MICE
Little bastids cleaned me outta Dcon in one day. Every box GONE
I seen one day before yesterday. I think I fed the whole building 
In other events I figured out how to fill chipmunk burrows VERY effectively. Leaf blower and p stone. Works pisser. I got a 5 gallon bucket down one hole on Saturday in 5 minutes  Oh and a bit of lacquer thinner and a blow torch on a stick work good too  |

I filled up all the chipmink hole sin my stone wall sunday with concrete.
Mouse traps are out. I think I need to find something better than peanut butter though. The ants seem to like it too.

problem with peanut putter is that they can just lick it off
if ya glue a peanut still in the shell onto the tripper lever then they have to push down on it to release the peanut as they chew the shell.
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 have squirrels in the attic. I promised the misses that I'd try and get a trap before I go up there and shoot it. Anyone have a spare trap and want to deliver it to my house?? No?? Ah well, I tried. Guess I can shoot it now.

Problem with squirrels in the ATTIC is once they have Babies
they are IMPOSSIBLE to keep out and will chew through wire mesh
even .....to get back to their nest. I've seen it first hand.
Also the babies by default if allowed to live will always be House squirrels and won't build nests in trees like a normal squirrel does.
Go get the HAV-A-Heart at home depot JD and spread a
piece of bread with peanut butter then top it off with sunflower seed.
it's either that or put a suet cake in there.... for a buck
because they cannot resist them

Peanut butter, case of beer, pellet gun, and a Saturday afternoon. JK
Peanut butter on the trap works pissa for me ..Mice Rats and squirrels can't help themselves. Takes a week to get them comeing, but after that it's like rodent opium.

no melt peanut butter suet
is better than peanut butter
because it has less oil but more fat
but for us its less toil to just have a Cat
who's allot faster than a mouse or a Rat
now you can go ahead and call me a loon
but i am sticking with my Maine Coon.

i like peanut butter too but I always put some chocolate or an M&M on top of peanut butter as they seem to sometimes luck out and just lick the butter off without the axe coming down.

then you should just use a Reese's peanut butter cup
because they are so shrunken down now they are the perfect size for a mouse

ok WTF I come in this morning and sometime overnight SOMETHING dragged the empty Dcon wedge behind the furnace...about 3'
I would find it hard to believe that could be done by a mouse.
That thing was standing up facing the furnace yesterday afternoon because I looked at it.

Frickin box moved again overnight. It's a foot away now under the furnace. I would not think a mouse was big enough to move a bait wedge like that around. Must still smell the bait residue.

Try this,
I learned "the" trick to spring mouse traps! Use whetever you want for bait. The trick is when you set the trap, place a BB or a small stone in the center under the trap on the bait side. Little mousey sniffs the bait and steps on the trap, it moves and Kapow! Your kill ratio will go up!

The best mouse trap I have ever seen was a wire dome. All the wires went up and then down at the center to form a hole. Kind of like an eel trap. It had a little door on the side. Mouse smells cheese... Climbs up and goes in the hole... Eats cheese but can not get out of the opening because of the wires all pointing down.
Then you can release mouse at your neighbors

Thought,
Bait for the spring trap, wear gloves, use peanut butter and add Decon to to the top like jimmy's on a ice cream. If they get away from the trap, they will die later....
Win win situation

i haven't even begun to trap mice yet
i'm just finishing the construction Phase
then it'll be -> clean up and finishing touches
then -> MOUSE genocide !!!!
the Maine Coon does pretty well
but
i love turning over plywood and stomping them the best.
when most of your clothes have mouse bites on them
i don't even consider being kind to them bastids
