just caught a mouse with a glue trap. i went michael vick on it by drowning the critter in the toilet while it was still stuck to the glue board. then i threw it in the mean neighbors yard.
another mouse showed up in my house. i always prefer to snaptrap em, but the sticky thing is so much more effective. but like i said before, the sticky thing makes me sad. but the little bastard eats the peanut butter right off the snap thing and gets away. if i get desperate i will go with the sticky thing but i will feel terrible about it.
I used a snap trap & killed 2 in last few weeks, one in kitchen, one in garage. Used basic yellow cheese but you must stuff it into the "eating trip thingie" and spread some around. This leads it in and it gets careless trying to get the last bits of cheese out. Quickly put the mouse & trap in a solid bag and throw it in the outside trash so you don't have to look at it. I hold the trap over the ditch behind the house and use a screwdriver to release it. I've used the same trap many times, although they're cheap to replace.
I think those glue traps are an answer some had about getting mice out of the house in a humane manner. Nothing in life is foolproof and when your going after big game you have to have the ability to impact those buggers in the most personal way possible. Respect your opponent, never under estimate their cunning and aptitude for survival. In my neck of the woods we were invaded by a herd of rats and before we could organize we lost 2 cows and a German Sheppard. This is my plea, hit em hard, show no mercy, remember if they get the upper hand they won't worry themselves on taking you out humanely. Be strong. That is all.
just found one drowned in my dogs water bowl (in the garage) last week. so maybe you should just put out a bowl of water.
You have to go at them full force. Use all the methods...bait, snap trap, glue pad. As far as the snap trap goes, if they eat the peanut butter and it doesn't snap just bend the copper gizmo slightly so that it snaps easier. They set the copper gizmo like that at the factory so idiots can set them. Just watch your fingers and set the trap in place. If you still can't rid yourself of mice or rats just PM Nutriaitch. He'll fly up to NY and eradicate the whole building for free...well almost. Just tell him you'll pay him $1 a tail like they do for the real swamp rats. It also helps If you tell him they're real good in a fricassee or sauce picante!!!! Nootch comes from a long line of trappers so he won't stay in a hotel...he prefers a camp or a blind in the basement!!!! :hihi:.
