Mice...

Any suggestions or insights for dealing with mice in your home?

Is this an animal and pet thread or accommodation and property....

Creative solutions welcome, my ma/atari/welcoming rodent overlords etc

ejmaztec · 13-10-2008 9:33pm

Offer them money.

Ostrom · 13-10-2008 9:34pm

How much? Times are tough and all

Traps are set with 5 euro notes as per ejmaztec above (cheers)

Anything else we can do?

Get one of those sonar-type things that gets them to move out without killing them

Then get yourself a watch......a watch that you can use to call in an airstrike......BOOM!!!!!, no more mice problem with 23 hours and 58 minutes to spare.

Although if these mice are 6 foot tall and wear shorts there is a guy in Florida that will take them off your hands.

Ostrom · 13-10-2008 9:49pm

Or I could capture and torture one until he gives up the location of the nest

tony1kenobi · 13-10-2008 9:50pm

Don't get a cat.They can't catch mice.The mice always hide behind the fat black woman.Then the cat gets a clatter over the head with a broom and thrown out into the pissing rain.Then the mouse gets a big lump of cheese and sits beside a gas lamp laughing at the cat.

I saw exactly that on telly when I was a kid. Same ****ing thing over and over.Cats are ****ing idiots.

Handicapped people eat mice. Or so I've heard. Don't know where you can get one though.

A mouse trap with cheese and peanut butter, they love it. Balance the trap on a pencil (see saw like ) so as it is very sensitive to any movement. Guaranteed to catch any you may have in the house.:eek:

getting a snake seems like a good idea but then you read this

ScumLord · 13-10-2008 10:24pm

Tell them there are no cats in America and the streets are paved with cheese.

TPD · 13-10-2008 10:30pm

Get a slingshot and some 2cm ballbearings. Fun for all the family!

BaconZombie · 14-10-2008 1:12am

It is illegal to feed snakes live food, also that snake was not born in the wild so that probably the first live creature it encountered in is life.

Also it way to big for that size of snake to eat.

you can buy these traps called endomice they are brilliant i had one last year and bejaysus he was dead within the hour! Also stuff any small holes you have in the house with brillo pads or wire wool.

they are clever little guys they can get in the smallest holes. I wouldn't reccommend bait because they pop their clogs in cupboards etc!

Overheal · 14-10-2008 12:44pm

Try a tall bucket or watering can, fill it with foodz, and make sure they can climb in, but not out. This worked for me when trying to recapture renegade hamsters.

thelordofcheese · 14-10-2008 12:53pm

Take off and nuke the site from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.

Cookie_Monster · 14-10-2008 1:18pm

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Hammers! Hammers solve everything.

Nevyn · 14-10-2008 1:28pm

Get a cat or get one one who has a cat to give you some used cat litter and put it in the hosue and the mice will leave.

Irishcrx · 14-10-2008 1:28pm

I for one welcome the introduction of our rodent overlords.

On the other hand Lizards and dogs are handy for getting them out.

I know a guy called Hammers and he is pretty good at Sudoku. Now i know why

jaykay74 · 14-10-2008 1:36pm

Give them the box room and charge them the same as the double room you are in.

Where did you get them?

Cant bait since we have small animals, or use cat litter (one of us is allergic)

Turd Ferguson · 14-10-2008 1:39pm

Play a Cher-Greatest Hits album really loud and on repeat for a few days. Not only will the mice leave but most of your neighbours will probably move too.

Cookie_Monster · 14-10-2008 1:40pm

As per previous post:D
One of these?

Theres your problem. Small animals give birth to other small animals, and they in turn givew birth to even smaller animals.. and so on and so on.. Thats where you got your mice from.

Its scienctific FACT, you might not understand it but that is Darwin's Theory of Origins.*

*might be wrong

My baxtard cat keeps leaving mice/rat corpses under my bed or alternatively in the hall where I stand on them barefooted when I get up in the morning.

It's fu.cking gross.

biko · 14-10-2008 2:55pm

Pray for St Patrick to return, this time for the mice.
