incognito Posted October 10, 2012 Jeez eg harden the fuck up. I feel sorry for ur cat, let it do what cats do. Get fleas and worms... Sheesh! Ur totally impeding the laws of nature mAn. My sister has the most legendary cat called...wait for it.... Killer. He loved killing things in the house from a young age. His kills of gargantuan rats are legendary. He leaves the heads of his kills in front of the fireplace as trophys and evidence. This cat hypnotizes mice. He will sit At the fridge and stare under it when he knows there's a mouse under there, sometimes for hours. The. The mouse walks out right up to killers head and he smashes them. He's one of them cats that will get talked about yrs after he dies. He has even dragged a badly mutilated yet still kicking king brown into the house, which he played with until my sister freaked right out And called the local cop to come get rid of it. Awesome cat. If u want for a small fee I will express post him so he can sort ur mouse situation and teach German cats how to GROW A SACK ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted October 10, 2012 Its not only that. My gf´s has some degus what are some kind of chilenian Guinea Pigs and if i let the cat in the kitchen, it will most likely kill em too. Last time the cat sneaked into the kitchen, it attacked them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incognito Posted October 10, 2012 Move the guinea pigs into another room and let nature take its course. I really think if u don't let ur cat kill this mouse it will fuken hate you. Forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
at0m Posted October 10, 2012 Incog, you're assuming the cat isn't a lazy shit and will actually catch the mice My cat that lives at my father's place will catch and or fight anything outside. Inside though, it doesn't want it. It will often bring them in alive and leave them. Not half alive, completely a-ok bar a puncture wound or two. The cat down at my mother's place won't/can't catch things. It's a horrible excuse for a cat. Adorable, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nabraxas Posted October 11, 2012 we had mice in our bedroom in a house in London. every night the little pests would wake us up running round the walls. one time i bought a half ounce ov Moroccan pollum home. we had dinner, had a completely legal herbal spliff or two & crashed out w/out taking the dinner plates to the kitchen. Leaving them stacked in the middle ov the bedroom floor w/the lump ov hash sitting next to it. In the morning we found the block ov completely legal herbal hash had gone. In the evening we found the mice had gone to, & they never came back. Edited by Moderator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted October 11, 2012 Alright guys, operation DANGERMOUSE started with a complete und undeniable failure so i guess i´ll call it OPEARTION RED MOUSE STRATOS next time. Mouse cleaned ALL the three Traps by licking them totally clean WITHOUT triggering any one of them. Its actually the Mouse from PARANORMAL ACTITVITY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incognito Posted October 11, 2012 Okay. Get some cheese. Melt it on to the trap trigger with a lighter. Set it fine as. Orrrr buy some mouse poison? Seriously eg u cannot let a mouse get the better of you. It's sad to read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solomon Posted October 11, 2012 Are the degu very agile? Maybe it was them and not rats or mice. +1 for letting the cat handle it, keep it simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted October 11, 2012 If it was the Degus, they are Jailbreak Specialists. They have a huge 2 x 2 meter selfbuild Wooden Cage that looks like Fort Knox for Bad Rats. They cant get out. Unfortunately, the cat knows how to open it so i cant take the cage somewhere the cat is. What makes it impossible for me to bring the case somewhere else and let the cat in the kitchen unwatched. Set it fine as. Orrrr buy some mouse poison? Seriously eg u cannot let a mouse get the better of you. It's sad to read. Swore to never use poison in my house and that wont change. Saw a dog die from snailcorn recently and it wasnt fun. I may have lost one battle but i will win the war. I still have one secret trump in my hands but i hesitate to use the hunting crossbow i recently got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J Smith Posted October 11, 2012 If they're eating peanut butter off the trap that either means the trap is too big or the mouse is too small. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000LS57UE bait a live catch trap like this one with peanut butter. Make sure it locks in place though if it trips, I've had some dodgy ones that don't stay shut. (null) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incognito Posted October 11, 2012 All the tips u wanna give will not stop my uber mouse. He's been instructed to continue the carnage until my warn point is lifted, upon which date he will return home to Australia, and receive the kg of cheese and little mouse bitches that I promised him.

