Got mice?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and comments about lube

I will buy traps and kill them. I can't poison them because of my dogs, and I can't shoot them because the neighbors would call the cops if they heard a weapon discharge in my house... at least I hope they would...

I couldn't shoot an animal, even a rat. It's just not in me. I killed a garter snake three years ago and I still don't like to think about it.

Gotta be a country western song in that-
"she wanna git mah Cadillac
In her cute little Toyota garahge
Lube it up, baby, lube it up
We'll just keep on a 'trying.."

twang twangy, twang twang!

Especially if it was a one-eyed trouser snake.

Snakes are no big deal.

I may have decided to live in peace with the rat. He's really not hurting anything...

But see, rats are like bad roomates.

So you've got one, then he throws a party and some of his little ratty friends decide to crash for a while and then his girlfriend moves in with him and then they start having little ratty babies, and they don't pick up after themselves and mooching off the dogs food, and then they're mooching off your food...

Naw, get rid of him now.

I lived next door to some people like that.

Rat traps are on the list.

Let us know when all is resolved.

(Good luck!)

I am famous within my circle of friends for wrangling a five-foot blacksnake that got into my kitchen. The events involved a broom, a tube of liquid nails, and a five-pound tub of potato salad.

I was victorious.

We just moved and when we were cleaning out the shed from our old place we found this little tiny two inch long mouse with a 6 inch tail. He was scared stiff so we caught him in the dust pan and let him loose beyond our fence. It was so cute I couldn't kill it.
When a friend mowed my lawn last summer (while the hubby was deployed) he found a mouse and trapped it in some decorating stones. He was going to leave it there to starve to death, but I just couldn't do it so I let it out. I know, I am such a wimp.

I prefer "humane" as the term, personally.

I once saved a juvenile rat from drowning in a swimming pool. My coward co-workers all hid in the break room. I scooped it up in a plastic cup and set it loose.

I like rodents. I'd leave em alone, but that's me. One day I found a mouse in the recyce bin in the garage. Don't know how he got in there, but I carefully emptied all the cans and stuff and let him go. Stupid I suppose but I wasn't prepared to kill him. But if you have to kill him get some rat traps, as mentioned. I think it'd be pretty fuckin quick. Important safety note, bate them before you set them. If you set them and then try and put the bait on you'll set them off. And put something like a crate over them to keep the dogs away from them. Cut a hole in it obviously.
