Oh that's horrid. Much more horrid than finding half of one chewed up on the floor.

Nothing horrid about the death of vermin, however they die.

The bloody stump prints would be horrid. I think I'm just objecting to having to pick the dead ones up.

The best mouse trap I have used was from b&q and is a plastic box with a hinged door and ramp. When the mouse enters the ramp drops and the door closes. it then opens again so more than one mouse will fit.

Is the glue strong enough for cats?

I used to live in a row of newish town houses - they used to run from the property from the left - through my property in to the property on the right - using the gap between the downstairs ceiling and the bedroom floor as the run.
I took up a bedroom floorboard. Put aluminium foil on the ceiling run
- hung a second piece of foil vertically with just a small gap between it and the horizontal piece. Mains to the two pieces across the gap and bob's your uncle.

So when the house catches fire from a pile of smouldering mice who'll explain it to the insurance company?

Is this for cats which are too lazy to catch mice themselves?

I didn't say it was better to leave them walking around.
It will kill them more quickly, but often not straight away. Mice in particular tend to just get their snout caught by one and then presumably they die of the pain.

I've only seen one (two actually, babies in the same trap - it must be unusual) which had been caught by the snout. All others have died of a headache.

No I've gone more rural - I thinkI need to get one of those catflaps with a camera which only allows the cat in if she's not holding baggage.
It's only been two - no hang on three including the live one. But the big cat jumped on that and took it out for me.

Perhaps ours aren't as nervous... or more hungry ... or it might be that we leave a baited but 'flat' trap around and not until the bait is taken do we then bait a set trap. By that time they're used to taking bait without hesitation.

Well if you have gone rural, you had better get used to the site of dismembered cotrses left by your inhuman(e) neighbours littering the place.
And if you take the myxy rabbit to the vets to be put down, instead of a big stick to thwack him behind the ears, you are in for a big load of mazuma.
Usually they let them go, and you discover their dessicated corpses under the kitchen units in few years time.
The smell fades reasonably fast.
