| A Better (& More Humane) Mousetrap |

When my daughter was a teenager she had pet mice. One day when she was in school, I noticed a mouse had somehow escaped from the cage. I was afraid our cat could get it, so needed to catch it.
Unaccustomed to handling mice, I had some silly drama as I tried to catch the mouse and get it back to safety.
Later my daughter told me if that happened again, use a cardboard tube to catch the mouse. Mice are attracted to tunnels, and so will crawl into a cardboard tube if it is placed right before them.
That's a nice to keep this in mind if you ever have a field mouse in your home. Just block off one end of the tube and try to get the mouse to crawl into the open end. You can then remove the mouse from your home without harming it.
People of average courage would use a paper-towel tube, but if you catch mice while standing on a chair, try a gift-wrap tube.
