Can I just say I had a humourous mental image when you said you "battled" mice constantly?

I recall a Stewe Irwin show about how a farm can have literally bucketloads of mice going on at night.

I have found that traditional mousetraps should be weighted, nailed down or tied to something because a certain percentage of mice aren't killed. Instead they get caught on some other part of their body and drag the trap away and then they die and stink until you find them behind the wash machine or something months later.

If the trap went missing, wouldn't you be looking for it anyway?

Mouse plagues in Australia can go beyond a few bucketloads;

What I can't decide is which is more disturbing: the enormous pile of mice or that the whole family is posing in front of it.
