Reply #14: you're unlikely to have ONE mouse [View All]

[Djinn]

Last year we had tonnes of the little plague machines in our walls and kitchen - I had to CONSTANTLY sweep up poo and used buckets of antiseptic all over the place which made the house stink like a hospital (and probably wasn't all that healthy) we tried a supposed "cruelty free" trap - which basically was a sticky thing they walk onto and can't get off - apparently you were supopsed to take them far away from your house pour olive oil onto them and they'd come off - they didn't - you would have had to rip their legs off to get them off and having them looking up at you shitting themselves was too much - next up was normal old fashion traps which worked but couldn't kill enough of them (and my big tough boyfriend decided he felt sorry for them so if the trap sprang on their back or somewhere else that just trapped them and didn't kill them - executing them with a hammer was MY job)

They went away when the weather got warmer - but now it's cooling down again and we've heard them in the walls - I'm calling the mouse Nazi and having the horrible skittering, shitting machines gassed and gassed some more.

I used to be fairly easy going with the odd mouse - but shitloads is another thing - I could happilly kill every mouse in my suburb now!
