And this particular meece is smart; he won't touch the d-con pellets.
Also, he was able to eat the peanut butter on the mouse trap, without tripping the trap. Two consecutive nights. Is this a Super Meece? What to do, what to do?? |

Get the tray with the sticky glue and put some peanut butter on it. The
mouse will stick to it and than you will need to "dispose" of the mouse as there is no way to remove him without injuring to release. Amy "Jack" wrote in message ...

we use a sticky trap rat sized with attractant scent built in [peanut
butter] in a cardboard covered box placed against the baseboard with entry and exit holes at the baseboard edge. the box will discourage most well fed older dogs but the cat will want to stick his paw in the box. the sticky trap will reduce his chances of getting away and stinking up your house [like when he dies from eating dcon] in a wall or unreachable space. |

This is Turtle.
There is two way to get rid of rats in Louisiana. 1 Get you some real rat poison and take the package and don't open it and put the package where you think he can't get to it somewhere in a closet or behind stoves. the harder it is to find, the more he will eat of it. If he has to open it , he thinks you did not want him in it. Rat eat Decon for a Party mix as a Snack food ! 2 Take a sticky mat and take a small piece of Bacon and burn it with a match to almost nothing at all. Then put the mat with the bascon in the middle of it is a place where you would think you was tring hide it from him. the next morning he will be in it. 1 or 2 here will work. TURTLE |

Go to your local shelter, pound, or human society and adopt a cat. An
adult cat that has been neutered or spayed already would be great, since older cats have trouble finding homes. All cats will fix your mouse problem real fast, and make for a great friend too!

Theory has it that they get really thirsty and run outside for water. Or else they jump into your toilet, so keep the lid down. Or not. When we had mice I set the traps in little paper bags. If I saw a tail sticking out of the bag I just took the whole thing outside and put it in the trash. I started doing this after one got caught only by its nose and jumped at me when I started to pick up the trap. -- Cheers, Bev ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++ "Rats cry when they hear about my life." -- Dilbert |

One of my uncles was painting the fence over a year ago
and came in to wash his hands and didn't close the door tight.. I saw the mouse sneak under the dishwasher.. I turned on the dishwasher and the heat and magnetism killed the little bugger..

My wife let a mouse in the house too. It took over two weeks to get rid
of it. Glue traps work BUT you need the kind that is pheremone-baited, one for males and the other for females (we got the one-size fits all, which was a compromise). You have to think like a mouse to know where to set these. I placed them underneath and behind baseboards, where they hide. You can imagine how tedious this was. Pistachio nuts were the bait- we don't eat peanut butter in our house. Peanut butter attracts ants. By the second week, the wife was getting desperate and was about ready to hire a professional exterminator. My cheapness and intransigence finally won out. This saved me $150 but what a nuisance and annoyance. The little pest left a lot of feces in the kitchen, and that was where I set the traps. Rest in hell, filthy rodent. Good luck to the homeowner. I can sympathize. |

About a decade ago, there was a big animal rights brouhaha in Holland because they did a show on how the ancient Romans cooked. So they took a doormouse by the tail, dunked it in a goblet of wine so it wouldn't feel a thing and then roasted it by the tail over an open flame. This is was before the advent of Bubonic Plague. Perhaps it was even the cause. - = - Vasos-Peter John Panagiotopoulos II, Columbia'81+, Bio$trategist BachMozart ReaganQuayle EvrytanoKastorian ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

vegetable oil on the sticky stuff, it would let go. I'm pretty sure it was in the instructions. Jack, if you do this, remember to do it outside. And rather far away from your house. They're vermin for pity's sake, do not release them. |

Also, he was able to eat the peanut butter on the mouse trap, without tripping the trap. Two consecutive nights. Is this a Super Meece? What to do, what to do?? First, decided which is more of a problem: the mouse or the spouse. If the mouse let the spouse in, get a cat (Bengal tigers are nice). Spouse traps are heavy and the bait tends to be expensive (but diamonds work well). Be sure you don't get trapped yourself. There are plenty of ways for a mouse to get in that doesn't require them to be "let" in (I've seen them get in under closed garage doors, up the garage door and into the attic, and from there it's not hard for them to get into the house near furnace and A/C ducts.
