so?
What a wonderful, pussycat, that it brings fresh meat to share with you.

Fire up the bar-b-cue and get out the buns mother, we're eating good
tonight.


We used to have a cat that would hunt all night, and every morning the
"booty" was lined up in a neat row outside our back door .
Mice, rats, rabbits, moles, shrews......it was funny to see what that cat
could "take down".
The cat would sit behind it meowing proudly
Wife got to the point she wouldn't open the door until I went out first to
clean up the "gifts" LOL

But neither we, or any of the neighbors for miles around ever had varmint
problems g

And during the warm weather we never had to buy one can of cat food.

Only problem with a cat --- and we have two --- is that when they catch a
mouse they like to bring it to you, often at 3am. Look what I caught
mommy... Aren't I wonderful...
As far as dead mice, we had one die in our heating system. There was no
way
to reach it without taking out ducts. Just had to put up with it.
Somewhere
in there is a tiny mouse skeleton...

Mice are all around you. You can trap and trap and trap, but those
little
promiscuous mices are out there making more mice in the meantime.
You
can
take millions of them in traps, and there are billions left.

Get lots of traps. I like the glue traps because they are easier
to
set.
Just a little sad when the little boogers are screaming with their
faces
glued down ................

The poisoned peanut butter idea sounds good, too. And cheaper. And
easier.
And more humane.

Not really.

Have you ever been around a house where poision was used and the mice
die
in the walls or some other space where you can't readily find them .
Mmmmmm the aroma is something else, especially in hot humid weather.


The little buggers not only will get in around the base of the house,
they
can climb right up two floors and go in through the roof eaves too.

It may help to clear ALL debris away from the house for at least 500'
and
keep the grass trimmed low.

And use traps with the springs, that break their cute little necks

But the only real solution,.....get a cat or two.



I second the cat idea. Lived in my house for 5 years. 1st year caught
69
mice in the house. 2nd year caught 52. 3rd year I lost count at 55. 4th
year 62. 5th year caught 9 mice. Which year did I get a cat? 6 of the
9
were caught before we got the cat. I don't believe he has ever caught a
mouse but its his odor that the mice sniff and steer clear.

Otherwise, this is the best mouse trap ever made:

If you get a cat, don't use poison. We lost a great cat because she ate
so many poisoned mice.
