this morning ok

i start the wife's Volvo

and back up leaving a quite bewildered mouse
sitting right in the middle of the driveway

normally i'll just walk over and crush its head
no need getting guts goo on my shoe...

instead, i run to get the damn cat

i put him down right on top of the mouse to watch him
sick it.... he fails

the mouse runs... i kick it to the cat
he looks at it but doesn't friggan care

then the mouse runs back under the car :wall:
gone...

new rule: step on them everytime
SCREW the CAT

When I lived with my ex-girlfriend, Erica, in Allston we had a nasty mice problem. Those things you're talking about didn't do a thing. We just used sticky traps and tossed them. It was nasty. Good riddance...

When I met Denise about 22 years ago her apartment had mice. 41 of them she trapped when I found poo droppings and told her to set traps.

Mouse pee is some WICKED vile #^&#^&#^&#^& man. So is their poo. They're probably out there humping your toothbrush right now

Our cellar is a bit of a maze and I've never thought the traps worked that well.

The D-Con pellets, that works well.

When I bought my house we had a problem with those little bass-turds. Killed tons of them. Those electronic plug in units worked well for us. I made a mouse trap in the barn and caught (killed) an average of 6 a night.

5 gal bucket with 6" of water.

A string hanging from the ceiling with a paper plate attached to it.(a hole in the center of the plate with the string going through it, and a knot in the string, under
the plate) This hangs directly over the bucket, about even with the top of the bucket.

Place a piece of wood about 3 feet long from the ground to the top of the bucket like a ramp. (I used a piece of 1x3 furring) Put enough Peanut Butter to entice the mouse up the ramp.

Also put a blob of PB on the center of the plate.

When Mickey gets to the top of the ramp he jumps onto the plate ...the plate tips up....Mickey goes for a swim.

Empty bubket and repeat.

Heres the thing.. i live in a little one room shack thats only about 300 square feet. I think i am going to try the high pitch mouse annoyer trick first... Get them to pack up ship and set sail.... I think because my place is so small the sound from that thing will cover the whole place.

NEBE....
you must not be paying attention to me or you have me on the ignore list
i'm not sure which....doesn't matter

if you want to catch the mice and re release them unharmed then the metal trap...
it's a box trap...i bought it at Auchobon hardware for like 21 bucks
cheaper than the electronic unit...

catches them but doesn't harm them what so ever
it has a lift up door so you can "let them go" somewhere else
and it'll last forever...catches up to 6 at a time

i strictly use black sunflower seed as bait usually
but all animals seek fat sources before winter arrives
so a chunk of beef suet for birds and a little black sunflower seed
is an absolute irrisistable attractant or use peanut butter on bread
to hold sunflower seed kinda like a glue

i freaked at the price @ first but after using the trap
and was catching them when i didn't even want to
i realized it was the most effective trap ever made.

Find a different moral dilemma to wrestle with, and go with the mainstream approach when it comes to vermin.

I'm listening. My theory is the vox trap only adresses the mice that are here.. The sound thing sends a message 24-7 to the mice that they are not welcome. I will go the have a heart route if I decide to trap.

That's the visual that always bugs me. You just know they're tinkling on your forks, spoons, and knives and dropping turds in and around your pots and pans as they crawl all over the house at night.

If that's not motivation to do some killing I don't know what is...

Havahart Traps do work though, and actually quite well if killing isn't the preferred approach.

you have to set them so the trigger bar is barely on

because they don't weigh much or enough to trigger
the trap to close.... and have one door already closed.

also you have to add a weight (flat rock) to the slammer door
to speed up it's closing -> as mice are wicked fast movers

better to not place bait on the see /saw shelf but on the floor
just past it.... old piece of bread with peanut butter covered in sunflower seeds....

Status Update. 2:00 AM.
Heard mouse in kitchen knock over mug in sink. Launched out of bed!!! Ran in.. Turned on lights and stunned the rodent. It ran under my toaster oven. I picked ip a colander. I slowly lifted the toaster and as the mouse ran I slammed the colander on top of him trapping him alive. Then I held my cutting board on the side of the counter and slid the colindar over the board without harming the mouse. Then I let the mouse go... In the toilet. It took 2 flushes to make him go down, but I can report that I released him un harmed.. True to my promise. :D

often times they go into a sink to grab a drink of water
so
it pays to keep the sink spotless but 2 inches full of water

they'll be in there semi submerged some morning....

Ugh... Mice.

I'm dealing with them for the first time. Thought we had one or two, I've killed 5 in the last two days. Also have squirrels in the attic, but when I put a trap up there, the mice eat all the bait.

Johnny I swear by those white Ortho traps. A little bit of peanut butter down inside the cup. If you really want to break mouseballs then stick a couple sunflower seeds in the peanut butter

They never get that fa

:gorez:


pick them up by the handle, dump outside for the fly population then click n reset for the next one. No dirty hands. No sticky crap. No trying to set a trigger. Those things are the jaws of death.

I've been looking for something that will hold multiple mice. It's a huge pain getting into the attic. Been chipping away at ones in the kitchen 2/night.

I mixed up some mouse bait - peanut butter, hulled sunflower seeds, thistle and some crushed peanuts. Seems to be working pretty well so far.

i read somewhre once that you can float a small cup full of sunflfower seeds in a 5 gallon bucket so that it is almost sinking... then make a nice dive platform for the mouse to jump off of into the bucket- when the mouse hits the seeds, the SS minnow sinks and leaves him to die a slow drawn out death treading water.

That's more in character.
Why should one be nice to mice, and mean to people?
I know you're an artist, but still - the dichotomy was striking. Only some people are less than vermin and should be treated as such. The others, I think, should be afforded a measure of civility.
