Just found this thread, a couple of weeks after having to deal with a mouse infestation in my kitchen.
The fuckers had got into a plastic tub full of bulk bags of grains & lentils, then colonised a shelving unit and turned it into a multi-storey hotel/restaurant complex.
Panic-bought some Amazon 'humane' traps without doing any research. Traps were highly effective, catching 3-6 little shits per day... Releasing them was interesting.
Cycled to a park a mile away to set them free. The first one decided to run across an exposed car park instead of under a bush and got instantly swooped on and munched by a bloody MAGPIE.
A few passed without incident, until one ran straight into the gob of a yummy-mummy's dog in front of her kids, and another two flung themselves off a bridge, into a freezing brook, and floated away.
I think I'll get instant-kill traps if they ever come back...
