Going to be a great trapping season

[Sea Dangles]

My cat is an outdoor cat that is constantly on the prowl. Even tangled with a red fox this summer. Unfortunately he thinks he is off the clock inside. What about the glue traps?

they hate being locked out or IN

they MUCH prefer to have them open a crack
so they can open them as they please

knowing this: i'll prop open the back screen door
leave the storm door open

and then leave the kitchen door open just enough
to lure him in... or OUT, as the case may be
they absolutely cannot resist it ---PERIOD---

Mice are similar minded but what they want
is a hole to crawl in... to feel safe in there

that is "WHY" THE METAL BOX TRAP WORKS.

i can leave it outside with NO bait in it
and i'll catch three mice at once

same idea as a lobster trap...just smaller

Yep, mice could walk right on Blurry while he was in the house and he wouldn't even open his eyes.






....gotta go check the traps.

12 traps, one stinkin' mousie. I'm either getting worse at this, or I'm running out of mice.

We had a mouse problem in my college apartment one year and set some glue traps. We found 2 traps with a mouse leg stuck, but no mouse. The third trap was empty.

We discovered the best way to catch the mice was to sit in the dark and drink a lot. When the mice scurried across the kitchen floor, we'd jump into action and shoot them against the wall with hockey sticks. It worked pretty well.
