Humane traps - much better, no little rodent lying under the floor or in a wall somewhere, decomposing and creating a smell !

i'm not being all fluffy and saying you shouldnt kill it, what you do to it after you have caught it is up to you.

But i do recommend you make sure you put the poison down where no other animal will get to it (next doors cat/dog)

few years ago the little girl upstairs hamster escaped .. we caught it in a humane trap and returned it to her, so they do work.
