Do they work?
Loads available online, all looking the same but varying in price; tube thing with some cute thing (someone's pet no doubt) looking around bewildered. |  |

They work if you want to capture a mouse and release it back.
They don't work if you want to eradicate mice from your house.
The little blighter will run off breed and come back with his mates. |  | | |

Quite happy to give it to a neighbour I dislike. | |

Are Human traps legal?
Maybe after we leave EU | | | |

They work, but just make sure you check it regularly or your bewildered little fellow will die a long slow death of starvation which is probably less humane then being thumped. |  |

It's actually my elderly mum who has the mice living close by.
The thing will probably get treated like a king if she catches it. | |

I once tried laying in wait holding a piece of string attached to a bucket.
I was convinced I'd caught one.
Of course I hadn't.
The end. | |

Not sure they come under "humane" but cats are fairly effective. |  |

I'd then need a bigger trap to catch the cat. | |

They work, but they're only humane if you remember to check them. My mother forgot about hers until she saw it weeks later with a decomposing mouse corpse in it. That doesn't strike me as a humane death. |  | | |

Honestly she'll probably be checking it several times per day.
As soons as she remembers who she is and what day it is.
It'll be fine.
Edit: that wasn't the family pet on the wall there was it?
Like, you left it with mum to look after while you went on holiday? [Post edited 19 Aug 2019 13:31]

we had a pest chap in as we had loads of the critters. He said you basically have to make the place mouse proof; fill gaps, plug holes with wire wool - he reckoned they could get through a gap the circumference of a biro. As someone said if you use a humane trap you have to dump them miles away or they'll be back |  | | |

They're more of an outdoor issue atm but just want to relocate a few, that's all really.
It - she seems to think it's just the one and I'm ok with going along with that for now - is just spotted hangin about a lot near the back door.
Shady looking thing, leaning up against the wall, casing the joint. | |

You could try a dog?
I don't know why, de-dum, de-dum. |  |

Haha it is not, although my father in law once looked after my wife's hamster for a weekend. It died after one night and he composted it before we got back.
Starting to think there might be some low level psychopaths in the family now though.... | | | |
