mice

I agree. People would rather see them last alive and put them in the garbage than face looking at a dead mouse with his neck mashed in and eyes bulging out!!

yeah thats what im afraid of. If i were a mouse I wouldnt want to end up like that.

Kills the mouse, and you don't have to look at it. Just toss it in the trash when it's full.

Got some in my office at work. Every morning I have to clean up all the meece turds all over my desk. Plant management tells me to deal with it myself. Not their problem. OK, where's my nine?!?! One shot, one kill- unless I can sight two or more lined up...rare though. This one was in my office and ran around trying to get away from me...hiding behind the trashcan, peeking out with those beady little eyes...he beat it out of there and survived by running a random zigzag...

Is that the one that whirls them onto a spike when they set it off? Cool...

Only the most awesome for my house.

I will second this product and give it a +1. You don't want to use poison for a number of reasons, especially if you don't want to smell their rotting corpse in your walls for a couple of weeks (per mouse). I had a similar thread about this a while back. Cats will have a similar effect (or at least in my case, it did). My landlord kept a number of outdoor cats, and every winter he lived on the property with the cats, we'd get dead mice in the walls and above ceiling panels. He moved off the property and took the cats with him, and lo and behold, no dead mouse corpses in the walls since.

Mouse: "Hmmm, dark curvy tunnel...smells like food! Let's see what's on the menu..."

THWACK!

Mouse: "Dude, there's, like, a SPIKE sticking out of my chest! Didn't see THAT one coming!"

Buy the plastic 'Have a Heart' trap. Bait it with peanut butter.
When they get to the end of the trap it tilts and the door closes.

At this point, they are ready to be transported to the home
of your psycho ex g/f for her amusement and pleasure.

Nothing like the thrill of sportsmanlike 'Catch and Release'.

There's your winner. No point killing 'em unless you have to. Put him outside and let an owl do it.

Glue boards are terribly inhumane, which is the opposite of what you want.

Kill it with fire!!!!

Get a cage, it gets caught, go out, open the cage and let it go.

oh, great! so it can multiply, infiltrate other homes, and further aid the spread of disease. great thinking there

rat poison is the poison of choice for this situation

The first time we had a rat, we used rat poison and it wasn't cool. The sucker just slumped around moving real slow for a long while before dying.

So the next time we had a rat problem, I borrowed my friend's pellet gun and got some pointed pellets. No more rat problem.

 

[IconBasser]

yeah, rats make great target practice for pellet and bb guns. I do it whenever we have one.

 

[Jiro]

ahh so many options, the most "humane" one is the 'have a heart' trap...

Thanks guys. I hope this thread turns out to be a good resource for future people with rodent problems!

When you get him, make sure you put his head on a little post as a warning to other mice.

.22 subsonic is my round of choice for Rats!!

Do I have to change my name to Vlad to do that? Or will they get the point?

My little furry nemesis just ran up a heavy cable that goes floor to ceiling in my office and disappeared into the acoustic tile.

I can't bring firearms into the power plant, but they didn't say anything about slingshots! Wrist Rocket, here I come!

I've used these with great success:

Humane. WHAM! Snapped neck, dead.

Conserve something else. The only thing mice are good for is as food for other species and to spread disease.

I've used those, and I find the the über cheap wooden ones work just as well, and they're so cheap, you just throw 'em out with the mice in it.

Come to think of it, the mice underneath the floor in my room have started making noise again, I guess their hibernation time is over...

heehee those are so much fun. I take one with me every time I go camping. *sigh* so many squirrels, so little time. They're also great for keeping cats outta my backyard.

But cats eat mice and squirrels!
