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.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
