Mice: although they can make adorable pets, they are also one of the last critters you want running around in your home.
They can destroy your equipment, wreak havoc on wiring and will taint your food supplies, as well. On top of all that, mice can carry a multitude of diseases, as well as fleas, which can carry diseases of their own (Bubonic Plague, anyone?)
If you think you may have a mouse problem, it's best to deal with the issue immediately, before even more mice show up to the party. For many people, this part may give pause.
After all, the one sure way to remove mice from the equation is to trap them, and most traps aren't very kind to mice.
For a trap that is both non-lethal and humane, you need only look at some random junk you have lying around your house. Learn more about this highly effective mouse trap on the video on the next page.

I have an effective mouse trap. It’s called a cat. Mice,in a homesteading situation is such more than just a nuisance. They can get in animal feed, people feed, destroy electrical wires, breathing their dried droppings (such as in heater vents) can cause breathing and health problems.
If you have the luxury of trying humane and non lethal measures, great. Me? I’ll keep my ranch cats.
Cool. Saves me 7 bucks each to feed my snake.

Your killing a rodent who gives a crap about humane or non lethal
Hmmm. Mouse stew!
Matt Nichols Coty Thompson here y’all go
Trap then shot with .22 throw in trash
Or dump them in a bucket of water and watch them drown! Lol
That’s far too inhumane. That would really upset them being trapped in that plastic contraption. You are supposed to leave a polite note telling them that they might not be welcome in your home and if they wouldn’t mind too awful much, maybe go to the neighbors house……….. Well, I will say just one thing – if the SHTF and you are trying to protect your supplies from those destructive, disease ridden vermin you will probably blast them with a shotgun.
