Mice

[zoltanthegypsy]

New recipe?
Relish in dead mice?

Dang, should have thought of that. Got one in the compost a while back the size (no bleep) of a house cat. Could have stuffed it along with tomorrow's turkey...

There are videos of people in Asia doing a big business in Rats. Riding a Bike to market with cages pile high with Rats. The the reataurant owner drowns them and starts chopping them apart, but one is still moving, chop, chop, chop, some laughing and no more movement. Then the kids come to eat on the patio, whatever Rat dish they ordered!

Mice need to Die!! No good has ever come from them!! I have NO problem killing every one of the Flea carrying Bastards!!

Cute? Kill them!!! They will cause you nothing but grief!! Little Sh*ts ate the wiring on my Antique car!! No problem, wiring for a 50 year old British Vehicle is easy to come by!!

I buy Victor Snap Traps by the Dozen and use them!! A little piece of a MilkyWay bar is the BEST bait!!

I relish in each dead Mouse!!

( for the record, Im NOT into killing anything else, I actually take spiders outside!)

Victor's are the good old standby, for sure. At properties where I am not there most of the time I have come to favor "sticky traps" as being much better. I do not have to bait them, they do a side job of catching bugs and other creepy critters too, and they are so easy to toss out and replace. Way easier to deal with than trying to re-bait Victor traps that only sometimes work. In an old farmhouse I do have to use tiny nails and nail the sticky traps to the floor to avoid finding them dragged back under furniture and into hard to reach places. Each nail gets reused by pushing a new sticky sheet down over the same nail after getting rid of the old one.

Relatively cheap in bulk packages on-line.

Outside in the shop I still prefer poison.

The suggestion to raise the hood on a tractor or any vehicles is correct. Rats like a dark place to store food or any thing to make a nest. Clean out the nest/debris and wash down the area with pine sol cleaner/water with a squirt bottle. The most effective thing to do is to leave a light on under or near the hood of the vehicle. This has worked for me for the past 5 years.

Moth balls and dryer sheets don't work. A great resource on mice and rats is Shawn Woods on Youtube - he tests traps and repellents every week. Shawn Woods

He does say in the video that moth balls might prevent them from nesting around them, but it won't stop them form coming to grab a quick bite.

Based on some of the other videos, I will be adding mint oil, which he seems to have good results.

are you rich enough to pay for the damage caused by mice and rats to your fellow Humans though?. if so, then it's good it was taken off the market, but someone HAS to pay for the Damage!..

no I'm not rich enough to pay for everyones problems, buy I have paid plenty for my own problems with mice. Lost a 2003 anniversary Corvette convertible with 6k miles on it to mice. Had to put a new heater box, blower and venting in my Cat 246 due to mice, had to replace a motor in my sander due to mice, ....a few other problems over the years as well... but if I had poisoned them and one of my dogs ever ate that poisoned mouse..and got secondary poisoning... I would not be even remotely worth killing the mouse that way. ..Im certainly not a tree hugger, but I do have a soft spot for defenseless animals / critters.

Birds love to nest under smaller aircraft cowlings.
One trick tried by many pilots was to leave a toy rubber snake on top of the cowling.

Once built a large stable for a client and rodents were usually a major headache due to the feed.
As a precaution I inserted a bag of rodent poison in every stud space varying brands as we went along.
They reported that it worked very well.

I leave my 290 year old house unoccupied for 6 months each year.
Thus.....traps are not an option for me.
Poison it is......and plenty of it,..... positioned everywhere!

I have 3 outside cats that keep the property clear of mice, moles and squirrels. Only problem is that cats like to walk on our cars since we don't have a garage.
