u probably gave them some blue tic tacs....
 
I tried 3 kinds of humane traps trying to catch 1 little mouse he would always eat all the penutbutter and never get trapped.

So I got the sticky kind of trap and had his little @ss in a 1/2 hour.😀

The sticky ones work well; I assume the mouse just breaks its own back or something to try to escape.

But they work well.

In my experience, if left alone, the mouse struggles frantically to get loose until it starves to death or something, all the time squeaking frantically and trying to drag it's way to safety while gnawing at the trap. Humane my arse. You just torture them before you kill them.

Ha, humane mouse traps. A friend of mine had mice and decided to try the "glue the mouse to the pad" humane mouse trap. What he found the next day could have come from a Steven King novel. Several mice got stuck to the pad and proceeded to gnaw each other to death. The third and remaining mouse only had his back legs stuck and managed to chew one off and then used it's front legs to drag the whole mess across the floor in a bloody trail of carnage.

My advice: go with the tried and true spring model. You know, the kind that extrudes the mouse's inards out his poop-chute when it snaps down on his mid-section instead of his neck. Say, anybody up for some pasta with meat sauce?

LMAO!
 
My GF does not like the sight of dead mice so she used Decon. Her EX told her that she would never see them again they would just run off and die. So a few days later a mouse comes staggering out flopping over getting up walking and flopping over again. Poor think walked around in circles for a while and finally flopped. She picked it up placed it into the toilet and flushed and the mouse was gasping and fighting to get out as it went down 😱 !

she didn't like the sight of dead mice but she liked the sight of a mouse drowning to its inevitable death?
 
we tried sticky traps, humane traps, snappers (the classic), but the only one that worked were those blue poison pellets

however, it took a few days before the mice were dead, and they left a plethora of BLUE POOP as a departing gift

LOL! My dad had some of those sticky traps in our garage. One night I heard something banging around in the garage, and when I turned on the light I saw a cat rolling/flipping around on the floor trying to get the trap off of its face and front paws!
 
get the industrial glue ones that smell like peanutbutter they work grrreat! and are fast to catch. If you can stomach what to do with them afterwards is another matter. cause they do not just come off the glue...

mice are not human:Q
 
sticky traps are less humane. While the don't kill the mouse directly, they do trap them permanently. I've seen mice chew their legs off to try to escape. Also watched one break it's back. Definitely not more humane.

Ha ha, that reminds me of a joke.

"Three mice are sitting around one day boasting about who is the toughest of the bunch. The first mouse says he enjoys the challenge of snagging the cheese off of the mouse traps before they snap down on him. The second mouse claims that he likes to gather up all the rat poison, grind it into a powder and add it to his coffee for an extra buzz. The third mouse just stands up, stretches, and says "I don't have time to listen to this BS, I'm goin' home to f#ck the cat"".

you took the words out of my mouth



 
If you want to catch a mouse, you need the right bait:

Peanut butter on a classic spring trap. Works like a charm every time.

Whatever you do, do NOT poison the little sh!ts. They'll crawl into a hole and die, then stink to high heaven.

i would never be able to use the toilet after that. Visions of a half dead mouse ghost clawing its way up the pipe would freak me out. Though it would scare the sh!t out of me which could be seen as a good thing 😀

We have mice in the garage.
They chewed a hole in the bag of dog food out there, and left mouse poops behind.

So I go to get mousetraps.
I decided to try the "humane" traps.....when the mouse goes in to get the food, the trap tips forward closing the door, trapping the mouse......even has air holes!

So I set them all up yesterday with dog food in them, that they have come to love.
This morning, no food left and no mice :|

Guess they are gonna get the heavy duty "spring closed and kill your ass" type.

I tried the same ones and got the same results. Then I got Mr Springy. No more Mr Mousy
 
Last year I had several mice in my house that got quite annoying... before I had a chance to go get some traps spring arrived and they all moved out. This year I have only had one mouse. He was quickly greeted by both myself and my newfie/lab mix. Needless to say he was only in the house for about 2 days because one night as I was watching TV my dog perked up and stared into the kitchen. I turn around and see the mouse walking across the stove. I get up, sneak over there, and then WHAM slam my hand down on the stove to scare the sh*t outta the mouse. He runs and falls off the stove and onto the floor where he's quickly chased into the laundry room by my dog. Must have scared the bejesus outta him because I havn't seen a single mouse in my house since then. 😀
Probably went back and told all his friends that I had the biggest most hyper black panther he'd ever seen and to stay away from that house. 😉
