I realize they are health and property damaging risks....so I get it....they need to be eliminated. Hey, rats and mice spread the bubonic plague.

Mickey Mouse, Chip and Dale, Alvin and The Chipmunks...
The Movie...Willard...OK not such a good example....

But it seems like such a horrible trick.
A starving rodent...lured by delicious food....WHAM! Heading towards the light.....

What if Aliens came to earth and killed humans similarly?
Oh look...there's a delicious box of French Fries.....WHAM......

Grandma is that you? But you're dead? What happened? Why is everything glowing brightly?

One day I caught a mouse in a trap kind of at an angle so it wasn't killed at once. That mouse screamed like a baby. I finally had to kill it with a hammer to end its suffering. Not fun.

But, on the whole they get no sympathy from me. They move into my home and don't even pay any rent.

I am going to put a mouse trap in the engine compartment of my Fit. Maybe one behind the glovebox, too. Although that one may be difficult to check. An unwrapped piece of Bit-O-Honey should be the perfect bait.
I saw a little bite mark on the cabin air filter last time I checked it.
