I have a live catch mouse trap rhat has had success only once, long

Two mice, probably wanted a snug place alone for some strange
reason.

Anyhow, despite changing bait regularly, it doesn't work. Then I
looked

at
the top of the trap and it says, in plain sight, "Catches up to 4
mice".


Now what sane mouse, after reading that, is going to go into that
trap?


Stupid trap makers! The message should say "Free fresh peanut butter
inside". The snap traps work fine, a new victim every week or so.

I think I'll just take a black marker and blot out that trap info.
Shoul

help.


The trap may only catch one fat mouse, or six skinny mice. Maybe they
are unionized mice? If they died in the trap trying washing it with
a bleach solution. Same with a snap trap.


You do remember the genetically enhanced mice trained to read that
escaped from the research lab? The little critters bred with wild mice
and taught them to read. It's caused a lot of problems for the pest
control industry because the mice can research the new pest control
tech by getting on the Internet. ^_^

I'd read about the reading but I didn't know they were on the net too!
However, that explains a lot of Usenet posts in some groups.
