We get mice, too. Our cats are fairly useless. At the end of February, I start my seeds under lights in the basement and the mice have sometimes nibbled at my baby seedlings in the past. So a few weeks ago I began my annual mice catching event. I have six small, metal Hav-a-Heart traps which catch them but don't kill them. Every morning, I take whoever has been caught for a long walk into the woods. The benefits are: I finally get rid of them (the count is up to 30 now), I get to take a long walk in the woods, and I sometimes take my camera and get a good photo. This guy headed for a nearby tree and then stayed still long enough for me to take his picture.
