WTH .. I got a Mouse in the house ..

Cats actually need to learn to hunt.

So, most of the common core cats (like above) can not hunt......so they rely on handouts from the “working few” they have it all figured out!

Kind of like welfarians.

The same somewhat goes for constrictor type snakes. Snakes in captivity that are used to being handed already dead prey, instead of hunting for live ones, will not constrict as much or at all. So while they don't need to be taught, like cats, they somewhat unlearn the behavior if it isn't consistent with how they're getting their meals.

Once the food shortage hits mouse-ka-bobs will be looking good. Start fattening them up a little...

IDK what it is but there's something about nice and rats that make me never want to consider eating one. I wouldn't mind a squirrel honestly but most other rodents I look at as pests not potential food sources. I'm sure this would change if I hadn't had meat in weeks.

Went to move my wife's car this morning and what did I find in my face?

Sonovabitch! If my wife had found this I'd still be hearing about it.
I still catch one every day or every other.

What are the legalities of discharging a firearm inside your own house?

Step 1: Get a barn snake

Step 2:

Oh yeah, a snake will really put her at ease.

They get a bad wrap, dude. Seriously. The corn snake I have has never bitten me once, in almost 4 years that I've had / handled him.

Had a opossum in the house once, the cats were worthless and the dogs made friends with it.
I had to pick it up myself and throw it outside.

Yeah that's a bit too big for most snakes. You'd need probably at least a boa of some sort.

This trap amuses me.

For most of my life I had snakes and other reptiles.
I had 2 big Burmese. One was 13ft, the other was 9'6".
I also had a 5 ft Savannah Monitor.
This young opossum would have been a snack for any of the 3.
Also 2 Eastern Pine snakes in the 8ft range.
The pythons and monitor now live at the Toronto Zoo.

Did you use the BB, pellet or dart?

 

[Depick]

I had a little mouse like that in my yard. I caught my dog stomping it to death. She’s a good girl.

 

[BDinPutnam]

You need owls.

I rescued a kitten in September, have not heard any critters in the walls since she has been in the house. You can try a cat, they seem to work.

We had a cat for 18 years until she died last year. For 18 years we never saw a mouse or evidence of a mouse in the house. Within a few months after she died, we had a couple of the little critters running around and kept finding droppings in the lower kitchen cupboards. The cat never caught a mouse and gave it to us as a present, but I am sure just the presence of a cat kept the mice away.

We put down spring traps, glue traps and the poison traps and never caught one. These mouse are getting smart. We called a pest control place and they put down more toxic poison traps inside and outside and still nothing. Finally our cleaning lady suggested using peanut butter mixed with finely chopped 00 steel wool and a very small amount of poison and put it directly on the floor. It worked like a charm. After a few days, no more mice.

I see that you took care of it the fun way but if overkill is what you're looking for may I suggest the hillbilly 5000?

And that advice about the steel wool comes from a 55 year old Columbian woman. I am willing to bet her kids never gave her any problems.
