UserRemoved1 11-02-2010, 04:09 AM Little bastids cleaned me outta Dcon in one day. Every box GONE
I seen one day before yesterday. I think I fed the whole building :smash:
In other events I figured out how to fill chipmunk burrows VERY effectively. Leaf blower and p stone. Works pisser. I got a 5 gallon bucket down one hole on Saturday in 5 minutes:rotf2: Oh and a bit of lacquer thinner and a blow torch on a stick work good too :hee:
Raven 11-02-2010, 05:11 AM mothballs are cheaper than decon i'll bet
for the chipmunk hole
stcroixman 11-02-2010, 06:34 AM I filled up all the chipmink hole sin my stone wall sunday with concrete.
Mouse traps are out. I think I need to find something better than peanut butter though. The ants seem to like it too.
Raven 11-02-2010, 06:43 AM problem with peanut putter is that they can just lick it off
if ya glue a peanut still in the shell onto the tripper lever then they have to push down on it to release the peanut as they chew the shell.
Best mouse trap is the one sold at true value for 21 bucks...
i first freaked on the price but later found it was worth every penny when ya catch 6 at a time....
i've even left it outside after a mouse died in it (just skin and bones) from me not checking it...........
and the mice still went in there because a moldy old piece of suet cake (for the birds) was still in there.

JohnnyD 11-02-2010, 10:25 AM I have squirrels in the attic. I promised the misses that I'd try and get a trap before I go up there and shoot it. Anyone have a spare trap and want to deliver it to my house?? No?? Ah well, I tried. Guess I can shoot it now.
Raven 11-02-2010, 11:26 AM Problem with squirrels in the ATTIC is once they have Babies
they are IMPOSSIBLE to keep out and will chew through wire mesh
even .....to get back to their nest. I've seen it first hand.
Also the babies by default if allowed to live will always be House squirrels and won't build nests in trees like a normal squirrel does.
Go get the HAV-A-Heart at home depot JD and spread a
piece of bread with peanut butter then top it off with sunflower seed.
it's either that or put a suet cake in there.... for a buck
because they cannot resist them
justplugit 11-02-2010, 05:58 PM 3M has a new mouse trap called Big Cheese. Pre-baited
non poisonus around $5. Suppose to be good, we'll see.
Backbeach Jake 11-02-2010, 06:05 PM Peanut butter, case of beer, pellet gun, and a Saturday afternoon. JK
Peanut butter on the trap works pissa for me ..Mice Rats and squirrels can't help themselves. Takes a week to get them comeing, but after that it's like rodent opium.
Raven 11-02-2010, 09:06 PM is better than peanut butter
because it has less oil but more fat
but for us its less toil to just have a Cat
who's allot faster than a mouse or a Rat
now you can go ahead and call me a loon
but i am sticking with my Maine Coon.
ProfessorM 11-03-2010, 06:17 PM i like peanut butter too but I always put some chocolate or an M&M on top of peanut butter as they seem to sometimes luck out and just lick the butter off without the axe coming down.
striperman36 11-03-2010, 06:40 PM Get a friggin rat terrier.
Raven 11-03-2010, 07:07 PM i like peanut butter too but I always put some chocolate or an M&M on top of peanut butter as they seem to sometimes luck out and just lick the butter off without the axe coming down.
well .....................excuse....................... ..... me!
then you should just use a Reese's peanut butter cup
because they are so shrunken down now they are the perfect size for a mouse

UserRemoved1 11-04-2010, 03:58 AM ok WTF I come in this morning and sometime overnight SOMETHING dragged the empty Dcon wedge behind the furnace...about 3'
I would find it hard to believe that could be done by a mouse.
That thing was standing up facing the furnace yesterday afternoon because I looked at it.
Raven 11-04-2010, 04:34 PM it's ALIVE! :devil2:
chacubre" in Salty's shop
UserRemoved1 11-05-2010, 04:31 AM Frickin box moved again overnight. It's a foot away now under the furnace. I would not think a mouse was big enough to move a bait wedge like that around. Must still smell the bait residue.
O.D. Mike 11-05-2010, 10:21 AM Try this,
I learned "the" trick to spring mouse traps! Use whetever you want for bait. The trick is when you set the trap, place a BB or a small stone in the center under the trap on the bait side. Little mousey sniffs the bait and steps on the trap, it moves and Kapow! Your kill ratio will go up!

