Damn Mice! How do you get rid of em?

[bfdd]

you fucking kill them all, duh?

when my neighbors moved, their mouse problem became mine. they chewed the corner off a rarely used back door and roosted in my office and pantry. when i saw the first one, i stayed up all night and killed 7 nests with traps, sticky paper, hammer, boot and pine sol. pine sol did a GREAT job at killing them where i couldnt reach and didnt want to wait for them to show themselves. i got the last one with my blow gun. mice dont like my house anymore. between me and my dog (he will play with them like a cat then stomp on their backs to kill them when he gets bored) the only mice we see are running very fast, away from the house.

Doesn't necessarily work. I have mice because of my cat. She brings one in every day, and only kills maybe 1 in 4.
She even has a special meow for, "Look what I brought you," which she'll let out in series right before dropping the darned thing so it can shoot off under the baseboard radiators.

Your kitty must be so disappointed in you, letting the precious live gifts she brings get away.

Get a cat. A couple falls ago we got hit with them for some reason still unknown. Picked up a cat at the animal shelter and they dissapeared with the quickness. The cat never killed one but just it's presence got them to hit the road.

You must've had smarter mice than those I encountered. There were two cats at my parents' house for quite awhile. The occasional mouse populace didn't seem to care a whole lot about the cats roaming around, even after one of the mice would abruptly get eaten.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that this might be because the cat is trying to teach you how to hunt.
That'd be fun. Cat brings you an injured thing, easy to kill - and you consistently fail to kill it when it's let go. No wonder cats act so aloof - they have clear evidence that we're inept morons.

The two I had caught when I used the sticky trap I had put into a bucket of water and held it down with a broom stick. I was like the guy in the Saving Sarah Marshal movie while stabbing the pig...

yea i wacked it in the head with a hammer, the stick trap was a tube so no splatter. it was one of those wtf do i do now situations, shoulda thought it through before buying the stupid things lol

never again!



and yea folks, poison = stank in the wall for weeks.

I had two mice a couple of years ago. Came in through a small hole in where AC pipe comes into house.

Closed off hole. Use the old fashioned Victor wooden traps w/peanut butter. Fancy traps didn't work. Keep the PB smear close to the lever so they have to apply pressure to eat.

Also when you think you got them all I would try leaving some food out and look for shit pellets to confirm.

The glue boards always worked for me.

+1

some ghetto stanky people posting above.

How the fck do you eat in yo cribs?

Why don't you just clean up a bit first? Having open cheeto bags <> open Cristal.

Traps always worked for me. Use peanut butter, they love peanut butter. I'd suggest "natural."

Get a cat, or use ham in your traps. Use a small slice that they will have to put effort to tug it out.
Meat has never failed meh.

Yeah, a cat would really help. What it doesn't kill will ditch the place in terror.
