Default Best group i could find sorry..... PESTS

No i don't mean kids but they are pests that's for sure.
Anyway back on topic, I have some unwanted guest in the form of mousetraps
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb...p+-+Twin+pack+
or
http://tinyurl.com/mzqtv3e

had them in the loft and with these and some peanut butter i have got
rid of about 5 or 6, and i thought i was some kind of master pest
controller until last night (2am) I was sitting on the loo reading my
newsfeed and one of the little fu*kers came running along by my feet,
damm good job i was sitting as i **** myself so that solved my
constipation that is for sure.

So just ordered a few more traps but i need to know where the buggers
are coming from and i remember seeing a tv show a while ago where they
put something down and under UV (i think) light showed there little paw
prints, that way i can work out where they have come from, see told you
i was ace pest killer, however we have one problem and that is i don't
have a scooby what it is called, not so hot after all.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me please.

UV light shows the mouse's pee trails. They don't have bladders.

Mice do have bladders but urinate frequently.

That is right, actually they do have bladders of a sort but they are very
small and are used to do scent marking in specific places. Most of the time
their waste products are just dumped wherever they are.

There are two things here. 1, how are they getting in in the first place,
and 2, where is the nest, as they do breed very profusely.
The problem is that if you don't have any idea where it is and you are part
of a semi or terrace then you should really be consulting the neighbours
too. also dead mice after poisoning them which is the next phase, do smell
really badly!

I known rats and mice had small or little used baldders as I went out with a girl that had a pet rat she carried about with her.

My dad having averies new a bit about mice and always used chocolate and burnt it with a lighter/match after setting the traps, seemd to work quite well, he never used cheese. Another advanged of chocolate is that tyuo can also use it to subdue women when you forget birthdays and other lets say important occasions (in their worlds) and bacon worls better on men apparently and peanut button on kids (no that isn't a pedo recipe).
What the site rod posted didn't mention which suprised me was Toxoplasma gondii.
Which in cats can attract mice and rats, it's a rather 'inteligent little parastite that breeds in cats so it wants cats to consume it so when it's in a cat it alters the cats urine smell so mice aren't affraid of the smell.
Can't remmeber the details as I heard about it years ago on a podcast.
It is also said to be in humans (and otters) and is resposnsible for mad cat women as it has a simialar affect on humans as in liking cats excessively as in the mad cat women down the road with 30+ cats.
