I left them to starve of oxygen and die but I wonder if there’s a better way to put them out of their misery quickly?
I haven’t got the heart to splat them with a brick or a lump of wood.
So it troubles your delicate sensibilities to dispatch them promptly, but you're fine with letting them die slowly?
Have you considered setting-up a Facebook support group?
Or not being so fucking wet?

I’ve been following this threat with interest, we’ve had two mice running around the house since before Christmas, they went on their hols in May but were back last week. I’ve tried about four different types of trap, poison blocks, peanut oil, peanut butter, the ring of death, nothing worked and a couple of times they managed to extract the bait from the traps without setting them off.
So last week I took at trip to b&q and got a two pack of the big cheese traps. I’d noticed they’d been sniffing round a bag of monkey nuts so put one in the trap, it fitted perfectly into the bait hole. The result was two mice caught within a couple of hours.
The thing is, the mice are still alive and wriggling in the trap when it gets them. I left them to starve of oxygen and die but I wonder if there’s a better way to put them out of their misery quickly?
