"I hate those meeces to pieces!"

[Patriot]

my local parish (county) gov provides free rodent poison the the stuff works. I had rats the size of chiquana dogs. And a nest of mice living under my slab that came out in our frequent 100 year rains.

It's called Contrac Rodenticide and are light blue pellets. I put 1.5 oz on a paper plate in the attic and the laundry room behind the washer and no more rodents. Hardly ever saw any bodies as they eat it and like a dying dog, go somewhere like under the house to die. It biochemically shuts down the clotting of rodent blood.

Did the trick for me and for years I haven't seen any evidence of vermon around.

FOUND CONTRAC FOR SALE HERE...CLICKY

Rogue, have you maybe considered that killing them isn't the answer?
Perhaps it's that something is missing from their lives, and their search has brought them to your house.

Maybe if you'd make an effort to learn more about their needs and how difficult a mouse's life can be,

you'd conclude that having them occasionally scurry through your house is not really such a bad thing.

Peace my friend.

Sounds good to me........... now convince my wife. :butcher: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

Bub-b-b-but they're so cuuuute! OM likes to watch them and he compares his own life difficulties to what the poor rodent population must suffer, Why, on top of having to forage for their very existence, imagine the discrimination these poor unfortunate creatures suffer. :blink:

OTH, Mrs. Rogue is probably more concerned about what food and area they might be contaminating and exacty what they are leaving behind.

Uh...are you looking for alternate solutions?

Rodent Poison (non-toxic to humans):

2 oz. barium carbonate

1/2 oz. granulated sugar

1/2 lb. bread crumbs.

place into a bowl and mix well, dampen with water and form little balls to be placed out for the "visitors".

Traps: use plenty of them, not just one or two. Some folks have better luck baiting un-set traps for a day or two then setting the traps. Another bait that works is peanut butter mixed with rolled oats.

As someone else said, place them along the walls the mice have been using as a thorough-fair.

Mouse Allergen: Oil of Peppermint (not peppermint extract).

They are allergic to it and won't frequent any place they can smell it.

You can place a few drops on pieces of cotton and set them around. That should drive them away.

Killer Mashed Potatoes:

A bowl of potato flakes and a bowl of water. They eat the flakes and drink the water...the flakes expand in their stomachs and......

Cement Stomach Liner:

A dish containing cornmeal and dry cement mixed together next to a dish of water. It will set up in their stomachs and turn to solid cement.

Not sure, but I think my ex used to make that every Thursday.

Get a cat

Gunny. They'll get the mice eventually. If it's a rat you better make it a terrier.

 

[Rogue]

One down!! :yahoo:

Thanks for all the advice everyone!

The Victor Electronic trap got one last night........... THANKS HAL!!! The only bait that worked was apple!

This mouse never touched cheese or peanut butter but went after apple scraps on the counter, almonds (but not sunflower seeds, cashews, pistachios or macadamia nuts) out of the cupboards and chicken wishbones off the counter. :blink:

I tried D-Con and it wouldn't eat it.

Hmmmm....it sounds like one of the genetically improved mice. Are you sure it didn't escape from one of the local university labs?

Congratulations on your "first kill". :clapping:

Wishing you much continued success. :yahoo:

Are you going to paint little mouse icons on the side of your FJR?

I assume your status in your home just improved mightily. Doug, the great white hunter and family protector.

.... almonds (but not sunflower seeds, cashews, pistachios or macadamia nuts)....

Sounds like your house is full of nuts.

And that surprises you? You have met me. :dribble:

She did.

oops. I wasn't supposed to tell you.

Funniest damn thing I ever saw was a dance for the ages by a mouse on a kitchen floor. Spins, whorls, jumps, squeals, then..... death.

Does that make me a bad person?

I Realized the poison was working. It also explained the occasional bizarre noises in the walls I heard.

No Mikey, that didn't do it.

What you and Niehart did with that stick of butter,(on your camping trip),.............that made you a bad person.
