our house is completely over-run with meeces

my roomie/landlord is using both live traps and the skull crushing ones

I do not enjoy randomly hearing the death throes of some poor mouse that wandered into the killing variety

I cover my ears and sing "buckets of rain" really loudly when it happens til I know its over

:( :( :(

fuck I wanna move

yeah mice suck

they're cute, but their potentially disease infested droppings are not

I hate setting traps, but had to catch/kill one lastnight :(

you are not alone!

we had a little mouse, and he was really cute and everything, but i just didn't want him running around our house. i just wanted him to like be a mouse elsewhere.

what sucks most is when you hear them scurrying about in the middle of the night and it freaks you the fuck out and you can't get back to sleep

Fly paper that shit. And buy a python. He'll be fat in no time. Then you can dance with the python in your spare time like Britney Spears.

The only problem is not eating all the oatmeal/peanut butter bait yourself.

That's pretty humane. It'd be hard to get them off of the glue paper anyway. Then you can just dump the trap into a blender and make a smoothie for your python.

Jeez, okay okay.

Just decapitate them so they don't suffer as much.

It was mouse central when we moved in.
I set humane traps, and got a few, but the biggest difference was when we made sure there was nothing at all for them to eat, putting all food packets in tubs and tins. I then filled in all holes with that expanding foam stuff, and put some hamster food and stuff about ten yards from the house, then twenty, and so on. I am now feeding mice down at the end of the lane, where they are living in a tree stump, all except one who scuttles about and makes old masonry fall down behind the wall at night, but he can't get inside the house, so I'll tolerate that. Out here it's impossible to be mouse free, and I'd rather maintain them elsewhere than kill them, which is usually an ongoing process.

I work at a conservation facility that houses a lot of animals. One of the departments got tired of having a million huge-ass roaches, so they released geckos in their building. Then, the geckos started breeding...presto, gecko infestation.

I fucking hate feral mice. They freak me the fuck out. You know in Tom and Jerry how the maid jumps up on the chair when she sees Jerry? Yeah...thats me. We had one in our garage last week and my wife had to go and scare it out because I wouldn't even go near the garage. Dirty filthy disease carrying fucks.
I like pet mice though. They are cool.

I've never had luck with the humane traps....unfortunately the only ones that seem to work for me are the neck snapping ones or the glue traps. I feel really bad about it...but whatcha gonna do?
