Mouse control-electronic

[Bird]

I know I started this thread about 2 years ago, but wanted to give an update. I tried the dryer sheets and though they seemed to work for a while (1-2 months), the mouse returned. I put a couple baited glue traps and the mouse was able to free himself from them. Yesterday I bought a Victor electric trap from Home Depot, the type that uses 4 C batteries and electrocutes the critter when they enter. I put it under my back seat last night. This morning was gifted with a dead mouse. Hopefully he was the only one, but I have reloaded it and put it back in. The trap was $37 plus tax. Worth it for me. I have a pic and will upload when I can.

I've got one of the same trap, but I got it because rats (not mice) tripped my old fashioned spring traps without getting caught. Anyway, it electrocuted 3 big rats outdoors. For some reason, they periodically move in under our patio, but once you kill one, the others move out apparently.

So far caught just the one. Doesn't appear to be anymore activity. Hopefully stays that way.

I have two Haveaheart live mouse traps outside just about 24/7. Catch lots of stuff, usually froze before I get to it. But, I have heard, that is if you walk around your buildings for 24 hours straight and yell ' HEP ' as loud as you can over and over... that will keep them away..... Heard it works for moles, too...!!!!!

I went over to a friend of mines house back in the 90's and his dad (probably 65 at the time) was sitting on a 5 gallon bucket in the yard holding a .22 rifle and the building he was facing had smoke coming out everywhere like it was on fire. I got out of the truck and could hear an engine running, he had put 2 stroke gas in his push mower and had a piece of 4" drier pipe going from the exhaust to the building and was shooting rats when they had enough smoke and had to get out, it was pretty funny and I am guessing he had rat shot in the rifle.
