We had the same problem and bought "safe traps" at a local feed store--they are undoubtedly available elsewhere also. They are very simple: small container with a trap door: place food in the container, open the door, place on the floor; the container is balanced so that it will tip backward and close the door when a mouse goes for the food. after it is tripped, just take it and release the mouse some distance away from your van no blood, no guts, no fuss Dale --- Jim Morgan <JM060356@AOL.COM> wrote: > I now have a wierd new problem > It seems that mice have taken up residence.
