so they got away with it even though they were "known to police".

Ya, but it doesn't seem that long. I guess the staff role came a year later, so about 10 years.
