How to humanely rid your apartment of mice

1) Have mice who enjoy rooting through your trash, or trash that mice enjoy rooting through. Cereal crumbs and/or scented Glad trash bags (?) may aid this.

2) Listen for the telltale rustle of plastic.

3) Sneak up on the little rustler and scoop the bag out of the trash can. Hold tightly at the top. Check for frightened moving shape at the bottom.

4) Open bag outside to release the offender into the mouse diaspora, and hope it isn't clever enough to find the homeland again. Repeat as necessary. (I did this four times, and no more rustling so far...)
