We had been plagued for months, maybe years, by mouse in our garage. It got into the air compressor and chewed the wires, and stuffed insulation in the van's air conditioner. We tried everything: different types of poison, manual traps in different sizes using different types of bait. Nothing worked. We asked the guys at Yarnell Hardware what they suggested and they told us to try the sticky paper. We caught a scorpion and a lizard that way. On one of the traps, once, there was a bunch of fur and a perfect little mouse footprint. Then Gerald read about this trap in Mother Earth News. He floated the top of a margarine container in a five gallon bucket, baited it with sunflower seeds and put a little gangway on top. A few days later, we had our mouse!
