Apparently we have the most intelligent mice in the world, IQs ranging in the 180's, because I can't catch the stinkin' things. At first I tried the old tried and true snap traps. You put PB on them (or cheese) and they are suppose to get snapped, right? Not the ones I raise in my house. They lick those traps cleaner than I get my dishes. Well, since those weren't working, I went to Walmart and stocked up on the sticky traps. Keep in mind that I am a complete neat freak and I have to disinfect ...
