That being said I wish it hadn't. It would be far easier than CO2 to dispatch a single mouse (My California King is the worst hunter I have ever seen, an average of 5 or more missed strikes before finally catching a foot or tail.) So for what its worth I am a big fan of CD when done correctly. I wish I could do it correctly. Until then a tank of CO2 purchased from my local welding supply store has served me well.
I wasn't too great at it at first either. Maybe you could practice on dead rats? It really is super easy and quick once you learn what you're doing.
