Please don't kill me Sir!  I've got a wife and 112 kids waiting for me in the rafters...

 
They say it's the second mouse that gets the cheese...  We'll see about that!

...and/or free sexy time.

Hershel was trapped and relocated to the California coast, IIRC he returned to the Ballard Locks a day or two after his relocation transportation.
Them pesky mices will also be back!
Some time after my ancestors tired of hunting and gathering they took to farming.
If your winter survival depended on the fall harvest you had stored, chances are you would be a tad less "tolerant" of rodents soiling and spoiling said harvest.
They "foul" way more than they eat, as evidently Dave has discovered.
If you have a hard time placing the "sticky" in the bucket I can send over the Terminator to give you a hand.

He was the one that held to "the old ways" when the rest of the clan went to farming...
They are vermin, treat them as such.

Fortunately I don't have a grain silo in my apartment.

Once a mouse chews thru electrical wiring...or wiring behind the dashboard in your car...chews valuable paper/cloth items.....not to mention transmitting diseases like somenella....
....or...go watch what happens in a slaughter house...

The death of a mouse ought to be less "troublsome".

Yeah ...dead, poisened mice in the walls can be undesirable.
The "old reliable" traps are inexpensive, work well and can be reused or just pitched.

Yeah they can be problematic little arseholes and need to be dealt with harshly if they start getting out of hand.
 
Just sayin' there are ways to deal with them that aren't quite as brutal before it gets to that point.
 
Ounce of prevention and all that. I just prefer not to hurt things (especially mammals) if I don't have to.
