Stow-away rodent chopped up and cooked

Every year I do battle with the mice in my carriage house. Last weekend I jumped in to do a bagel run and smelt something cooking. upon further inspection I found some scattered body parts. That's a snout pictured. Death to them all

A good mouse is a dead mouse.



Now mount it on a pike an display it outside the garage as a warning to any other trespassers. DIE MICKEY, DIE!

You may want to check inside the shroud for a nest that could cause a overheating cylinder issue.

The best mouse trap ever; just smear a little peanut butter on the bottle, 3 inches of water in the bottom, stand back and watch the fun.

Normally a mouse would be able to jump out of the bucket - I take it the water at the bottom defeats them..?

they will bring the dead mice they kill into your house, exposing you to any diseases carried by the mouse, or its fleas

then they will put scratches in your paint...

I'm glad I saw this thread in order to remind me to get the garage ready for the cooler temps.
We had about $2,000 in damage to both mine and my wife's cars a couple winters ago.

Now with the addition of the 911 I especially want to make sure those suckers don't decide to make a home in the warmth of our cars.

I normally do the bait, and so far only had one smelly mouse - it actually died in between the radiator and grill of my wife's car and was hard to spot.

I'm thinking of trying out the rat zapper this year.

This is a mouse's worst nightmare! He's a 16.5lbs. Mexican Fighting Tiger and hits like an 18oz. Estwing! You'd swear it was a small team of framers on the job. lol. Keeping the mouse population down in our 172 year old farm house since 1999.

Cats.

Dead, final, forever. Cats will clean house - I don't even think about this issue anymore, it is just gone from my mind, house, and yard. Get a pair so they can socialize with each other when you just want to watch The Game.
