Reply #45: Yes, but I found them to serve a good purpose once. [View All]

The apt. building we were in had mice. The manager kept saying it was impossible; maintenance would surely know. After the fourth or fifth complaint, I broke out the glue traps my wife had bought.

Next morning a mouse got stuck in it--it wasn't there when we woke up. I took the trap/mouse to the manager's office. The mouse was screaming hideously. I put the trap her desk and said, "There are mice in the building." She stared at it in horror--it was probably the first time she'd been that close to a mouse--then she moved away from it, struggling to find something to do with the muffin she had been eating. She said she'd tell maintenance about it.

I took the mouse home and put it in the freezer. It was unconscious within minutes, and dead soon thereafter.

My toddler (at the time) thought it all very fascinating.
