Mouse in the house

I noticed a few turds in the kitchen around the dishwasher last week. So I set a trap. Everyday I would look at the trap, not closely. Never went off. No biggie sometimes it takes a few days...

Yesterday I got up close to take a look and damn if the f**ker didn't get the cheese without triggering the trap!

I have one of those for chipmunks. I think one time I caught somebody's hamster that got loose.

I want to kill the mouse! It's in the house!!

Same problem here... Get a rat glue trap... (Make sure its for rats and not mouse, mouse glue is to weak) and put a piece of snicker bar in the middle of it... Come back in the morning and u will have a fresh beacon waiting for u.

I have a mouse phobia. They completely freak me out. I had a hard time even reading your post and my feet immediately went into my chair the moment i read your thread title. I know, it's completely irrational they just really gross me out. Good luck.

put more than one trap out. i've had the problem twice now. once in the house. i think they came in with the christmas tree that time. i always put out 4. sometimes they'd get the cheese without springing a trap, but it isn't likely to happen on all of them. the first night i got 3. the next i got 2. it took me 4 nights to not catch any.

the next time it was in the garage, and it only took 2 nights to not get a dead mouse.

edit: about the d-con...you never know where they are going back to. you could end up with dead mouse stench coming from your walls. that and my dogs is why i didn't go with that option. plus the old school mouse traps are so cheap!

Screaming at it, pointing at it and squirting it with Clorox doesn't work, it only makes them mad.

I have a story about a mouse...

My in-laws were cleaning out a house they own that some people recently moved out of. These people were the nasty of nasty. You've heard of people having roaches bad? Well these people had mice almost that bad, everything was infested with mice.

My MIL is afraid of mice and since it was her job to do most of the cleaning she was pretty afraid most of the time to go in there and would make her presence known by stomping around and yelling to scare the mice away. My FIL set traps and was catching about 10-15/day. He wanted to catch more so he got some of those glue rat traps and put those out. But as you know the mice only get stuck to those, it doesn't kill them. My MIL saw a mouse was stuck to one where she was trying to work and it was squeaking and chirping and trying to get away but it couldn't. So my MIL, as silly as she is, she tries to kill the mouse by squirting Clorox on it. This obviously just angered the mouse, Clorox doesn't kill mice. lol She ended up squirting the mouse so much that he was able to get his feet free and he ran off. But since he had been squirted with Clorox he must have been delirious or something because he just sat there running in circles around her. She screamed and screamed and my FIL came running in to see her still squirting this already soaking wet mouse with the clorox and pointing at it. He ended up stomping on the mouse. That poor mouse! So now when ever someone mentions killing a mouse we tell them screaming at it, pointing at it and squirting it with Clorox doesn't work, it only makes them mad.

i tried peanut butter and fruit, but cheese is what gets them every time. i used the cheapest shredded stuff i could find. i think it was food lion brand american or cheddar. take a couple of pieces and mash it into the plate so that they really have to work to get it. that all but eliminates the issue of them getting the cheese without triggering the trap. seriously mash it into the holes.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
