hamster Posted 28 June, 2009 Posted 28 June, 2009 (edited) I have had it with Mr Mouse! I want him dead. We've tried the usual poison and humane 'catch 'em live' traps from B&Q to no avail. What is the best most potent poison I can buy please? I have been told to get something which mummifies the corpse to avoid smells and Mrs h says she doesn't want me to put down a traditional 'thwack' trap. Advice please? PS We have 3 dogs who obviously don't give a toss about said mouse, so please don't suggest a cat. Edited 28 June, 2009 by hamster NO CATS ALLOWED
Burger Posted 28 June, 2009 Posted 28 June, 2009 I use peanut butter in cheap traps and it works. One week I'll have at least one mouse every morning, then nothing for weeks. All outdoors or in garage thankfully never had one in the house. Tried poison in the past and it doesn't work - sometimes just stuns the buggers - picked one up and put it in plastic dustbin thinking it was dead - it ate its way out.

hamster Posted 28 June, 2009 Author Posted 28 June, 2009 Cheers for that Burger. He woke me up a couple of times last night and I have just realised that he has chewed the bedroom door and carpet, so after careful consideration I am going to get a back-breaker. Sorry to be so graphic, but that carpet was bloody expensive. WARNING! Do not youtube 'mousetrap' definitely NSFW (or girly types)

hamster Posted 28 June, 2009 Author Posted 28 June, 2009 Mouse baited trap baited with choclate will do the trick Peanut butter tonight, hope they like crunchy. I am hopefully going to be rudely awoken by a thwack and will take great pleasure in wiping the residue off the carpet. If no joy, then I will try the chocolate, should it be dark or milk?
spain saint Posted 29 June, 2009 Posted 29 June, 2009 The best way to catch mice is....... Put the tube from kitchen roll on your work surfacejust so it balances put some bait in the end hanging over the floor, again make sure it just balances! Then put a big dustbin underneath to catch the mouse, when it runs into the tube to eat said bait, the tube will fall in the bin! spread some cooking oil around the bin about half way up to stop it climbing out. Leave over night and then in the morning hey presto! mouse in the bin! The next part is up to you, you can either tell the wife that you will let it out humanely in the woods/forest/local park or you can out a spade through it! HTH
John Boy Saint Posted 29 June, 2009 Posted 29 June, 2009 Looking after the guvnors house last summer, I noticed mouse activity so I set a couple of nasty traps placed on newspaper to reduce the splatt spread and primed them with Glace Cherries: Hey Presto! no more mice. If you do catch one in a humane trap put the trap securely in the car and drive five miles down the road or more before letting them free. Take them just down the road and a pound to a penny they will be back home before you are!
Mole Posted 29 June, 2009 Posted 29 June, 2009 i would use a cat Hitting a cat with a cat is good thinking. Two for the price of one.
St Landrew Posted 29 June, 2009 Posted 29 June, 2009 Cheers for that Burger. WARNING! Do not youtube 'mousetrap' definitely NSFW (or girly types) Well of course, I had to: Don't worry, it's just a bit of fun.
Al de Man Posted 29 June, 2009 Posted 29 June, 2009 Our cats brought in a rat at 0730 on Saturday morning. I get woken up by the clatter of the catflap followed by a "Squeek, squeek, squeek..." and this rat runs into the bedroom closely pursued by our two cats. It then does a u-turn running back out in to the hallway and finds itself trapped in the corner, so I swiftly dispatch it with a belt from a shoe before chucking it in the bin and back to bed.
hamster Posted 30 June, 2009 Author Posted 30 June, 2009 ps. Get a cat. 3 dogs = NO CAT btw peanut butter was source of some hilarity last night. Cosmic (the Patterdale who is not allowed upstairs) managed to creep up there and set off both traps! You'd have thought that the first would have given him a clue! It's a bloody good job I didn't get around to using the new back-breakers, instead offering Mr Mouse one final chance to surrender via the plastic route. Bit late to set the new ones right now, so if you reading this Mr Mouse either **** off and bother soemone else or choose. Peanut butter and live, or chocolate tomorrow and DIE. Does that make sense?
The Majestic Channon Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 We had problems with mice under the sink, tried poison, did'nt work, bought skull crushing instant death traps and caught 5 in one weekend

Al de Man Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 3 dogs = NO CAT Why'd you get them because dogs are rubbish at catching mice?
hamster Posted 20 July, 2009 Author Posted 20 July, 2009 Mouse has been having a field day recently, as I have been sleeping through his antics, and Mrs h has decided that she is a mousetarian, but I was in Shilay today and saw saw 4 proper mousetraps for a quis in Shirlay Market. I cannot resist a bargain, and I am pleased to announce that they are set. I decided on Chocolate malted milk biscuits as bait as I don't like them, but if he is not deaded by the morning, I will try some caramac that I believe is nor out of date.

Weston Super Saint Posted 20 July, 2009 Posted 20 July, 2009 It could be worse. Imagine if it was a Moose :shock:
hamster Posted 20 July, 2009 Author Posted 20 July, 2009 It could be worse. Imagine if it was a Moose :shock: Wouldn't be the first time I've been woken by one of them, thankfully I always use a pseudonym (I think that's the word), so no reprisals.
Hamilton Saint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 The Victor trap is very effective. Smear the traget area with a dollop of peanut butter.
spain saint Posted 21 July, 2009 Posted 21 July, 2009 Once again have you tried my humane mouse trap? Please see post from acouple of weeks ago for details!
hamster Posted 21 July, 2009 Author Posted 21 July, 2009 Once again have you tried my humane mouse trap? Please see post from acouple of weeks ago for details! Sorry SS, I should have got back to you earlier. For some reason we have no evidence of mousey on kitchen worktops just yet. Only left tell-tale droppings and nibbled carpets in our bedroom, all three bathrooms, (twice) on coffeee table amd behind Sky box. This mouse is not behaving how he should I fear. Your device does look like a simple but ingenius solution, but I really want to avoid luring him/it into the kitchen area of I can help it. Update - nothing happened last night, although Grandson number 2 did manafe to set one off today without losing any fingers.
