HELP! HELP! screams the mouse, a tear drop falling from his eye.
It's caught by stepping onto a special mouse trap glue sheet. Stuck here the mouse can only wait for a slow, stressful death. Or worse their faces stick to the mat and suffocate. Or, in a panic they gnaw their limbs off in a desperate attempt to be free.
But these are the only traps we can find in Phnom Penh. So despite there being a mouse in the house which is eating the food of our daft cat Vanna, we are going to wait until he does his damn job!It's been a while...

Ann, they sound like those old fly sticky strips my grandmother used to hang around her house to catch flies...yuk! Especially if you walked into one :(
ReplyDeleteAt first this sounded like a humane solution, but after your description, I'd much rather find the little rodents after the fact...after my cat has dealt with them.
It's extraordinary isn't it?Disgusting in fact.
ReplyDeleteI agree...finding the mouse after Vanna our cat has dealt with it - a more natural 'way of the animal kingdom' kind of solution.
I remember the sticky fly traps too. : )
