Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I'm a night owl, and for the past month or so I heard "rodent noises" from my kitchen area.  Scurrying, squeaking and gnawing.  My girl wouldn't let me put down poison b/c we have a dog so I was hoping they'd just go away.

wishful thinking.

Finally bought some traps and bait this past week.  Two traps are your standard spring loaded ones - but before I put those down, I got one that had the poison inside a plastic "maze" if you will.  Motherfucker ate the poison in one night.  6 nights later I was still hearing him.

Tonight I put down the spring loaded ones with peanut butter.  No joke, 30 minutes go by and SNAP! I check the trap... no mouse, but not much peanut butter either.  Motherfuckers!  I check the other trap... only 1/4 the peanut butter and it didn't even snap!!??!  But the hard part was done, I knew where this asshole was poking around.

Two more attempts and SNAP!  I open the cabinet under my sink.  GOT EM'  This was a nasty kill, but probably I doubt this guy suffered.  It was a clean head shot.  His brains were bashed in pretty good.  It was kinda gross to clean up.  About an hour later I heard squeaking from the kitchen again.  THERE ARE TWO OF THEM!!!

A couple hours go by, I go out for a snack.  Come back and I just had a feeling I got the other one.  And I was right.  This one I felt pretty bad over, worse than the first.  His tail was still moving a bit, but he was pretty fucking dead.  I think I snapped his neck or his upper back.  Well not me, the trap, but you know what I mean.

I think I'll use my extra hour to keep watch, see if there are anymore.  I'm a little worried they might be in the walls...

Anyone else have any good rodent/pest stories?

Poor fucking mice.

Yeah dude, how can you kill those poor defenseless things?

You monster.

msaxl to the rescue!!! Where's your cat? Sounds like it could be pretty serious though, you caught quite a few in a short time.  Bought a new home last year on about 7 acres, the little guys liked coming in my garage while open, so I first started with my 23lb bangle kitty, he was a great help, but not enough.  Rather than resorting to the nasty, messy traps we did some research and found what you call the "Pest A Cator 2000" :yes:.  This device literally plugs into your electrical outlet.  It has a pulse/ultrasonic waves it sends through walls.  It operates continuously, and begins working within days, so they say you may see an increase in activity during initial clean up period.  Cost for one about 25 dollars and covers about 2000 sq ft.  Additional units are suggested for larger single level areas or multiple story structures.  Does it or did it work?  I no longer have any :o.  Try it and see!!

among the worst animals ever, right up there with cats, probably worse..

anyway u know rats produce like hell so u might already have ten more under the kitchen sink..  :-\

are they from mars?

We've been here about 7 years now and only have 1 mouse story.  One day I saw a mouse in the garage.  I was a bit disgusted...I ran upstairs to get my bb gun...came back down and was ready to try and shoot it...but it ran.  I bought a pack of 3 traps and set 'em up.  It was dead within a couple days...

It seems that mice are attracted to grass seed.  I had a 50 pound bag about half full of grass seed.  My wife discovered the hole that it ate through with the bag, and since she's even more freaked out by mice, she through the whole rest of the bag AND THE GRASS SEED! in the trash.  A bit of a waste, but it made her feel better.  Happy wife happy life.  :)

I have 4 cats and a dog so mice don't stand a chance.

Too bad it is the cats who bring mice IN the house- then they play with them. It is up to me to catch them.

I do the catch & release - the dog catches the mouse & I take the mouse away from the dog and put the mouse in the front yard to escape.

well they were mice, but yeah, they reproduce just as much I'm sure.  I'll probably lay down a few more traps just to make sure.  The key will be finding the holes in the walls/cabinets they are coming in through.

bastards!

Plug the holes with steel wool they cannot knaw through it

What was I thinking with my bb gun?  I should have pulled a Palin, rented out a chopper and shot it from the sky!  :hihi:

Saw a mouse, jumped up on the fucking table and screamed like a bitch.

My dog Princess the Chiawahwah or however the fuck u spell it, killed that bastard a day or so later.

