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.

Default 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.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

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
