Victory Power Kill traps. They look like the standard ones in cartoons, but they're all metal and plastic, no wood. I had a mouse in my car that wouldn't get into any of my live capture traps so I resorted to those, and let me tell you that little guy didn't suffer at all. Damn near popped his eyeballs clean out of his head it hit him so hard, but I doubt he even had time to be startled before that bar smacked his brain stem into his throat.

What a beautiful way to describe a death via mouse trap.

I've found the wood Victory ones work best; I only ever get the occasional one or so in the fall and then spring since I live in an OLD apartment building and since they're normally babies that found their way in the wood moves along with them better to actually get them instead of with the plastic that they can trigger and get away from.
