Kaidy Mae Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Yup, Guigsy's your guy. Something involving a bucket of bleach, a coat hanger and peanut butter. He claims it works. However, I opt for the more humane approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snarfmaster C Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 cool kaidy mae - have you tried this or know someone who has? i'd way rather not have to kill anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 put out a chunk of cheese... dose it... leave the door open and put a portable stereo in the backyard playing some early 80s Deadclose the door around 4 am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Yup. We had mice in our bar a couple of years ago (the thirsty bastards). We got 2 small units (from Canadian Tire, I think) and haven't had a problem since. My Dad also got these for the basement of the hospital he works at. It's a super old building and these handy inventions seem to do the trick. I have a cat too and she doesn't seem to hear or notice the things. I can check the exact brand/model tonight if you'd like.

Calamity Jane Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 that device sounds like the way to go -- even a 30 day money back guarantee!!But I also like Paisley's suggestion -- you might want to try that first. Just realize you may end up with a bigger problem if your place gets known in the rodent circles as 'the place to be' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, keep in mind this advice is coming from a toad licker. LOL Paisley, you crack me up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairySari Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 This looks like a cute little trap. Humane too. My parents have had success with a trap kind of like that, using peanut butter as bait.Or maybe you could build your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchoulia Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Is it just me or does this sound like something Stephen Baldwin's character in "Half-Baked" would say?Something involving a bucket of bleach, a coat hanger and peanut butter."Hey man, we're out of papers man.""Alright, then get me a toilet paper roll, a cork screw, and some tin foil.""We don't have a cork screw.""Alright, then get me an avacado, an ice pick, and my snorkel. Trust me bro, I've made bongs with less. Hurry up." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 hahaha... hey mooose, thanks for the laugh, but unfortunately, none of my tactics have worked. even the bucket of bleach/coathanger/peanut butter trick didnt get him... but i still like to suggest that one to people in hopes that it'll one day work.i've learned to accept the fact that mice are just smarter than me when it comes to their own survival. i guess it's like anything, ya gotta think like a mouse, and i am simply incapable.play the law of averages, though... set up multiple traps, whereby beating one, he'll set off another... it's not a guarantee, but i have gotten one that way.
