Catching Mice (posts moved from Nitrogen thread)

[oldcarman]

Or how about Air? I very seldom need to adjust the pressure in my tires summer or winter and now my wife's new car tells her when it needs resuscitation. Build me a better mouse trap, then I'll get excited. Mind you the weasel we had living in with us last winter did a smashing job. Hope it visits again this year.

The second mouse always gets the cheese Jim, I would suggest using 2 mouse traps........plus I've heard they don't like coconuts, you could spread these liberally around the property.

Put sticky caramel on as bait, works like a charm.

Will they work in the snow?

Yes, a piece of KitKat works as well...

They do like chocolate Dave, I think all mice must be female
I used Mars bar too just because the caramel makes it more difficult for the little beggars to get it off the trigger.

Yes Tony, we had a couple of mice in the loft, but I originally thought it was one. When I heard the trap went for a look and found one mouse dead but no KitKat bait. Refilled the trap and got the second one a bit later.

We usually use peanut butter, sticks to the roof of their mouth and they for sure spring the trap. I wish I could figure how to get the pics of Pop our weasel that took care of things for us last winter. He'd come within about a foot of us to eat scraps. And get a drink of water Trinity put out for it. That's the second one we've had live with us and not a mouse to be stirring at Xmas.I think we're getting a bit off topic and Gaz is going to shut us down soon!! JIM

I've pared these posts off to their own thread. Interesting discussion by the way...

Bacon guys, I don't know anybody who does not like a bacon butty!

 

[t-tony]

Yeah,but come on Rich,I wouldn't waste bacon on a mouse. Not when it can be wrapped around large shrimp and deep fried ! Sorry been working all day and this talk of food is very distracting.

 

[zedonist]

Bacon wrapped shrimp, that must be the special vampire weapon eh Tony

 

[hard top]

Only with garlic...

 

[t-tony]

Only with garlic mate.

Working Tony, I thought you were on Hols???

 

[t-tony]

I am mate but when you own a villa there's always something to do. Either that or you can pay someone to do it for you.
