mouse in my house

[mazzgolf]

Poison's out - I don't want them dying in my attic insulation  I'll see how these snap traps work out.

BTW: skinning a mouse - that would be fun to see -- What's the market on the fur?  A nickel for the top grade?

It doesn't matter how they got in, they will always find a way.

 

 

Set out 4 glue traps Caught one put on a glove to pull it off 1/2 the body stayed on it talk about super glue. Don't care about poisons in-house when they die in the walls. Decon outside ok. but that will also poison anything that eats the Mouse Catch 22.   Like stan says you will always have them prevention is the best.

I had found a nest in my cars air filter... cleaned it out. My truck had one in the blower Motor. Easy fix and that’s clean now and luckily still works. I plugged a fire wall hole Saturday and mechanic and me gave the truck a tune up. Well Sunday afternoon I go to take it for a ride and have a field mouse on my dashboard board. Couldn’t get him out so I set 3 traps in the truck. By 5pm I got him... so I thought. I look this morning and the snap trap had another one in it. I rebaited and checking them all week till I’m sure they are gone

I thought of that  But I only own two cameras, and both are out - and one is on public land that I don't expect to ever see again

I have two regular o' snap traps already set up there, and I just bought a few glue traps I'm gonna put up there. I'll be sure to post pix of my first trapping success after obtaining my trapping license

I've set thousands of mouse traps, but they still startle the crap out of me when they go off in my hand. lol

You really need to seal up around the house to stop them from coming in. It could be tricky.

Steel wool in every gap you can find.

I've used the bucket trap in my barn, using a 2 liter soda bottle as a roller. I crushed them!
