	Mice


	If a mouse comes indoors and needs to be caught, use a humane trap. Make sure you check the trap regularly as they become dehydrated quickly and although humane can still become a death trap. When releasing, make sure you take it some distance (it is said at least 2 miles) or it will find its way back again.
