I am afraid that there are situations that overwhelm the trapper. I used to
work at a small nursery and the mice we eating so much of our crop that I
couldn't fill orders. I trapped but was spending a lot of time every day
enptying, cleaning, repairing or replacing, and re-loading traps. I bought
"safe" poison and went through 10 pounds of the stuff in one winter.