DarkSpark Posted October 11, 2012 Don't buy one pest(cat) to get rid of another pest(mouse) you will regret it especially if its girl cat and all the boys start coming around to climb over everything. My problems are from the geckoes. The little buggers climb all over my cacti shelves chasing bugs, flattening seedlings and knocking seedling pots(cut up trays into individual pots over) I dont know how to keep the acrobatic little buggers out either as they can fit through just about any gap and they are helping keep the bugs out a bit at least. I am thinking of making a shelving system out of steel mesh flyscreen stuff with steel framing to allow heaps of airflow and light in still but keep anything that cant fit through flyscreen mesh out. I think it might be a pretty good idea. edit: I like catching mice on those sticky paf things. fun to watch the bastards still struggling to get free in the morning. I feel the amount of torture they recieve whilst being stuck is about equal to that inflicted on our cupboards, plants etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndianDreaming Posted October 11, 2012 This style of mouse trap - combined with a tiny amount of peanut butter work every time for me. There's a circle of small dots on the trigger tab inside - no amount of nimble mouse tongue action can clean those off completely without it snapping them. As a bonus, it's a clip, so you don't have to touch the little vermin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anodyne Posted October 11, 2012 Alright guys, operation DANGERMOUSE started with a complete und undeniable failure so i guess i´ll call it OPEARTION RED MOUSE STRATOS next time. Mouse cleaned ALL the three Traps by licking them totally clean WITHOUT triggering any one of them. Its actually the Mouse from PARANORMAL ACTITVITY. See if you can set the trap so that it will be set off more easily? i.e. on the regular kind, try to set it so the end of the wire is like half a millimetre from slipping out and releasing the spring, rather than several mm. Other ways to make things harder for them are melting cheese on to the plate, or tying the bait onto it with a piece of string (it's still best to use something sticky like a sultana and smear it on there good). If they're not going for the bait at all (rodents are suspicious of new things in their environment), try luring them in with a "trail of breadcrumbs" kinda deal - put some tiny crumbs of cheese or peanut or whatever on the floor around the trap. Then, when they've got a taste for it and go for the motherlode, BAM! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkSpark Posted October 11, 2012 Set a couch up opposite the traps and slingshot some playdoh, berries, pellets at it. Might kill him directly, might set off the trap. Either way you get the satisfaction of having dealth the finishing blow on supermouse with your own hands! Downside, depending on ammunition it could be messy, or end up with plaster needing replacing :D oh and love the russian with the auto shotguns a few classic quotes "worst case scenario youcan poke someone with it and fuck their shit up" "keep in mind, dont try this at home i am a professiopnal russian" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerbil Posted October 12, 2012 If you've had an ongoing problem, and no doubt see one into the future, can't use things like snakes or shooting rat shot etc, it might be worth investing in an electric trap. I remember an article here recently about rodent immunity building to baits and their ability to work snap traps. Yes they can even get peanut butter without setting the trap off, or will set the trap off and then eat the bait. Fuse wire can be good for tieing down bait, but they can still work the trap. I'm sick of the snap traps in the context of, -not setting it off and getting the bait -setting the trap off and getting the bait -essentially skinning their heads/noses and escaping from a close call while working the trap and just being in agony, dazed and crying. -having their face caught in the trap, but still very much alive, an incredibly fucked situation. Due to constraints on my preferred method, I invested in the 'taipan' electric trap (battery operated), an australian made device which was modeled on other designs and 'improved' upon apparently. Feed station at the end, with two metal base plates, walks onto the first plate and just before it gets to the feed station it touches the second plate connecting the circuit resulting in theoretically instant electrocution. But not to say that is fool proof, if they are wary of most things, they will probably avoid this too. The video on the site shows that it's a really quick death, I can't guarantee it, but to me it seems like a better option that the snaps or baits. Suggestions like the bucket method I think are great if it works, though I guess it depends on how confident you are to the dispatch them after that. The old drowning traps are fucked imo, a swift blow to the head (easier said that done) much preferred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted October 12, 2012 I use cage traps for rats and mice [different sizes]. That way i can dispatch them the way i want to rather than them suffering for hours [my fave method is ether or chloroform, but CO2 will do too and is much easier to obtain]. I file the trigger on the traps to have different sensitivities, so even the most careful mouse will set off the smooth ones. But the smoother the trigger the more false triggers you get from wind or rodents knocking from the outside. If you get a careful nibbler you can make a hard treat that is melted onto the trigger. Just use pure beeswax and other yummy stuff like bacon and cracked grain and let a warm lump set hard around the trigger. They'll pull and push until it gets set off.

Khala Posted October 12, 2012 Something that works great for mice is this...just pop a little food in the bottom, they fall in and don't have to suffer broken bones etc. and you can do what you will with them, perhaps CHCl3 as T suggested... I've heard people killing them using tinned butane and just popping a good spritz or two in a jar with the mouse and closing the lid, never done it myself. I've never had a mouse problem and couldn't bring myself to do them - made and used the bottle trap before though, just released the little fellow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sallubrious Posted October 12, 2012 I had a mouse problem and the normal traps weren't working so I got a few of these and caught heaps of the bastards The mouse goes in and the trap tilts to close the door and the mouse is caught. You can see how it works on the sticker that's on the trap above. Maybe you could use some cactus fruit as bait seeing he has a taste for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
