I Hate Melted Mice

[cupcakelove]

This morning I woke up, and there was another mouse caught in a trap, that brought the total in the last few weeks to 5 mice caught. This afternoon, while I was out at the bar, I caught one more. This evening around dinner time, some mouse managed to eat the bait off the traps without being caught. I hate these mice.

I've never really had a mouse problem in any of my homes, but I have one suggestion (that you probably already already know about. Make sure you keep the traps close to the walls. It's rare for mice to move away from walls, unless there is food on the floor.

Also... Don't try to get rid of them with cats. Buy some Burmese pythons, and let them loose. You'll hardly ever see them.:flush:

growing up in our apt in jersey city we had mice for a little while. i remember my dad plugging up all the holes they made to get in with steel wool. he found a nest in one of the closets with what had to be 7 or 8 babies and i remember him flushing them down the toilet. he killed one with a broom and caught the others with traps. peanut butter was the bait of choice and worked great... i also remember watching tv at night and one of them would run across in front of the tv. it's amazing how startled you get from such a small creature

When I was a kid our cats would catch mice in the house. I'd always rescue them and run 3 fields away and let them loose. Half those mice would find their way back though and end up getting eaten by the cat anyway. Poor stupid mice.

In California, I worked in a design shop that was an old train station, every two weeks or so we'd put out traps, the big traps too, jumbo size, come morning there would always be couple traps with two at a time, they were so hungry and stupid they must of bum rushed it, big mice and rats too, Spam worked best.

there's a squirrel lose in my office. he's running around somewhere in the drop ceiling. they put a trap up there today above my cube. i'm supposed to call if i hear a great deal of russelling, squirrel screaming, or an odd smell.

As the male breadwinner of this household, for some reason I am required to deal with all creepy-crawlies. Snakes, spiders, salamanders, squirrels, heck even an occasional possum. No problem.

Fuck mice. I can not handle them. I will scream and jump on chairs like a sitcom woman until my wife deals with it.

Ugh, I gotta go take a shower.

We get mice every spring. We live in the 'wood' so they are plentiful. We used to set 'snap' traps but the girls (8 and 6) thought that was a cruel way to dispose of them. We bought humane traps (It traps them alive). My job is to take them out behind the woodpile (not a joke) and drown them. Those SOB's take forever to drown. I'm thinking of making a necklace of dead mice to give to my wife for our anniversary.
