    Or how about a few cats...

    It's sort of strange how people talk about being more humane to mice, but then think that it's okay for a cat to catch a mouse and eat it. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but cats (or nature in general) aren't very kind when it comes to eating their prey.

    That said, cats really are the best solution. My uncle's ranch has been infested with mice as long as I can remember. Well his daughter-in-law liked cats and introduced a bunch to the place. Within a year there were no more mice. NONE. Well leave it to modern technology to over engeneer a problem I guess.
