My mom saw a mouse running around our kitchen a couple of days ago, so she had my father put out some traps. The only traps he had were horrible glue traps. I was having trouble sleeping, so I got out of bed to play video games, and I heard a noise coming from the kitchen. A mouse (or possibly a rat, I don't know) was stuck to one of the traps. Long story short, I put it out of its misery by drowning it in the toilet.

I feel sick.

That sounds unpleasant. If I were you I'd go pick up some snap traps tomorrow. Also, wear ear plugs or headphones.

My father used to trap mice in garbage cans baited with peanut butter, and release them some distance from our house. (They probably still died, but they had as much chance as any other wild mouse.)
