 There is a third wee one and mama to catch... Seriously though, I need a humane way to extinguish their little tiny hearts from beating... |

Why kill them? Just let them loose in a field or somewhere else. If you are actually looking for a suggestion.
I have no problem with traps etc, but if you caught some alive why kill them? I had a rodent issue so I set traps. I noticed over time that the casualties were getting older and eventually young pups that were being forced to fend for themselves. I finally had a tiny one about the size of a quarter caught by its tail in a trap. The poor thing was trying to drag the trap with it. I took pitty on it and put it in a old fish tank with some dog food and water. Over time it became somewhat tame and it lived for over three years. I am sure the Arfcom view is to take a sledge hammer to them or light them on fire. Maybe you could crush them in your bare hands. It will make you feel real tough. |

A big deal like dropping off captured mice when you leave your home? Life must be really uneventful for you. Plus it is more than one mouse. I prefer the term mouses...many who would call me out for that would say mice. Quoted:

I'm not a mouse though. I'm not going to share my living space with them. I live in the country, and as soon as it gets cold, they try to move in. Mouse droppings everywhere, etc. Can I send them to live in your house? What the cat and traps don't kill, I do with my foot. |

If you can't find a place out in the country to release them then either shoot them with a .22 rat shot round or get something big, wide, and heavy and smash them. If you go with smashing make sure you get something really heavy that will actually flatten the cranium in an instant. Of course a 12 gauge with bird shot would be what I'd use because that's what I have ready and available.

Quoted:
Find someone with a snake? Most snake keepers will not use wild caught prey items due to the risk of disease and parasites. Whether you like snakes or not, it must be acknowledged that some of the more exotic pythons(both color morphs of common snakes and rare species) sell for several thousand dollars. Extreme example-the rough scaled python at Reptile Gardens in SD. One of less than twenty to ever be captured, and the only one in the world to be outside of Australia. Imagine the price asked if a specimen legally entered the pet trade. Less extreme is the albino ball python-When I was keeping snakes in 2000, they were selling for as much as $7500 from Bob Clark. Now they're more like $1000. Still an expensive pet to risk disease to save spending $1.75 on a mouse to feed it. |

Do pet snakes not have a good immunity system? Not trying to be a smart ass, just actually curious.  I thought I read somewhere that crocodiles immune systems could kill HIV. |

Quoted: where there are 3 there are billions eject and nuke from orbit When we finally got mouse traps in via the mail system into my COP in the 'stan, I personally killed about 40 mice nonstop over the course of a couple days. They ceased to be a problem after that. Until we got complacent and removed the traps....a month or two later...many more mice. I could bait 4 traps, leave for guard duty and they would all be sprung when I got back 1 hour later. Hell one was set off about 20 seconds after I placed it, I just sat down and heard it snap shut. |

Honestly man the car exhaust thing is your best bet if you don't want to feel like you are 'shooting fish in a barrel'. Shooting with ratshot is cool and all, but not particularly sporting if they are stuck in a box. IMHO it takes all the excitement out of the 'hunt'.
