Mousetrap Disposal Bag

The only thing more unpleasant than setting a mousetrap is removing a squished mouse and resetting the trap—yuck! I’d rather throw away the dead mouse—with the 49¢ trap—than even think about resetting it, but that still means touching it. Now, I bait the trap and then carefully slide it into a paper lunch bag. After it’s sprung, I chuck the whole mess into the garbage. — Melanie Bailey
