I also dislike the idea of posioining these creatures. Let them escape and not disturb you.

The problem with this is that the rodent would be placed in an unfamiliar environment which may stress it

Blogs are for arguing and information search. They are not research papers and definitely not an Educational tool !!!

Bailey Sat, 13 Mar 2010 23:29:15 +0000 http://blog.epa.gov/blog/?p=1487#comment-27869 Our condo association maintenance department does a great job with installing barriers to prevent pests as small as ants from getting into the buildings. Barriers are a lot better than sprays or baits and a lot healthier, too. We also have a good grounds keeping crew that works hard to make sure the plants are well cared for and no pests can come into the buildings by way of trees or bushes. And we have natural pest control of different kinds. Sprays and baits are dangerous and full control may take several sprayings or bait placements. It is also important to leave a window open when using sprays which can be cold if you need to spray in winter. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

I think that we were all lucky, the mouse included, that chain of events like they did. I wouldn’t come near it with a ten foot pole and I definitely prefer the killing option. I guess I was not quite open in my blog writing. While all the scene was unfolding, I was far away in the kitchen. A very distant observer, I may add.

The youngest one likes to play a lot, but she didn’t make an appearance until the mouse was actually gone.

So anyone trying to “capture and release” is taking a big chance by doing so. Safety first.

He’s far more interesting in catching a nap in a sunny spot.
