Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Gf and I live in kind of slummy type building.  It’s not ideal, but it’s what we can afford for now.  There’s there’s holes where the heating system is that the pipes go down.   We’ve both seen mice come up through these holes.  I’ve tried filling them in with cloth to no avail, they just keep getting in.  

I use typical mouse traps and poison.  My gf is a big animal lover and thinks it’s cruel.   She wants me to use non lethal and release them outside.  Besides the fact that I don’t want to handle live mice, I think releasing them outside is pointless as they’ll just come back inside.
