Mice help

[Niall Quinn]

You just need a recording of a cat.

It's not a great listen that - 24 hours of silence interspersed with 90 seconds of purring and 12 meows.

You have to figure out where the mice get into the house and concentrate the traps in that locality.
My mouse kill count has reached genocidal proportions, these past 15 years.

At this present time I have about 10 traps on the go around the outside of the house and nab about 4 on average every night.
Even though the house is under relentless attack, a mouse getting in would be a rare enough event.
The problem is these feckers can't find there way out, they usually end up in the kitchen and you can see them having a peep out from under the dishwasher. A glue trap there, usually does the trick with those malingerers.

Years ago I tried a few of the humane traps, I suppose they are humane if you get to the trapped creature in time.
I thought I would use them so my daughter would get used to them. We would have a little ritual where we would drive somewhere and release the mouse. So she grew up without a fear of mice. If a mouse ran across the kitchen floor, she wouldn't be in the least bothered.
But if there is a spider anywhere, she freaks, hides in her room until the spider is located and transferred.
So I went to all that trouble so she wouldn't be afraid, but it only works on one fear.

The Lord Mayor of Belfast's Mammy and Daddy should have trapped little child cadets when he was small and driven out into the country and released them.

Is that the deadly sign, of a lingering thread transference hysteria, veering into horror imagination?
That's a hard one to keep a handle on.

I know a boy who put down the sticky stuff. The mice made a bridge over it and ate the chocolate.

They'd be circus mice. I bet thon one outta the green mile could do that.

Buy two mice. Put them in a large box from which they can't escape. Do not feed them. After a few days both will be ravenous. Inevitably one of the mice wil eat the other mouse. This will give him/her a taste for mouse blood. Let the surviving mouse run free. It will stick around the locality and will instantly kill any other mouse that is knocking about.

Dress as a mouse. Learn their habits. Become one of them. Be the mouse. Only then will you know how to catch them. Learn what they are thinking.

DAC (the sticky stuff) is a good job and we would always have used it over the years.  The wee shits basically starve to death or sometimes what they do is they try to gnaw their own legs off to escape, that's not a nice sight The mother found mice shit in the bed the other week so she laid traps and had one of the buggers caught that night.  The next night she got the other one.  Normally if you get them early you will only have 2-3.  If the feckers start humping you're screwed (as opposed to them being screwed).  I hate cats and wouldn't have them about the house (we have 3 dogs) but luckily we have 3-4 neighbours have cats and they keep the vermin down I would imagine.  We live right onto a field and a forest so there are plenty of the buggers around.  There was flooding next door with the heavy rain and a big hoor of a rat went running through the back garden with our Jack Russell flying after it, quite funny!

In the states here most mice are found in or around sofas, its usually were they bread.  Should lay a trap close to the sofa and see will you have any luck.
If not a flash light and a hurl.

Sofas or beds...that's the favourite spot for them.  They like keeping the young nice and warm, if there are none caught yet I reckon that they've nested and are ready for babies.