UserRemoved1 11-05-2010, 11:52 AM interesting. I'm going to pickup some traps this weekend.

The best mouse trap I have ever seen was a wire dome. All the wires went up and then down at the center to form a hole. Kind of like an eel trap. It had a little door on the side. Mouse smells cheese... Climbs up and goes in the hole... Eats cheese but can not get out of the opening because of the wires all pointing down.
Then you can release mouse at your neighbors :hihi:

O.D. Mike 11-05-2010, 09:34 PM Thought,
Bait for the spring trap, wear gloves, use peanut butter and add Decon to to the top like jimmy's on a ice cream. If they get away from the trap, they will die later....
Win win situation
UserRemoved1 11-06-2010, 04:00 AM The box moved again WTF
2' in the other direction.
striperman36 11-06-2010, 09:45 AM you have Decon resistant rats
UserRemoved1 11-06-2010, 10:08 AM well no mouse droppings anywhere...but i did see a mouse the other day.
UserRemoved1 11-18-2010, 05:05 AM Box hasn't moved in about a week. I figure I got whatever it was.
It moved last night over 3'
WTH could be moving this box of Dcon. :smash:
I got GHOSTS :alien: :usd:

UserRemoved1 11-18-2010, 06:20 AM no I don't see it. There's just nothing here to hold them and have never seen anything around the food on the cabinets etc.
Raven 11-18-2010, 06:23 AM put down some white flour around the decon
then you can have tracks ID
UserRemoved1 11-18-2010, 07:09 AM MOST excellent idea

Raven 11-18-2010, 04:03 PM i haven't even begun to trap mice yet
i'm just finishing the construction Phase
then it'll be -> clean up and finishing touches
then -> MOUSE genocide !!!!
the Maine Coon does pretty well
but
i love turning over plywood and stomping them the best.
when most of your clothes have mouse bites on them
i don't even consider being kind to them bastids

tattoobob 11-18-2010, 06:35 PM I worked in a welding shop in Lowell that was infested with rats
We used to play kick ball with them when they ran around the shop then someone would grab them with pliers and throw them in the wood stove
My shed was infested with them this summer, 2 boxes of Decon seemed to take care of them, I am still finding nests everywhere/ place I look
I f'n hate mice
I like the flour idea Raven
Karl F 11-18-2010, 06:36 PM good lord.. can only imagine what size the droppings are!
Raven 11-19-2010, 07:47 AM I f'n hate mice

UserRemoved1 11-19-2010, 05:04 PM Somebody did finally build a better mousetrap..

Felt nice to sleep in today.
Pictures of the kill
m+mhammer 11-20-2010, 06:12 PM Have them in my shed from time to time. found a plastic trap that works every time. h-d had them. I even let a friend use a couple.He c aught 5 mice in the first night. They are gray in color made by intruder. they are actually called "the better mouse trap."Victor makes one that's similar but not half as good. I drill a small hole in the bottom corner and put a thin piece of wire tired off to any thing near by.use peanut butter on the center pad. They look like the one with jaws a few threads back but no teeth. Good hunting mike.
UserRemoved1 11-24-2010, 05:02 AM CARNAGE!
4 days without anything moving. This morning there's dcon across a 3' area, the sticky bait trap/dcon combination is under a pallet holding a tool cabinet and it's well over 2' away from where it was.
And the thing is empty.
WTF!
Skippy you saw how this was setup. That little black thing next to the dcon box is the glue trap sticking up in the air under the pallet.
Raven 11-24-2010, 06:44 AM and what did the flour on the floor tell ya....?
nothing? because you didn't use it....
maybe theres a snake in there....:rotf2:
UserRemoved1 11-24-2010, 08:31 AM Just walked outside and there was one gray mouse sitting in the parking lot like he just dropped from exhaustion. Thing was fresh dead too.
I still can't believe a mouse could do this much.
iamskippy 11-24-2010, 09:05 AM don't forget that little bastard was snickering at us the other day, he was a true gladiator mouse!

