Me vs Mouse... The little bastard is winning....

[0james0]

I used to work in an office at the end of two terraces, used to have a mouse problem.

I wanted traps from hell, but we had some tree huggers in the office that wanted humane. We settled on poisons.

Killed the mice, some of them. The problem was that with poison they don't die straight away, they pull a whightey and go off and curl up
somewhere random and secluded. Then die.

This is all well and good, apart from after a few days they start to rot. It might only be small, but when they die they fucking stink! One mouse reaks worse than you could imagine. A few dotted around and you've got a real smell problem.

If you do catch him in that 6 hour phone camera window, you'll have to post the video. What ever the outcome!

Finally got him! I recorded about 10 hours all up but don't think it even saw him once...

It was finally the cheese that got him... I knew after he took the first bit yesterday morning that the next time he was hungry, it would be snap time... and sure enough he got his just deserts.. Unfortunately no footage as it happened while I was at work...

Case finally closed..

Human always wins in the end..

Now just hope it was a mouse and not mice.

You should cook the little bugger and eat him as a reward. I saw an ant in my kitchen area the other day and crushed it with a dictionary. Each and every one will get the same treatment. I don't want pets.

This took a serious turn for the worst tonight.. Yesterday when I got home from work and found the mouse in the trap I thought it was all good... Had a great night sleep.

Today I got home, switched on the Playstation 3 to have a quiet play, and heard fucken noises in the drawer again... That means ANOTHER fucken mouse!!!! I'm so mad... So I figure I better gather up all the traps and put some new cheese on them... And then I find one of the traps which I had a shoe box over actually had a mouse in dead as well!!! TWO dead, one still alive... It's fucked up in the head!

The worst part was the Peanut butter... Every single trap that had Peanut Butter on the mouses just went to town... Every single one was all but licked clean... Some were like a hair width from going off, but the cheeky buggers got a total meal out of the 7 traps I had set up with it on...

So i've totally scrapped that idea, and have rigged them all with Cheese... So far it's 1 from 2, but I messed up the first time by using an oldish bit of cheese which had gotten a bit dry, so it really broke away from the trap without pulling on it... And I also aimed straight up, the bit of metal that the cheese goes on. Before it was diagonal which lookeddddd effective, but didn't grab onto enough cheese, and the cheese just split off it to easy...

I'm fucking over mice.. They are filthy and I will probably have to write off this whole set of drawers when all is said and done...

If only I could borrow a couple of Legion's Snakes!!!! Yeah!!

One day, when I lived in Phoenix, I decided to clean the bath tub, sprinkled it with cleanser and, being kind of tired, went to have a beer, or two, and watch some television. When I returned there was a mouse in the tub, but he couldn't get out. He's try, run up the sloped back, but he'd slide back down. Now, I'm healthily afraid of mice, so I had to wait for my girlfriend to get back from her mother's house, so she could take the mouse out of the tub and throw it in the back yard, where my dog ate it. She had to do the same for one I caught on a glue trap. I ain't gettin that close to a mouse. I know what they're capable of.

On my old estate we used to get some massive rats, the biggest I ever saw was about the size of small Jack Russell. That's South London.

Oh yeah & Diz, no offence, but I'm really rooting for the mice here, if only so I can read your frustration as they keep one-upping you. It's comedy gold
