No pets policy in my building ...

[FMluvswater]

somebody oughta break it to the mouse that has been co-habitating with me for some time now. He's cute and all but he ain't helping me pay rent. Yeah of course I told the building manager- they gave me a sticky trap ... ever hear a mouse laugh? Told them again and I guess they're gonna send some pest control guy in next week. That little bastard is bold too! He comes out to play in plain sight right in the middle of my living room while I'm on-line!!! I tell ya I really wish I'd learned to use a slingshot. :mad: He isn't getting into any food or garbage and I ain't been feeding the little creep so no droppings but decidedly having a roomate cramps my style. I itch just knowing the little beast is in here. yuk It's like if someone mentions a kid you recently visited with has head lice ... ha ha dare you not to scratch your head even just reading the words 'head lice'! :D So if anyone has any ideas for how I can quick evict my squatting rodent roommate- do tell! Pest control is coming next week? Uh huh check's in the mail too I suppose. :rolleyes:

[FMluvswater]

Oh but see if I capture him and put him in a cage I could be evicted for having a pet. There really is a no pets policy in this building. I'd have no way to prove he wasn't caged all along. :mad: I'd like to trap the lil ****er in a plastic bag and drop a telephone book on him- that's what I'd really like. idea Oh okay :o I want someone else to drop the book on it while I'm far away from the splat?/squish? :confused: noise. :rolleyes:

[Rexone]

Put a couple raisins right in the middle of the glue board. Mice and rats love raisins. Just a tip from a guy who trapped about 70 rats in his attic before the roof got sealed off. Rat free for 3 years and counting now... :D
I got a couple record holders that I think weighed more than my smaller dog.

The only way a sticky trap will work is with a cheezit and a dab of peanut butter. Thats the only thing that has worked for me.

Not sure a telephone book would to the job actually.. ???
RD Well the security guard in my building said it worked when he tried it where he used to live. Apparently mice can fit into tiny crevices cuz their bones are soft- damn near liquid bones! Based on that I just figured it would make a splat noise not a crack noise ... however I'm thinking I really don't wish to either confirm or disprove either theory for myself. Thanks for the trap idea too though. If mouse still laughs at the sticky trap despite the addition of raisins I may yet resort to that. I could then just have the security guard come in and remove him ... if I can even successfully trap it under a box. frown

[Rexone]

The bad part about the sticky trap FM is it doesn't kill them lots of times. The flat blade shovel does though. :D I've also used snap traps very successfully with raisins. They're hard for the mouse or rat to steal off the trigger. The snap trap usually eliminates the need for the follow up with the shovel. Hope you've found this information helpful. :D

[Rexone]

As a follow up, a pellet rifle works well also. If used indoors though you may need a follow up treatment of spackel and touch up paint.

Does anyone want to find me after I have completely jumped out of my skin at the noise that makes? I'm highly caffeinated and paranoid and I live in a BAAADDDD part of the city, lol! Like I said I will try the raisin idea and if that is successful I'll have someone else remove and decimate my uninvited unwelcome guest roommate! I will admit that the shovel idea gave me an evil grin ... I have a very graphic imagination! devil Thanks for your suggestions Mike. :)

We just caught one! We just caught one! Naturally now that its harvest time we get quite a few field mice. Marcia was glad enough to scream when it ran by her then got stuck. Simple pick up and reload a fresh trap. The best is to get the larger rat traps (sticky) and see how many you can get on one trap.

[FMluvswater]

I'm insanely jealous of your success in trapping one. wink
Kill 'em all! devil

Let me see if I have one of FM flat against the ceiling with eyes twice the size of a normal human.

[Faster Daddy]

Found a little bastrd having a late nite snack in the bread basket. Wasn't gonna let this one get away, first thing I saw was a can of starting fluid. A couple of sprays in his direction and he could barley walk! Picked him up with the hot dog tongs and introduced him to the garbage disposal. Quick clean-up.
That little guy just crossed the line burningm

[FMluvswater]

Well damn! I'm SOL on all counts no garbage disposal and no starter fluid. :(
Good job BTW!!! :D

Actually FM mice are known for running up human's legs. They are attracted to the warmth of the human body. They just view it as a large warm pole to run up. (Until of course it starts violently shaking)

Two very simple ways to kill a mouse. First is to mix some cement and flower or sugar.Put this little snack out for the little bastard. wink

Maybe you could catch him, and then realase him back into the wild. That would be the naturically correct thing to do.
I've heard that mice can live in walls and essentially run up and down the wall (on the inside) Have you been hearing strange scratching in the walls lately?
How did he make out with your wired mouse last night? Any sparks?
But seriously, after he is caught, you will want to wash the place really good. Mouse droppings are germ and desease-riddled and can cause degredation of health, I believe.