thats a poisoned mouse leaving to die so don't
let anything else eat it because they'll die too
Swimmer 11-24-2010, 04:34 PM I just found out the mice in my barn was carrying the Dcon pellets away and storing them for future use. They didn't eat right away, WTF, WTF. I think I'll buy some traps, small and large, might be a squirrel as well eating the stuff.
UserRemoved1 11-29-2010, 05:01 AM So today is the first day again that anything has moved. All the Dcon spilled around the pallet is now gone.
GREAT I don't have to sweep the floor now :hee:
Tomorrow we trap :devil2:
iamskippy 11-29-2010, 10:26 AM Perhaps you should try to become one with the mouse? Learn its ways adapt its customs, gain its trust. Maybe then you be able to succeed in crushing his skull.
UserRemoved1 11-29-2010, 10:39 AM I wanna give him some of norman's habanero hiney :rotf3:
UserRemoved1 11-30-2010, 03:59 PM I just introduced Mr Mouse to Mr Goodyear.
Think I got a friggin mouse problem? Jiminy Crickets
ProfessorM 12-02-2010, 11:45 AM gotten to the point I have to put a trap in my truck now. I only drive it maybe once every 2 weeks this time of year now and somehow mice are getting in there . Had nice nest in the glove box last winter. I got one this morning in the trap, DOA on the passenger floor. 1 down more to go i would expect.

LOL Mike, you want me to balance the trap on a BB after holding
my breath that I won't loose a finger while just setting it. :huh:
That would be a 2 valium job for me. :hihi: :D
Raven 12-03-2010, 04:45 AM i was just reading that a small ball of cotton
with some peppermint oil on it will drive mice
out of anywhere they might be encroaching....
Paul ,
you must have a rust hole some where on that truck
that's allowing them to get in.

My wife (who is a neat freak to say the least) opened her glove compartment last winter and there was a mouse. She lost it!! She never has any food or crumbs in there so she was and I were at a loss. Good thing she was in the driveway and not actually driving. I took care of it, and checked under the hood as I couldn’t figure out how it could have got in. I noticed a nest tucked up under engine area that I couldn’t get access to. She had to have some routine maintenance done anyway and when I brought it to our mechanic he said, “oh yea, Camry’s get them all the time”. He was working on one the previous day and a mouse jumped out. He told me that they go to the engine first for the heat and they eventually find their way to the media filter where they chew through it and get access to the inside.

I am so impressed with this trap..... i'm buying another one
again i caught a mouse in it then drowded the little sh1t in the cellar washroom sink and sorta forgot about it until it got a lil ripe so i put it out on the back lawn empty and sprayed out with the hose of mouse skin and bones...there was a very thin film of fat coating the metal floor from suet cake in there as bait....
and son of a gun i caught two more mice in it that night....
last night i caught the PINK PANTHER mouse that's been diggin up my corn and sunflower plants.... what an EASTER GIFT !
his body is on the sacrificial Alter awaiting pick up. :btu:

Finlander 05-26-2011, 11:23 AM Last night I'm going by the truck and see something move, stop and look and have a mouse watching me through the plastic grill up by the windshield. Pop the hood and 4 of them little bastards running around. Took my shoe off and got 3 out of 4 of them. Have been fighting them in both boat, worst spring for nice I've seen.
Raven 05-26-2011, 01:51 PM that i can no longer rely on trapping them
