My pool pump has one built into the cord in addition to the outlet it is plugged into.
Too funny about the traps. I do reuse the wood ones but I know that some people don't even do that. Do those sticky ones really work all that well? I have some elusive mice in my soap workshop and they need to leave and I won't use poison because of my cat and the neighbor's cats.

Yeh @babsbag they really work, especially with a peanut or sunflower seed or 2 in the middle of the glue. Once they get on it, it is rare for them to get away. Having cats tho, we don't use them....because it is a royal pain getting them off of it and the glue out of their fur. The big ones for rats will kill a cat, too.

The glue traps are inhumane unless you get to the rodent soon after it gets stuck and dispatch it. Better to put out snap traps where the cats can't get to them. Instadeath when setup properly such that they have to go over the end with the trigger on it to get to the bait.

I've always had really good luck with snap traps either with nothing on them next to my feed bins or with a little peanut butter on the trap.

I know this may upset some, but when it comes to rodents the method of dispatch doesn't ever cross my mind....just that they are ne'er to return. I feel by them like others feel about snakes....the only good one is a dead one....irregardless of How it got there. I'm not going to purpisely torture it, but it is what it is. I've taken them out quick too, by stomping them with my foot.

ya gotta do what ya gotta do... any mouse/rat means more and with their excrement around (feed,water etc) it could cause illness to you, your pet or your livestock. Like country boy said as long as it gets taken care of I don't care which method is used but I try to do it as humanely as possible.

Bruce, Just use no more than 8 traps and you will be fine.......
Oh my gosh..how can you be that way? The poor cute, defenseless little things, scrounging around just trying to survive in hostile world and it's not like they would ever carry an invading army of plague infested fleas to kill 100 million people, or shed Hanta virus in their urine or feces. They're just innocent victims of circumstances/old wive's tales and deserve the same fair and just treatment a red tail hawk shows them, as he totally ignores them while they playfully cavort in the fields below.
