The mice readily go for small snap traps.
The much larger southern lemming will occasionally go for peanut butter in a rat size snap trap. I have also caught another few in buckets (baited with slices of apples), but neither method gets to the bottom of the problem.
I would prefer something humane (quick), but I can't afford to keep the lemmings in food. Any other suggestions?
PS. Cats are not the answer, as I am not at the greenhouse every day.
