Mouse traps

Sticky pad is the best I have used. The little bastard will naw a leg off to get away if they have too though.
 
You mean dinner plate?

Do a YouTube for mouse traps. I was amazed that there are channel(s) devoted to all sorts of designs. Some pretty cool, from an engineering or simplicity standpoint....some are kinda dumb / overthought.

I've always just use the ol traditional neck snappers for the palm sized varmints.
 
Are you trying to catch a couple strays running around your garage or is it an infestation of river rats? A good air rifle and scope will put a good dent in a wharehouse full of the big ones.
 
Been gone for 5 months. Wifey says she seen "signs" of mice but can't produce any physical evidence to support her accusations.
So it's my job as man O house to catch these phantom mice...

I've always had good luck with the $50 electric trap from tsc and some peanut butter, but it has produced no rodents.
 
Put one of those spicey burn your tongue off wings on the floor.....should kill off the manley rats, then the fem's won't be able to breed / get food. ;)
 
we have this problem in our shop every fall/winter. Victor mouse traps that dad makes have a hair trigger and we use peanut butter and cheese. We also put them in the places they likely come through like the gaps around the roll up doors and theres a drain hole.

At the old shop I worked at, we had this one mouse that would eat the bait but never set the trap off. This went on for weeks, I keep filing the trip on the trap to make it more and more sensitive. Finally I had such a hair trigger on it, it would 20 or 30 trys to set it before I got that little bastard.
 
I figured out if you take bread and lightly wet it you can ball that **** on the end and it will make it hard enough for them to get off it would trip. Like I said a sticky trap with a hunk of cheese in the middle is the easiest. I get a couple a year in the garage when the weather changes.
 
I get a bunch in the shop every fall. They love the peanut butter but like some of you said they eat the bait but the trap doesn't go off. If you stick a sunflower seed in the middle of the peanut butter that stops the problem 99% of the time.
 
I use the small green peanut butter flavored poison blocks that are made by tomcat.

They are freakin awesome. Break them in half and throw them into all 4 corners as well as any holes or cracks that they can get in and out.

Then sticky trap with frosted walmart cookies for the ones still hangin around.

Promise you may not see a mouse for a couple years.

The bomb!!
 
I grew up really poor, and had a old shitty house trailer we lived in, that was in the middle of rice and beans fields. In the fall when they cut the crops the trailer would get over ran with mice. My dad would put something in the kitchen floor to lure them out and shoot them with a red rider bb gun. :****:

My uncle who was a marine showed me the bucket trick.
