If you have a mouse or mice roaming around the garage or attic of your house or apartment it can be a little unnerving. No one likes to hear the sound of a rodent scavaging through drawers or knawing on insulation while you are trying to sleep. I grew up in a more rural setting with a 10 acre orchard behind our house so mice were a common occurence in our house. Usually we would find them laying dead in our yard after the cat had caught them, but more often than not we would have to put our mouse traps in our attic to try and catch them before they multiplied and created real havoc. My dad used to use all different types of traps to catch the mice - traditional wooden traps with cheese, glue traps, and even electronics traps that zapped the mouse before he ever knew what happened. Some traps are considered "no kill" mouse traps where you essentially catch and release the rodent.
