Her boyfriend kept telling her it was the same mice over and over. To prove him wrong, she died the fur of a few of them before release. The next day, the colored mice were back.

She relented and became the mouse terminator.
And boyfriend had the upper hand in that relationship for ever more.

They drown extremely quickly from the chipmunks I have snuffed from dunking live traps.

The how long can they swim is the "gruesome" part, if that bothers you. I don't like it but I could do it if I had a problem.

I use the Victor electronics at home. Just look for the flashing light to signal success.

Up north, I use snappers and glue pads. I do like hearing the unmistakable sound of a snap trap taking a victim. I am surrounded by the north woods, living in their hood and offer plenty of goodies. Damned if I can find their entry point but it has to be big enough to drag acorns in as I found my fishing/boat daypack half full of them where it was hanging on a door?????
WAR COMMENCES when I open this spring.

Not squeamish. Those little critters carry some nasty diseases. Read up on hantavirus sometime. Besides, what are you saving? 1 or 2 quarters?

You are sadly mistaken. He may win a battle here and there but he will always lose the war. Remember this little quiz:
If a man is speaking in a forest and his wife is not there to hear him, is he still wrong?

I reuse the traps. I wear my disposable mechanic gloves when I reset them. Two things. Keeps me clean, and in a weird way I think I don’t put my human scent on the traps.

I can clean out a population. I like the cheapo snap traps. I buy them from the dollar store. Snickers bars for bait. And I put the bait UNDER The trigger plate. No rodent can steal my bait ever. It works awesome.

My friend swears by cheesewhiz from those squirt cans. He adopted my bait location.

The spinning can of death nabbed another victim last night but this time in the attic. Heard him the last couple of nights chewing on dog knows what. Now blissful silence.

as the origional OP................


death reigns supreme.

2 more dead buggers,


These topcat plastic snap traps are lethal.

one month update.


Do these things ever stop? Nailed at least one every 3rd or 4th day. 8-10 all.


From death they stare at me.