[betty boop]

hey fm - been reading this thread for a couple of days now and it still makes me laugh - those little furry critters are pretty saucy aren't they? anyway, two things i agree with - if possible, catch him and let him go in the wild (way across vancouver if possible) and definitely wash the place out (landlord should be responsible for that i'm sure) hey, i'll bet someone in your building had him as a pet and he got out of the cage...that maybe where he came from.....my aunt moved out of her house one time and lost her 3 pet tarantulas (could you imagine)
anyhow - i don't believe in killing anything (i really have a hard time when it's fly season) so that is my .02 - hey, i have contributed to the beer fund finally... :D

But seriously, after he is caught, you will want to wash the place really good. Mouse droppings are germ and desease-riddled and can cause degredation of health, I believe. I think you are right he is probably gay - how else to explain his lone mouse status? I've heard of outcast lone wolves but a mouse? :confused:
No it's a brand new building there have been no scratching noises from inside the walls. The walls are quite thick and sound proof.
Well if there were any sparks between live mouse and wired mouse they used protection and left no evidence. wink
There have been no droppings sightings but of course when mouse is gone extra cleaning measures will be taken. Thanks for mentioning it. :)

hey fm - been reading this thread for a couple of days now and it still makes me laugh - those little furry critters are pretty saucy aren't they? anyway, two things i agree with - if possible, catch him and let him go in the wild (way across vancouver if possible) and definitely wash the place out (landlord should be responsible for that i'm sure) hey, i'll bet someone in your building had him as a pet and he got out of the cage...that maybe where he came from.....my aunt moved out of her house one time and lost her 3 pet tarantulas (could you imagine)
anyhow - i don't believe in killing anything (i really have a hard time when it's fly season) so that is my .02 - hey, i have contributed to the beer fund finally... Yes mouse is bold alright.
I'm sorry sunbunny look away hon mouse is doomed no capture and release. :( I have no qualms about an unwelcome rodent being killed. I always wanted a snake for a pet but could never stand the idea of giving him live food ... this is different ... this is my home and I happen to think my life and health are more important than the mouse's at this point. Maybe mouse will just never appear again and I won't have to do anything more about it. :) I'd love to know how mouse got in the building and why he decided to live in 101 with me. Ugh! I'd rather someone else had to be the tough one. I want mouse dead and gone but I'm squeamish about being involved directly ... there I admitted it. :o

Hey FM ,
I heard of this one guy that played the flute so well the little mousies would follow him arround. I heard he even rid a whole town of the pesky lil boogers ... cant remember his name though.
ANYBODY ??? The Pied Piper of Hamelin lol. I don't play the flute. I tried to play the clarinet in highschool. It wasn't that I wasn't good at it, it was that I was particularly bad at it! :D If I had a clarinet I could play it and mouse would leave of his own volition!! :D
So the update is ... no news. Mouse wasn't even drawn to the gourmet feast in the sticky trap.

Would you believe mouse is still my unwelcome roommate? How about this ...
you know the pro mouse traps? The ones that are baited with poisoned food pellets? Mouse has found a different use for those. Excercise equipment. I kid you not. Lil bastard uses them to practice hurdles. ****er. Watched him hurdle over it three times in one night. Beast disappears for weeks at a time and I start to hope that he's gone for good this time. He knows just when I start to believe this I think and enjoys mocking me then, by putting in an appearance. Why won't he just **** off? :mad: Sigh.
:rolleyes: :(

Wild guess what still lives with me? :rolleyes: Building manager assures me the pest control pros will be in next week. Uh-huh. That was after he tried offering me another sticky trap and me explaining that mouse ignores it and that mouse has managed to elude the pro poisoned bait trap as well. I'm just on pins and needles waiting to see what the pros will do about it this time - NOT! I'm nearly resigned to having a rodent as a part time roommate permanently. :mad: Sure, why not? He can be the building mascot. :rolleyes:
