how to catch a mouse with out killing it. I have made four traps. I used 1 container per trap, and inside the container is one dab of peanut butter, and to hold the container up I used one mechanical pencil eraser. it doesn't seem to be working. also, I used a sprinkle of chia seeds with oatmeal around the peanut butter. how long should I have to wait? am I missing anything?
