i've had mice in my city apartment (brownstone) for the past 5 months or so, before that, i lived here for a year mice-free. we've had exterminators come out and put down traps, and i've caught about 7 or 8 mice in the traditional snap traps.right now i am upstairs with my bedroom door closed and can hear those f*cks squeaking loud as hell downstairs. i am offically freaking out and thinking of moving.

Seriously, I've been a vegetarian for 22 years but philosophically speaking I look at it this way: If I decided to go live in a bear's cave and eat his leftovers, he'd kill me dead in 0.nothing. Same goes for the vermin I'm afraid, certain insects notwithstanding.
so the point is that i should kill the mice like a bear would kill you? as to blogging about it - finding mice is no big deal, agreed, but i've never heard mice squeak like this. they deserve a reality television show or at least a tryout on american idol.
no, obama's grassroots campaign runs deep though. they might have been planted.
Now rats...thats another story!
Identify the entrance points in corners of your hallways and rooms, pump poison into them shits (with gloves on the mice will not eat the poison if it smells your hands on it), and clog them up with hardening foam. They will move on to another spot. contrary to what people believe cleaning up will do no good those fuckers eat anything and are opportunists
this is what i'm talking about. i don't get it though, if u caught them in the traps, weren't they already dead when you were drowning and stomping them??
still, that sh*t is
nah they're hard to kill ..... One of my pet mice got its back broken (long story) so i tried to kill it by drowning, and I swear with a broken back and all the fucker still swam around for about 10 minutes.....
If you have no pets in the house, poison is a good weapon, but some poisons are piss weak got to get the heavy duty shit. Another cool weapon is those little terrier type dogs, they got a natural hunting instinct for them.
Have they chewed into your records covers or anything?
To me the most humane thing to do is drown them in the toilet. People try to free them off the traps by peeling them off but trust me that shit is probably no fun for the mouse. Plus it's brick outside you gonna leave them outside in a snow pile so they can freeze? That's why they came in your house in the first place. And trust me if you just leave the trap there to squeal they will eventually find a way off the trap. I've seen it happen.
Listen it's an epidemic and it's fucked up but you gotta kill them because they will stay as long as you let them.
It's really not how clean you keep it I read about mouse behavior (know thine enemy) and they do not respond to trash or food scraps necessarily it's about moving in mass to a new habitat.
PLus these landlords do not clean the buildings for shit if you neighbor got roaches you do too.

real quick on glue traps: about 5 years ago i started my job in philly in an office thats on the 27th floor. i took the office of a dude who was apparently notorious for eating every meal at his desk. my first day i brought in a brand new briefcase and laid it down next to this small couch that sits adjacent to the desk. at the end of the day i picked up my briefcase and there was a glue trap stuck to the bottom....with a dead mouse attached to it. most repulsive experience of my life....until now.

Killed them all in about a week. Just make sure that this is the only source of food for them.
and i run a nutrition program wher ei cook a lot of shit with kids.
so i gotta nip that mouse shit in the bud
i tried everything humane and it didnt work. glue traps baby.
i hate them, but i catch the fuckers and i give them to the sadistic high school boys to stomp out of existence. evry utensil and food goes in a sealed bin. fuck the bullshit. floors get swept and must be kept clean. hopefully htey pass through and move on to the dirtier rooms down the hall
when i first started working there, we used a storage closet that had big orange shelves. mice were shitting everywhere and my coworkers had given up. fuck that. i cleaned that bitch of a room twice. no cessation of shitting. so i pulled up the bottom shelf of the bookshelves (which were right on the floor) and BINGO...there was big shredded confetti balls under each one full of mouse babies and shit. so look for those nests.
PETA betta not catch you out there, son!
I had one roomate who used to catch them by the tail and throw them out the window 6 floors up.
problem solved, at least for now.
isn't this water boarding?
buddy, you gotta send a message
ultrasonic things never worked in my experience
best thing is actually a cat
duh
Plus, they carry the Hanta virus. They shit it out, and when the shit dries and turns to dust, it becomes airborne. Hanta virus will destroy you liver, and can kill you as a result. Most cases are mistaken for liver disease caused by alcohol abuse.
I have no pity for mice. It's them or me.
AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
when i lived in london that was the only thing that would keep me sane, watching the mice, whenever there were delays on the northern.
i remember the huge ass rats as a kid that lived behind all the cafe's on U street here in dc back in the day. they've gotten a little smaller over the years. probably cause all the new white people, all they eat is salads or sprouts.
