Just had a family of dead mice vacuumed from the "fresh" air vent of my wife's Honda. All's well now, but driving that car was awful for the few days before the vent was cleaned.
Status Update. 2:00 AM.
Heard mouse in kitchen knock over mug in sink. Launched out of bed!!! Ran in.. Turned on lights and stunned the rodent. It ran under my toaster oven. I picked ip a colander. I slowly lifted the toaster and as the mouse ran I slammed the colander on top of him trapping him alive. Then I held my cutting board on the side of the counter and slid the colindar over the board without harming the mouse. Then I let the mouse go... In the toilet. It took 2 flushes to make him go down, but I can report that I released him un harmed.. True to my promise. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
I'm dealing with them for the first time. Thought we had one or two, I've killed 5 in the last two days. Also have squirrels in the attic, but when I put a trap up there, the mice eat all the bait.
Johnny I swear by those white Ortho traps. A little bit of peanut butter down inside the cup. If you really want to break mouseballs then stick a couple sunflower seeds in the peanut butter
They never get that fa
r
pick them up by the handle, dump outside for the fly population then click n reset for the next one. No dirty hands. No sticky crap. No trying to set a trigger. Those things are the jaws of death.
I've been looking for something that will hold multiple mice. It's a huge pain getting into the attic. Been chipping away at ones in the kitchen 2/night.
I mixed up some mouse bait - peanut butter, hulled sunflower seeds, thistle and some crushed peanuts. Seems to be working pretty well so far.

I think I still have a pellet gun over in Newport if you want it, you can borrow it... (assuming I can find it)

i read somewhre once that you can float a small cup full of sunflfower seeds in a 5 gallon bucket so that it is almost sinking... then make a nice dive platform for the mouse to jump off of into the bucket- when the mouse hits the seeds, the SS minnow sinks and leaves him to die a slow drawn out death treading water.
That's more in character.
Why should one be nice to mice, and mean to people?
I know you're an artist, but still - the dichotomy was striking. Only some people are less than vermin and should be treated as such. The others, I think, should be afforded a measure of civility.
Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
