ITS ALL OUT FUCKING WAR!!!! Like Vietnam, there will be no rules, dood.
I'm serious dude, you have to go to war. The exterminator ain't gonna help, but he'll take your money.
I got pissed when I started getting bit at night by mites. Turns out, rodents have these tiny mites that are attracted by carbon dioxide. So when I would go to bed with my door closed, they would sense the CO2 I was exahaling and come and bite the shit out of me. Itched like hell too.
You have to set traps every night and check them every morning. It's the only way. I was so pissed at them that I got a little obsessed. But they're all dead now, buwahahahahahahahaha!!!!:FIREdevil
I would start a photoshop thread or make up a bunch of stickers.
I had a rat problem at my old house and bought an electronic trap. It's basically a tunnel that the rat must go through to get the bait at the far end. To get the bait the rat has to touch an electrified plate and that zaps him. The thing worked like a charm. I was basically zapping a new rat each night. I wouldn't mind using Victor mouse traps on tiny mice, but the idea of finding a large rat dead in a Victor rat trap just wasn't appealing. With the elctronic trap a little red light goes on when a rat is caught and you just go dump the dead rat into the trash and rebait.
^ we built something like one of those too using some spare metal grating and my friends tazer
it was rad
all this war talk reminds me of fighting an ant infestation with some highly potent gel poison that you have to mail order
all these memories make me now wonder how i ever did well in school
hehe
handcuff the little fuckers and shoot them in the back.
i knew pech would somehow get a taser in to the discussion...:D
I'd ather have my kids get their finger stuck in a sticky trap than a snap one. Fuck the mice - they are in my home so they must die. Glue trap with a piece of Chocolate in the middle - sometimes I catch two at a time and throw their squealing asses right into the Trashcan.
Cat's not an option, since I'm allergic to them.
Sheesh - keep it up and you'll be out crying about the poor rocks and trees.
Tipp hates meeces to pieces.
Thufferin' Thuccotash!
I used to know these two guys that went camping at the same spot for a few years MAINLY because there were mice at that spot.
They would sit there all damn night long drinking beer and holding thier pellet guns looking for a chance to plunk one.
later one of them might have thrown a co2 cartridge into the fire ruining the adventure for time immortal. (but causing one kick ass 'explosion)
i can just now hear the mice's reaction to this thread
"Dude. I just slayed the work bathroom so hard"
:p
1) Seal all external easy access
2) Set traps wherever droppings are found. Use the snap traps. I used the sticky traps for a while and they worked, but for some reason a few pesky mice were able to figure out how to extricate themselves, besides you have to engage in the unpleasant task of drowning the mice with the sticky traps.
A cat is the fucking answer, no spoiled pet shop one either. A nice friendly stray from the humane society is the way to go.
When we moved into our house we had a small mouse problem, our+ very friendly cat took care of it in roughly a week. He never ate them just killed them for sport I guess.
I'll never forget my mom's face when I brought her into the house for the first time and she saw the small pile of three or four dead mice in the kitchen our cat had left for us. Priceless.
even our gimpy, half blind, 11 year old puss catches mice now and again.
teh sulushuns iz clear, srsly:

I just got an absolutely hysterical call from my wife who apparently just went into the house and saw two mice running on our counters.
She's freaking out. Heh.
ALL OUT FUCKING WAR STARTING WHEN I GET HOME!!!
If you're seeing mice in daylight in food prep areas it is definitely time to fire up the Death Star.
My latest issue was animals in my crawl space. There were three raccoons down there and a possum. The possum got trapped inside after the holes were sealed up. We could hear the little bastard scratching around trying to get out all night. Try sleeping with an animal trapped under the floor of your house. Not easy!
WTF?! Chocolate in traps??? No wonder you're catching small children! :eek:
Just hope they don't ski:

GF has a mouse in her apartment I have been hunting the last few days... she's more scared of the mouse than death itself I think...
I 2nd cancelling the exterminator. Sticky traps with a dab of peanut butter in the middle works great! Better than the neck breaker traps. Get lots.
Tracy, that is just wrong. I found a hole in the bottom drawer where the gasline comes up to feed the countertop stove (yes, we're yuppies).
That shit is now plugged with a lifetimes worth of steel wool. It is now trap time...
"To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote."
Don't use a life trap- wife bought one thinking less cruel. It worked but when I looked inside it was like the mouse exploded inside the box. Its blood and a few mice parts.
I went all Rambo during our war on mice and rats. Heard the door under the sink in downstairs bathroom. Suited up with gloves and ski goggles and a piece of metal. Thought I'd bring dog with me. But seeing me go agro before going in scared him so he became a conscientious objector . I guess there was alot of rat screaming.
To paraphrase Biggie
"There is gonna be a lot of soul singing, flower bringing if my mouse traps start springing"
Game fucking on, fools. Let those fuckers die.
dont forget the bleach.....
their filth has been everywhere in your kitchen
Dead is dead. A quick death by broken neck seems better than a lingering death stuck to glue to me. You would be like "Peanut Butter, cool." Then you would be dead.
In the other scenario, you would be like "Peanut Butter, cool, fuck I'm stuck HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME oh fuck I'm screwed, but at least I have time to think about how screwed I am. I guess that is a blessing. FUCK NO IT'S NOT A BLESSSING I'M STUCK AND I'M DYING.
So, my recomendation is the snap traps.
If you disagree, I am willing to experiment on you and whatever family members you can round up for this death experiment extravaganza.
Had a rat infestation at my place. The house is really old with a huge crawl space under it and post & pile construction so no realistic way to seal off all of their access points. They were frolicking in the attic and in the walls, but never came inside the living space, probably because of my dogs. Still, the attic was a nasty mess by the time I realized what was going on and there's probably a lot of rat shit in the walls. They also invaded my garage.
What made this worse was this is some kind of race of super rats, able to set off snap traps and take the bait without getting caught. Also able to foil sticky traps. One night I set out 10 traps and the next morning all of them had been tripped but not one rat. I found a sticky trap upside down about three feet from where I'd set it and no rat in it. Fuckers had dragged it through the dirt upside down, ruining it.
Finally, a guy at my work gave me the solution. Buy a bunch of the snap traps and put them inside a cardboard box. Cut a couple holes in the ends of the box and set the box along a wall or fence line where they run. They may be able to jump fast enough to avoid getting caught in one trap but they will land in another. I arranged the traps in the bottom of the box so there was a pathway into the middle of the box where the baited traps were, unbaited traps were arranged closer to the entrance holes. I had six traps total in one box and it worked like a charm. Caught 5 rats in two days and occasionally still get one out in my garage, but otherwise haven't seen any more since.
Here is a link to a pic of the carnage after the first night.
Mites? More than likely they were fleas. Fleas on rats & mice were the primary agent of bubonic plague infection during the middle ages. Rats & mice carry the disease and they have fleas, fleas bite them then jump off and bite you, transmitting the disease. Flea bites itch like hell and leave a tiny little red welt.
Weak! Why throw out a perfectly good trap, unless you are a girl?
Carry the trap out to the end of your driveway, then pry it open so the mouse falls out. Shake a little if dried blood has stuck the mouse to the trap. The local birds (ravens, magpies, etc.) will learn to look for treats there.
Try to leave the mouse white side up in the summer, brown side up in the winter. The birds find it more easily that way.
Hey, if you really want some fun, drive down to the local strip mall like I did with a live one I caught Sunday, let it our with 40 yards to any kind of cover, and be amazed at how quickly 3 crows show up for a morsel. Poor sucker, screamed bloody agony.
