So its a crafty mouse (or DH and I are idiots)

Because the cheese curd we left on the trap is gone, but the mouse isn't lying face down with its neck broken in the trap.  Either we set it wrong (which seems impossible, because its one of those "simple" ones) or the mouse is the devil mouse.

Re: So its a crafty mouse (or DH and I are idiots)

  • They are very crafy. We a super rat (oh, NYC, you are so gross sometimes) in my work building this week. He got caught in a snap trap, but then managed to drag himself all the way across the basement. And didn't die for two days (we know because we found him Saturday, assumed he was dead, and then the Orkin man came on Monday . . . otherwise I would've put the poor thing out of its misery). And then it took forever for the Orkin man to kill it!
  • I refuse to look at, set, and get traps for mice! That being said, I'm fine w others doing it for me... (yes, I'm a non-mouse princess... I admit it).

    Dh loves the hunt-I'll send him over. ugh.

  • We've had a mouse problem at my work too. Our boss set out these sticky traps. The mouse gets stuck on it and the adhesive has a chemical in it that puts the mouse to sleep then kills it. You might try those. There is no way it can get away from one of those. If it steps on it, it's caught.
  • My FIL uses peanut butter.  He swears by it.  Also, you can try one of those "no see 'em" traps where the killing is done inside a plastic hut.

    GL!

  • I've also heard that PB works well - they can't manage to knock it off or swipe it somehow, because it's sticky. GL!
  • Our orkin man uses little bits of slim jims. Weird, but true.

  • We have a mouse issue at my work too, field mice though I think.  The maintenance guy put those sticky mouse pads out in the cabinets down in the kitchen area of the office.  One day I went to dump the trash barrel that's under one of the cabinets and got a whiff of pure grossness and looked in the corner to find a dead, DECAYING mouse stuck to one of the pads.  I hate those ones (the sticky pads) because if the mouse tries to pry themselves off (which this one apparently did cause it was just nasty) they rip themselves apart.  YUCK!  I was thisclose to puking and I screamed like a biitch.  It was horrible, and I ran down the hall and paged the maintenance guy to come take it away.

    So nasty.

  • Oh I hate killing them. We used to use humane traps but with the baby.... I want those fvckers gone ASAP!
