It's been quite wet here the last few days, and the fieldmice are moving indoors.
I was busy doing something in the kitchen a moment ago, when I turned around and there's a filthy little field mouse staring at me from the middle of the dining room floor!
I took off after it, screaming like a banshee.... and ran that little grey shit down!
I am wonderwomanmousecatcher :D

Oh, and yes, I killed it.
 
how did you get it. I got mine with a trap with peanut butter in the drawer. snapped that fucker right on the neck.
 
I actually caught him with my hands!
Didn't have time to go get a container... I knew if I took my eyes off him for one second, he'd be gone.
You can't catch these field mice with peanut butter. They eat grain, so if I bait, it has to be poisoned grain/oats/etc. Then they go die somewhere and it takes me ages to track down the carcass.

This one was NOT getting away!

First time ever!
I just ran after him till I cornered him down the end of the hallway, and then swiped out with my hand and somehow came up with it grasped in my fist!
I am both totally impressed with myself, and completely grossed out.
Then I figured since I already had it, I may as well dispatch it. I used a filleting knife and stabbed it in the brain.
I've washed my hands 6 times so far, and I can still feel the germs :eek:

Oh oh eeewwwww!
And you're so bad ass 'cause I would've so been a weakling about it.
Also, that knife.... either toss it in pure bleah over night or throw it out *gag*

Don't worry, I am a clean freak, so I have the knife in Napisan (dissolves all organic matter and sterilizes) and I think I need to buy more hand sanitiser :eek::eek:

I swear to God you make Paul-fucking-Hogan look like a cuckold.
Next to you Tarzan is a hairless, Fruit-of-the-Loom underwear model.
Navy seals? They're what's for dinner.
Rumor has it the woman does her own tatoos with a rusty nail and latex house paint.

Just how is the view from the top of the God damned food chain, anyway?? :eek:

It was a total fluke... Albeit, a rather impressive one!
:D
 
This reminds me of a friend of mine who had been playing cat and mouse (pun not intended, it happened naturally) with a mouse for several days. It was driving her up the wall. She ended up chasing it out the front door with a shovel and beating it to death out in the driveway, in her nightgown. Smashed it flat as a pancake. I laughed until I cried. :D

A reminder not to underestimate Australian women. Sometimes they may look like sophisticated city girls, sometimes like beach volleyball babes, sometimes like pioneer women, but they know how to deal with Australia's wildlife.

If it can be eaten, they'll put on the barbie. If it can't they'll leave it alone unless it gets in their way, and then its existence will be short.

P.S. That goes for non-Australian men too.
 
I have 3 cats and a dog, yet, there is a field mouse that seems to be able to avoid them and all the poison I've put out.

Can you come over and kill it for me?

This is true, I'll kill and butcher a sheep no probs, but I sat there gagging while my wife patiently held a two day old lamb* and carefully picked off the dozens of tiny maggots that were slowly eating their way through the stub of it's umbilical cord.


*Not native, but it was born here so it had automatic citizenship.
 
i have an irrational fear of mice and rats. when a mouse runs across the floor i freak the fuck out. my fear is they will run up my pants leg and eat my penis.

i know my fear is crazy but i lived in the inner city growing up. i have seen babies that had ears chewed up from rodent infestations.
