Mice in the house - humane trap, surely just moves the problem to somewhere else?

[Slartybartfast]

Why?
Can''t people poison them?

what is the reason behind a humane trap,?
you move them to become someone else's problem.
would they survive in the wild?

Hmm. We had a mouse in our old house. Humane trap, baited with peanut butter caught it. I let it go outside. Next night, another mouse. DD wondered if it was the same one, so I walked 200m up the road and let it go.

Couple of nights later, another mouse.Hmm. Painted a spot of nail varnish on its tail, took it up the road again...guess what, yep, same mouse came back.

This went on for a week or so, until eventually the MuttDog, probably disappointed with how pathetic her humans were being, caught it in the kitchen, went outside, jumped the fence and ran off with it, coming back empty handed mouthed. I think she probably ate it, but we told DD she'd taken it back to its house...

It never came back.

NaH. Snap traps everytime and plugging every hole with wire wool and polyfiller

A mouse is unlikely; where there's one there's bound to be more and they breed at a terrifying rate 😳
I use traditional traps baited with melted chocolate or peanut butter.
Quick, cheap, effective.

traditional traps then , I think you might have convinced me

Because it can take ages for poison to kill a rat or mouse and i would not wish that on anything.
I also would never want another animal ( potential another persons pet) to eat the poisoned rat/mouse

Little Nipper traps - despatch them fast.
