lol

I'm known for being a pushover animal lover type, but my mantra is "if the fuckers are in MY house uninvited, and not paying rent, sorry, they have to go...KILL IT."

HG was invited, I guess. :p

Once time dead not enough?

I've never had a mouse not die from the trap. But I do have a foolproof baiting method.

Smear a small strip of cloth with a small amount of peanut butter - just enough to coat it. Wedge the cloth into the bait side of the trap. It's got to be in tight. Set the trap. Place by a wall wherever you've found droppings. The mice pull on the cloth, trying to get some of what they smell.

I did have one negative repercussion from trapping last year. I put one up in the suspended ceiling in the basement. That weekend I went off to visit relatives and Mrs. dar and the kids stayed home.

You guessed it. Mouse must've died Friday night and they had no idea why the basement smelled so bad.

The only reason I don't use poison.

Me too, Glatt. I want to be able to remove the 'remains'.

Calm down Zenny. he said an explosion of chipmunks; obviously a suicide fox took a lot of the community out.

Update: Yes, I totally killed a mouse yesterday. The landlord bought sticky pads, and I just felt so bad for it...Those sticky pads work. Yes they do. Too well maybe. It would have died on it's own, but seeing what the sticky pad did to it, I had to put it out of it's misery immediately. That sucked so bad. I guess killing mice gets easier after awhile. But I don't see myself getting used to it. Screw the landlord, I think I'll get live traps. I don't want to have to do that again.

literally

At our conference friday I got fritos in my box lunch instead of REAL chips but the sandwich was great.

( fritos is the only corn product I don't care for. Anyone notice that dog's feet smell like them?)

Good times.

Meeting over-running.
I'm sat here unable to go to lunch until they're out.

Okay, I've already eaten, but I have things I want to sort out damnit.
I think I might take a whole hour today, just to console myself.

bats, rabies, rabies postexposure prophylaxis, ~$1000/shot * 5 shots, plus accompanying health care expenses (~$10,000). Saber tooth tiger would be cheaper to keep.

BigV, I'd just skip it. I'm sure you'll be fine.
