After catching nothing but mice in the rat traps for over a week I decided to add a mouse trap board to that shed, 25 hours later I checked it again and had 4 mice in 5 traps (that one mouse did NOT suffer! :)). That was yesterday, checked when I got home from work tonight and had 2 more and none of the rat traps were tripped... We'll see how this trend continues, there's not enough of them now to be canibalistic anymore apparently... there were a couple days where I found only mouse tails in the rat traps.

Hoping I'm getting to a more controlled situation, I don't mind mice as much as rats, but I really don't like mice :)

Three a night for the last couple nights so I think I'm up to 12 in 4 days? Might put my other trap board out there, the peanut butter seems to be doing the trick for bait.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Strangely enough, I'm seeing fewer rodents here.

My credo
the grey-t escape
golden malrin. its a fly bait/poison meant for horse stables. mix it with grape jelly, some orange slices and/or sliced bananas. Cats/dogs wont be interested and the vermin will drop dead often within sight of the bait area. Ive litterly put it right beside the pet food and the outside dogs cats never bothered the poison. Will drop raccoons too.

I doubt I have more rodents than normal, my problem is with me not controlling the blackberry bushes around the back shed (I'm in the northwest, they can't be avoided...) enough and rats found the protection they supply to be very inviting, but while I'm trapping things out there I might as well get rid of some mice that have been uncontrolled...

My credo
Crossed threads are tight threads.
Boy I thought had issues, I loan to my fifth wheel out and got it back with a big rat had to put a new roof on it and now I'm fixing the inside of the cabinets tore the walls out in the bathroom just destroyed it but anyway it has a rat and I ended up talking to this guy you know like the devil and Linda Blair in The exorcist I'm going to kill you I'm going to eat you I'm going to cut your guts out I'm going to eat you alive I was beginning to think I need to counseling to get counseling so before I hooked up a gas distribution method through a vacuum cleaner blowing the smoke inside I found a spray I don't know what it is I'm sorry I can't remember but it was worth a try that is a natural scent of their enemies , and although you are supposed to use this with a maintenance program I used it once and I think he's gone I use the whole can though and he's not following me around and spraying when I'm working on the outside like he seemed to have been doing he's not in the bathroom when I go to the bathroom anymore under the floor spraying where I get this God awful scent smell it's horrible been the mice moved in that's another story now they're gone they came in one night and they're out but I like the traps I like the multitrack if I was in a war with an IBM company you'd be my gunny
Awesome. Eff that rat.
