    They do work but all you are doing is passing on the problem.
    my reason for feeling that mice in a house should be distroyed is that some carry a virus called HPS (Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome)
    HPS was identified in 1993, means of infection is by breathing in the small particles from urine & droppings.

    don't forget the rubber gloves & protective mask if you catch it.
    I guess soggy bread will do, I never tried it like that.
    post a picture if you do get it, would be nice to see

    The trouble with poison is that the rodent will die somewhere in your house that is usually not accessible and decompose. Traps are the best method but you will be wasting your time if you put them in the wrong place.
    They need to be against a wall on the rodents travel path.
    Unless the rodent entered through an open door you will also need to go around your house and fill in any holes that could be an entry point. These can be very small as a full grown mouse can squeeze though a hole about the same size as the girth of a finger (which one depends on the size of your fingers)
    Also they breed at an alarming rate, so a lone female left could turn into a huge problem

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
