A Moouse Loose About The Hoouse!

Biggins

Ok comrades, Biggins needs help (the wife says I need a lot of help - but that another story! ).
I have a shed out the back that has a mouse eating away at items.
Anyone out there able to say what's the best way to be rid of these buggers (besides poison and traps if possible) and if those plug-in sonic deterrents actually bloomin' work?

hooradiation

Whats left.... You dont want whats used. A shot gun to the head(of the misses) might solve all problems.


Seriously "The Big Cheese" a range of rat and mouse traps in woodies and atlantic are brilliant. Google images for the look of them

brummytom

Those deterents usually work, yeah.


Get one, slit it's throat, leave it in the shed with a note saying "You're next". They'll get the message

Ask your local chemist for some. Splash it around a bit and there won't be any mice living there. Actually nothing will live there.

Get alend of brian cowan he will get rid of it!

* If I use the poison route, the buggers might die in an awkward place, corner where I can't get to and stink the place out of.
I've had this happen before and it took weeks/months to clear the stench out.
* Can't get a cat at present, due to kids and next door has some serious HUGE vicious madra's!

Has anyone used sonic devices on such creatures successfully?

I want to be rid of them, not tax/levy them!

What's that under its normal name? Napalm?

Skinner: No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.

Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?

Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.

Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!

Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

The socket plug-in thingamejiggys that look like air-fresheners?
If so, yeah. We used to have a bit of a mouse problem, stuck a few in the kitchen sockets, grand now. Mom's mate's house in Wexford was the same, so yeah; I'd say they'd be a good investment.

Are you doing organic chemistry at the moment too then?

I had a mouse in the house recently, had to nickname the fcuker Rasputin in the end.
Poisoned him,
Cornered him and covered him in spray foam,
Tried to asphyxiate him with some spray glue,
Finally threw him into a pond where he finally drowned (I think)

Sonic things dont work. Legal case in america at the moment. If i find a link will post it....

bonkers

have sexy times with one of the mice in full view of the other mice.. this will lead to a breakdown in their community and in 3 -10days you will see a revolt and lastly 10-15 violent mouse screams and then and only then disembark from within said mouse

??
Cats eat mice not children.
As regard the sonic thingys,the mice have evovled and learned to adapt to them.
They're now wearing earplugs.
Borrow a cat (or kidnap one) and leave him in the shed overnight.
The smell will keep mice away for a while.

Biggins: you would be better off posting this thread on the Animals & Pet Issues forum.

I thought you worked as a Wetboy Biggins? Surely you can take care of a Mouse!!!

The shed is used by the wife, I don't like to intrude on her territory.
She just wants me to supply the equipment and let her get on what what she does too.

I might go into overkill if I go after the bugger - and she knows it!
A Brown Precision Tactical Elite might be a bit too much and I haven't got the patience for a ruddy mouse!

Speaking from experience (we used to live in an old, old house with many places for meeces to get in) rat poison is your definitive answer. Got rid of them all, then we got new doors to keep them out.

We still live in an old, old house, but we have new doors and no meeces. No more "I saw a mouse Where? There on the stair. Where on the stair? Right there, a little mouse with clogs on. Oh I declare! Going clip-clippity-clop on the stair. Right there."

Problem solved.

Put some sugar in water then add a tiny bit of cement. The mice will drink the tasty water then the cement will set. You then proceed to pick up the mice and throw them away like stones.

Heard a trick year's ago. Get a bottle with a small opening, say a coke bottle from a pub. Put chocolate and bacon in the bottle, they seem to like that, mice have the ability to squese into small holes about the size of a pen but once they eat they cant get back out. So mouse goes into bottle eats food but cant get back out. I never tried it by the way.

Jet Black

Another one is to put food into a large metal bucket have a way for the mouse to go in but not back out. He smells the food climbs into bucket but wont be able to climb back out.

They do like chocolate or bacon rind - high fat foods + mice = happiness (for them).

Don't forget to dip it in the old C6H6.

Dip anything into it, it makes it far more..... Potent.

That_Guy

Negotiate with it.

Dudess

Seems like a crafty bugger - you should get a grey and white cat. I've a feeling the two would be amusing to watch and would get up to endless adventures and develop a love-hate relationship.

And you should hire a stereotypical matriarchal overweight black maid from the Deep South too.

Sonic things dont work as they cant transmit around corners or through doors or walls, the signal bounces back.

So unless you live in a circle room......

A shed is usually rectangular or square. Who would put separating walls let alone doors in a shed??

I think you should just nuke it before things get out of hand.
For all you know it has weapons of mass destruction in there!

BrokenArrows

the point of the sonic things is to put them outside so they wont come near the house.
If you put them in a room. They wont go into that room but they are still going to be in the house.

galah

make sure you get the *right* cat...ours is the SOURCE of mice in the house, dragging them in as "gifts" - b*llocky cat.

Oh, and the sonic thingies don't work. Tried them, failed. Either catch them with your own hands (oven gloves, copious amounts of red wine, and a long stick to poke them out of hiding places works for us) or get used to them (that is, don't store anything 'nibbleable' in said shed....

I just want to keep them out of a place that has some equipment in it.
If it works just for a small area I'd be happy.

Yea. I'm 50/50 about them myself.
