been having a bitch of a time with these little ****ers. i think i've finally got them all ending with these two bastards.

ohh they're sleeping!

Chip and Dale nooooooooooooooo!

Drug kitty likes. Seriously though, nice.

nice shot, seriously.

But yeah, having cats, our mouse problem is a bit different. None LIVE in our house, but Sterling will bring one in every now and again to play with, and then get bored with it... That leave Karat and Moseley (the dog) to chase it until I catch it and throw it outside. They're a PITA though because those ****ers bite and I'm too lazy to get my gloves... So you have to be delicate enough to grab the tail w/o getting bitten....

thanks all!

yeah none stay alive in my house (as far as i know).

That's a nice shot, but it makes me really sad. I recently had to trap some mice in my garage, and I felt so terrible when I disposed of their tiny little corpses. Not fun times.

speaking of glue traps, We put one down, and it did the job and then some. The mouse managed to get to the middle and eat the PB, and then a snake thought he saw a good opportunity, but of course got stuck, as well as another small animal (it was years ago and I can't remember) and tons of little bugs...

I stood on a rat once and it went crack. It wasn't a nice feeling. I was trying to get out of the way rather poorly.

Well, rats carry disease and this mother****er looked at me wrong in the a/c vent above the kitchen so when the wife and kids left I stuck the glue trap up there with peanut butter on it and within minutes of their departure the killing began. His little friend got snapped on the roof in a more "humane" way that night in a trap. Haven't had one show up since. I'm guessing their friends were watching.

And the only reason I ended up beating him in the box with a stick (a big one) is because when I hosed him with wasp killer the liquid freed his feet from the glue and I didn't want that crazy ****er running away.

I would totally treat a mouse better, though. A simple snap of the neck in a trap would be suffice. The roof rats in Texas are a little bigger and the traps don't always get them. And it's not like we live in a rat infested ****hole or anything they just love the big trees and the access to attics that most people don't think about looking for to close up until one ends up in the a/c vent above the kitchen!

That actually makes your story a little better. Glue traps are terrible, so you were trying to use a poison to shorten the duration... when that released some of the glue, you opted to club the critter. Still more humane than letting them die of dehydration. The first time you told the story, it almost sounded like you did that for fun.