D, this post cracked me up on so many different levels.  The fact that you were honest and the mouse scared the shit out of you and then the fact that your dog named "Princess" is the one who took care of it  :hihi: hehe.  My dog is a huge wuss, he'll hear the squeaking and not even go near the kitchen.  big baby!  :hihi:

First time I saw a mouse in my house it kinda freaked me out too, moreso b/c its just gross to think of them running all over the place.

So far no noises from the kitchen tonight.  I think they're all dead.... for now.

Hil-Dog, just make sure your place is totally clean.  No crumbs, no dirt, no grass seed, nothing.  If there's nothing to eat, you'll never have a problem again.....unless D's gerbils break outta there cages!  In that case don't worry though, they're harmless...de-clawed of course.  :hihi:

its not my place I'm so worried about, its our neighbors and the backyard behind us. 

Gerbils?

U are the one with PVC pipe lying around :hihi: :hihi:   see if anyone gets that

We had a dog and still used poison. Just put in cabinets and non-open areas where the dog couldn't eat it. Mice were dead real quick. Found out cuz we would see teeth marks in our chip bags and cereal boxes. Fuckin little fuckers, eating my chips and shit. So just put some poison next to the chips (and elsewhere) and they didnt know what hit em.  :rofl: :smoking:

A4P, I knew you liberals were a sick bunch, but letting a gerbil run up your asshole, now that is sick. 

By the way, Decon poison is awesome and they die in the woods looking for water.  Great stuff.  I had an issue and in a few days, I didn't have an issue anymore.

South Park?

Now that sounds awesome.  I was worried with the poison I'd come home to dead mice all over the apartment.  I'll have to check it out.  Would be nice to get some poison and chuck it behind the fridge and put in some cabinets and not have to think about it anymore.

Pretty sure there is at least one more fucker in the apt.  Heard some stuff tonight.

High_times, I hear you about the food.  Oddly enough, they haven't chewed through any of our boxes, but they LOVE to gnaw at empty bags and what not. 

^ I think all rat poisons work that way. They usually go out of the apartment looking for water.

I'm telling you guys, the pest a cator is the best, no dead mice, they can't stand the ultrasonic waves the little device gives off, they will all leave and ones from outside don't want to enter.  If your neighbors have a crappy yard, it could be an on going issue for you. ???

They love peanut butter.

when we're talking of gerbils..

One time my cousin Walter got this cat stuck up his ass. True story. He bought it at our local mall, so the whole fiasco wound up on the news. It was embarrasing for my relatives and all, but next week, he did it again. Different cat, same results, complete with another trip to the emergency room. So, I run into him a week later in the mall and he's buying another cat. And I says to him, "Jesus, Walt! What are you doing? You know you're just gonna get this cat stuck up your ass too. Why don't you knock it off?" And he said to me, "Brodie, how the hell else am I supposed to get the gerbil out?" My cousin was a weird guy.

S Guns, I was joking buddy.  D is not into gerbils, everybody knows his deal is sheep.  :hihi:

Just be careful Hil-dog if you ever have kids visiting.  Never ever put poison down "and forget about it."  Your best bet is to take away all food sources...that, along with old-fashioned mousetraps (that you check on daily) will do the trick.   :peace:

If this is the mouse you are dealing with you're screwed

you dont fuck with these guys.

cause its time to rock, and ride.

mother fucking biker mice from mars  : ok:

Okay, extra credit for the next pic:  tit-mouse.

well, in sweden mouse is called mus and that's a common nickname for pussy (vagina:P)

Now how backwards is that.

You guys compare flanges to mice.

Yet the common comparison is to that of a cat.

We got a solar powered one for outdoors that are supposed to deter rats and squirrels. Big joke. We put it by the bird feeder. The squirrels climb over it to get to the seeds on the ground. No effect on rats either. Only solution was to take the food away. When we did that, the rodents left. At least they are rational.

Ya that was the other thing we did was to put up all the animals food, meaning the bags of it, still leaving their everyday feeding dishes in garage, still no more mice.  No one here seems to interested in the pest a cator 2000, but I'm tellin ya it works.

good points, the dog food/water bowl i'm sure aren't helping keeping the little fuckers away.

and the dog is the biggest pussy in the world.  he is useless against them  :hihi:
