the mouse trap is set
- Thread starter antaeus
- Start date
At the cottage I use a clothes hanger (cut it and use the long, straight bottom piece, punch small holes in the side of the bucket so you can thread it through), the cardboard center from a toilet paper roll, and peanut butter. Kills the little fuckers good, all night long.

mouse bisque - a delightful combination of festering deceased rodent, rodent excrement, and rodent urine
Also avoids hearing a loud "SNAP!" in the middle of the night, or having to clean up the blood splatter in the morning.

Cool.
I'll bet this guy could catch Bin Ladin !!
The liquid is just water. The mice swim around until they tire, then drown. I've never seen one still alive. Since they can't get out of the bucket, if you did find one alive, just take it outside somewhere far from your place, and dump it. I usually dump the dead mice in the bush just outside, and they disappear pretty soon after (raccoons, cats, birds, etc). So they are recycled into the circle of life. Ha, an environmentally friendly mousetrap.
Rats, I have no idea if it would work for them. If the water were deep enough, they probably couldn't tread water forever either though.

At the cottoge you're probably killing perfectly nice Deer Mice rather than nasty house mice. Deer mice can carry one of the Hantaviruses, but that's a fairly rare risk, and they have such great big eyes.CapitalGuy said:
round 1 goes to team rodent.
stuck his nose out from under the cabinets, kinda cute little guy.
ignored my offering of parmagiano reggiano, low bred bastard. Bread and peanut butter will be his last meal, dead mouse walking.
He will swim in his own blood.

Get some sticky mous pads at the big box hardware store, and place a small piece of bread with peanut butter on it. In the morning you will see one or more customers on the sticky paper.
