The problem is you can SMELL them! I'd rather empty my
traps 14 times in an hour (yes, I've done that in the past)
than smell them for a week while they decompose.


Practice safe eating - always use condiments

Nope... I never had that dead mouse scent in my house. I don't know if the
walls were particularly thick or well insulated or if the critters dragged
themselves outside to die. Never had that smell problem.
