So it was really warm here yesterday and the parents opened up the house. Today I was sitting writing some stuff on my laptop and out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a little black thing scurry across the floor. There wasn't anything there when I looked so I thought maybe my mind was just playing tricks on me. So then I start to hear rustling. So I get up look around a bit and I finally pin point the sound. I picked up one of my speakers and about jumped through the ceiling when a little mouse ran like hell. So I ran and grabbed some gloves and my shoes. I come back and the little bastard is hiding in the binding of a notebook. I dive to grab it but he gets away quickly and he disappears. So off to buy some lovely glue traps and hope they bear gifts by morning.

Poor mouse. :(

Be prepared, when they get caught in the glue traps they scream like hell

Oh goodie.

Happen to have a snake? It could be double the fun. :D

Yeah, but then I'd have to get a mongoose to kill the snake and then something to kill the mongoose, etc.

You could use a ferret. And then get a coyote to get the ferret.

Then the coyote would be big enough to kill with a shotgun. Very good point.

No presents in my traps yet. Hopefully it's soon as I have a wonderful hammer with his name on it.

You NEED to video tape this.

Yeah, and call it "The Execution of Scrooge McRat"

You know, you could just take it down the block and let it go....

That is true but then nothing's stopping it from coming right back and getting in the way it got in before.

You're really gonna bash it with a hammer? Holy shit dude.

Why not just use a mousetrap then? I assumed you were using the glue traps so you wouldn't have to harm it.

I used the glue traps for the safety of my own fingers and because if they get caught in the glue they won't get out. Some of the mice manage to steal from the snapping traps without setting it off. Plus they sometimes get caught in the snapping traps funny and don't die right away.

And the saga ends. It seems the mouse found his way into the garage yesterday and fell into a bucket of water and drowned.

Suicidal mouse? AWESOME!

Hopefully it doesn't turn into a zombie mouse that has another little mouse carrying around an urn that holds the secret to it's zombie powers.

The UnderMouser?

Whoa, Mad Dog lives up to his name when it comes to dealing with small animals.


Poor mouse.

Did you name it Ben?

Or Socrates. Maybe Ben killed him out of jealousy?

You know what's very effective, but a bit of a problem? Those D-Con pouches. The little buggers can't resist em' so the eat 'em up and die. Only problem is, you rarely find the body.

In my old place, I found a fist-sized mousehole in a downstairs closet, so I dropped in a D-Con pouch. A few days later, I found a dead body, under my water heater. A few YEARS later, when I was moving, I found two more dead bodies under my washer and dryer. Partially decomposed and stuff. Ewwwww.
