Holy crap think I caught another lol



I really need to figure out how they're even getting up there. :/ Every time I think I may have found a potential entry point I get more.

3 mice so far tonight. Damn. The problem is really worse than I thought. I might need a multi kill solution. It was not this bad before.

I need to try to isolate where they are entering, garage would be the easiest to isolate, I need to put a multi kill trap in there and bait it really good and see if I stop getting them in the attic.

I'm thinking something involving high voltage. :D Just need to build it safe... I need to consider what happens if it sets a mouse on fire without killing it, for example.

Ugn I should really go to bed I have to get up at 6am tomorrow, that's going to be brutal. Only 2 day shifts in a row though so won't be too bad. Then I'm off for at least 2 more days. The schedule cuts off at that point so might be off for longer I'll see when I get the new schedule at work.

Vacuum cleaner trap. Set some bait in a length of vaccum hose, with trigger on switch when bait is moved. Vacuum to a cage instead of bag.

That's crossed my mind actually. lol Suck them up and they end up in a bucket or something, or shot straight in the air outside against the fence. The Vacuminator Blunt Force Trauma Multi Kill 9000(tm).

Got another tripped trap overnight around 3:30am, I'll check it after work. I'm just on lunch now.

Don't you have a cat? :p
HV is fine and is lethal far below the autoignition temperature of singed hair. ;)
