CARNAGE!

4 days without anything moving. This morning there's dcon across a 3' area, the sticky bait trap/dcon combination is under a pallet holding a tool cabinet and it's well over 2' away from where it was.

And the thing is empty.

WTF!

Skippy you saw how this was setup. That little black thing next to the dcon box is the glue trap sticking up in the air under the pallet.

Just walked outside and there was one gray mouse sitting in the parking lot like he just dropped from exhaustion. Thing was fresh dead too.

I still can't believe a mouse could do this much.

don't forget that little bastard was snickering at us the other day, he was a true gladiator mouse!

thats a poisoned mouse leaving to die so don't
let anything else eat it because they'll die too

I just found out the mice in my barn was carrying the Dcon pellets away and storing them for future use. They didn't eat right away, WTF, WTF. I think I'll buy some traps, small and large, might be a squirrel as well eating the stuff.

So today is the first day again that anything has moved. All the Dcon spilled around the pallet is now gone.

GREAT I don't have to sweep the floor now :hee:

Tomorrow we trap :devil2:

Perhaps you should try to become one with the mouse? Learn its ways adapt its customs, gain its trust. Maybe then you be able to succeed in crushing his skull.

gotten to the point I have to put a trap in my truck now. I only drive it maybe once every 2 weeks this time of year now and somehow mice are getting in there . Had nice nest in the glove box last winter. I got one this morning in the trap, DOA on the passenger floor. 1 down more to go i would expect.

LOL Mike, you want me to balance the trap on a BB after holding
my breath that I won't loose a finger while just setting it. :huh:
That would be a 2 valium job for me. :hihi: :D

i was just reading that a small ball of cotton
with some peppermint oil on it will drive mice
out of anywhere they might be encroaching....

Paul ,
you must have a rust hole some where on that truck
that's allowing them to get in.

My wife (who is a neat freak to say the least) opened her glove compartment last winter and there was a mouse. She lost it!! She never has any food or crumbs in there so she was and I were at a loss. Good thing she was in the driveway and not actually driving. I took care of it, and checked under the hood as I couldn’t figure out how it could have got in. I noticed a nest tucked up under engine area that I couldn’t get access to. She had to have some routine maintenance done anyway and when I brought it to our mechanic he said, “oh yea, Camry’s get them all the time”. He was working on one the previous day and a mouse jumped out. He told me that they go to the engine first for the heat and they eventually find their way to the media filter where they chew through it and get access to the inside.

Traps haven't even been touched. It's like whatever it is comes around once a week :confused:

Best mouse trap is the one sold at true value for 21 bucks...
i first freaked on the price but later found it was worth every penny when ya catch 6 at a time....

i've even left it outside after a mouse died in it (just skin and bones) from me not checking it...........
and the mice still went in there because a moldy old piece of suet cake (for the birds) was still in there.

I am so impressed with this trap..... i'm buying another one

again i caught a mouse in it then drowded the little sh1t in the cellar washroom sink and sorta forgot about it until it got a lil ripe so i put it out on the back lawn empty and sprayed out with the hose of mouse skin and bones...there was a very thin film of fat coating the metal floor from suet cake in there as bait....

and son of a gun i caught two more mice in it that night....

last night i caught the PINK PANTHER mouse that's been diggin up my corn and sunflower plants.... what an EASTER GIFT !
his body is on the sacrificial Alter awaiting pick up. :btu:

Raven 05-14-2011 10:52 AM

Finlander 05-26-2011 11:23 AM

Last night I'm going by the truck and see something move, stop and look and have a mouse watching me through the plastic grill up by the windshield. Pop the hood and 4 of them little bastards running around. Took my shoe off and got 3 out of 4 of them. Have been fighting them in both boat, worst spring for nice I've seen.

Raven 05-26-2011 01:51 PM
