I just found a dead mouse on my kitchen counter...The poison is working, but it's not exactly convenient.

I actually caught several mice in a kitchen before by taping a piece of thin cardboard to the counter that extended out over the floor. I put a glob of peanut butter out on the end of it and a large empty trash can under it. They would venture out for the PB, the cardboard would bend and drop them in the trash can!

Admittedly, this trapping method is not very convenient either, but it is good for a laugh. Just make sure to use a tall trash can, you'd be surprised how high those suckers can jump!

It was the Indianapolis Children's Museum. I think that locator beacons with a GPS is a good idea if you have multiple kids. Also, it amazed me how many people seem to think its everyone else's job to watch their kids so they could talk to somebody

Um yeah, they **** me off a LOT worse than the misbehaving kids.

I, for one, actually care about my child and wouldn't dare let him out of my sight in that mad house...A place like that is a kidnapper's/child molester's wet dream.

Did you use an outdoor trash can? I've seen a mouse clear ~3 feet before.

Buy a real mouse trap for goodness sake....there is nothing better than hearing the snap of the trap and breaking the little bastards neck

Whats up people!!

I saw an older mouse trap once that seemed pretty cool. It was a miniature cannon with a splatter shield that would kill the mouse from the concussion. There was no projectile, just concussion from the powder going off.

I don't know what it was called and can't find a picture for the life of me.

It was taller than 3 feet, but not by much.

Maybe, but can a spring trap catch 5 mice in one night without doing anything else to it?

No kidding, I got up one morning and had 5 of the little buggers in there!

Not sure I'd want to use a trap that required a splatter shield. Sounds messy...and kinda loud!

Well hi HK!

its really not messy, its more or less to help with the concussion and keeping the mouse close. Its a little bigger than the little cannon you have, but not by much.

There is no projectile so there isn't really a mess. It'd be like a flashbang going off next to your head.

Well hi HK!

Hi ya Supr! I only had one mouse this year! caught him early!!

I believe that is the time you look at how they are getting in and maybe invest in an exterminator.

Before recently, I had no idea that they scramble to get out of the trap for 20-30 seconds before they run out of air or bleed out.

I always thought it killed them instantly.

 

[HandK]

Of course I don't have too many problems with mice because of our cat!!

I believe you are right. That was a long time ago in a different house and a different life.

Hey Gary do you have a Beretta PX4 Storm or a Beretta 96 (92 would work as well)

 

[Benny]

OK fellas, I'd really like to have 5 golds before the end of the day...Can my PW friends make that happen?

 

[HandK]

Actually it is because of this little guy that we don't have mice in the house! they smell them and won't stay in the house!
