A mouse in my house

[huligun]

Okay, from what I understand it is never just one. But mice don't rhyme with house.

Today I went to get something out of a drawer in the kitchen. The bastards ate my microwave popcorn and some instant pudding.

I am trying to think of what to do. I do have a cat. A big mean one at that. Maybe we need to have a talk. I worry about using poisons as they have a way or working their way up the food chain. I am probably going to have to get some traps. I can just see me pulling little mouse corpses off the trap each morning.

If these little rat bastards get near my stash I am going to go postal on their asses.

live traps. best way to go. multiple catch and then you can either choose to kill or release.

easily found on amazon

peace

I would also say live traps. Mice are stupid and very easy to catch. A simple live trap and some bait placed along a wall near where you think they are and you'll catch them. The next step is to find where they came in though because more often than not you'll have new ones move in once the old ones are out.

easy.

you can choose the mouse's demise from this point...either have them fall into a garbage can tall enough that they can't jump out of...or a bed of nails. It's up to you.

What jip and Eazytoke said.
Make sure you find and seal the hole those little f*ckers are coming in thru...

i also seen ,on that billy the exterminator show,snakes like to follow,so sealing up the outside is just as imporatant as gettin the intruders.

Get the little 25 cent traps the hardware and use peanut butter for bait. Lay em against the wall and set em so they close toward the wall. The angle breaks the spine much easier.

go buy a gamo varmint hunter with flashlight and lazer and have some fun .

 

[ShroomDr]

buy new cat or feed old cat less... (kidding of course)

cats were brought/tolerated indoors and 'domesticated' to kill vermin. Tell your pussy to get to work or not to let the door hit it on the ass...

A 5 gallon bucket and a 2x4 or stick and a dab of peanut butter. Place bucket on the floor with opening pointing up, lean stick against the outside so mouse can get in the bucket and put the drop of peanut butter in the bucket. Mouse goes in and can't get out. Pro tip: Live mice make excellent cat toys.

Mice ..... vile things in the house, no bladder so constantly pissing out germs .... my buddy got Wiels Disease from them running around in his kitchen

No sympathy for them ..... sealed the house and sulphur bombed it for 2 days ..... the 'mouse' turned out to be 4 rats

 

[Yes4Prop215]

mice in the house is no problem...im finding mice in my smartpots!!

we already have 2 very capable cats, 1 who has confirmed mice kills.....but thinking about going to the shelter and adopting a few more. id rather let them run around the property and kill mice than sit inside a cage all day...

 

[MrBluntfaced]

Live trap a couple of 'em and then put your cat in a "playpen" like area with the mice you caught...Big enough for them to both move around, but secure enough that neither can escape...I would say leave your cat there with the mice until he gets too hungry and maybe he'll nomnomnom, but that's fucked up - starving your pet 'n all haha. So I'd say just put them together for a little while, I bet after a few times your cat's natural instincts may start to come out

 

[supermanlives]

snipe em i say .leave a pile of food in safe area break out the night vision and snipe their ass. lol rodents arent that stupid . use a combo of evverything. whatever it takes. when i had rats out back they learned to avoid traps real quick.they havent however learned to avoid 1200fps pellets

don't fuck with glue traps, whatver you do. My neighbor that I would smoke with used them, and said that he coudln't stand the crying and he stabbed it wth a steak knife like repeatedly. I told him to call me next time he caught one and he called me a few days later like it's all yours dude and I took it back and used warm water and cuticle scissors to get the poor guy off the glue thing...he like LOOKED at me dude, like "please don't hurt me"...I had to be really gentle getting him unstuck and he kept squirming every time I'd get a part of him loose and he would get stuck again. So I finally used more and more water and I finally got him off of there...I ended up putting him in the bushes and he started licking himself and that was that. How can fuckers kill animals like that? Sick punk ass pussies. Fuck animal cruelty. Shit's as bad as rape.

If you do your job I would not need this thread!

 

[supermanlives]

This is the time of year that mice are looking for their winter home. Next month it will be ladybugs.

Cats learn from their mothers. If momma wasn't a mouser, chances are none of her offspring will be either.

Mice carry fleas that carry fatal diseases. Plagues caused by fleas wiped out almost 1/2 of the human population a few hundred years ago. The hanta virus has been found in NY and MD and is common in the drier areas of the American west.

PLEASE DO NOT HANDLE MICE WITHOUT PROPER PROTECTION INCLUDING MASKS.

If you do capture them alive and want them dead, just put them in sack under a tire and pretend they are rippers! Use lighter fluid to cremate the remains in some far corner of a big parking lot. Save your life not some "killer."

I prefer to use glue traps but I also have a 5 gallon bucket trap. I put a can w/holes punched dead center through each end on a piece of wire coat hanger which is placed across the bucket, spread some peanut butter on the can and add a few inches of 50/50 anti-freeze in the bottom of it. The antifreeze acts as an embalming fluid and the dead mice don't stink. I use this method every time I leave town for extended stays.

btw, I'm opposed to having cats run free outside unless you have a good 10 acres and no nearby neighbors, cats wander into other peoples yards killing the wildlife we all enjoy. they don't hunt just mice, a nest full of hatchlings is fair game to a cat and I can assure you I don't let that happen here.
