Mice vs. Me

Have killed 3 mice in the last few days. Just saw two more in the kitchen. I've gone on killing sprees before. The mice come and go. This recent infestation is bugging me, though. Right now I've got glue traps, a multiple-mouse live trap, and a couple of spring traps all set. I've had varying success with all 3 types in the past, but have not yet used them all at once. Baiting with various combinations of cashews, nutella, and tuna, so we'll see.

you already know that you need a cat for such duties.

who's standing in the way?

Bloddy, half-dead mice being whacked around the kitchen floor every morning?

zim said...

no, only some mornings. the rest of the time, the carcasses are hidden in places you won't find until some time later.

decomp. mmmmm

Hidden always? Never left at your feet or bed in a mode of "look, I'm a lethal killer, aren't you proud of me?"

We've found dismembered black widows, scorpions in this manner. The feline security force chez nous tend to completely consume the non-arachnoids (like crickets, and flies), perhaps for the additional protein?
