Chopped the head off a rat once with a cavalry sabre. I was rather proud of that stroke, took the head clean off, just part of the shoulder attached, and didn't hit the ground with the blade (just as well, cos it was concrete, wouldn't have wanted to nick my blade)

No! not peanut butter......well....not if you want to catch MICE...cos this morning i was in the workshop here and heard a "SNAP" then a godawfull commotion....turns out a wee sparrow (airborne mouse!) had tried to investigate the peanut butter in the mousetrap at the back of the workshop....he was ok when i let him go but damn he was swearing black and blue in sparrow-language!
For those of you wondering how the birdie survived - it's one of those "gentle" mousetraps that allows you to catch the buggers and let them go...don't ask me why we have it, but it's probably a good thing since i step on the bastard regularly!![]()
Perhaps you should read "The Hitch-hikers' guide to the Galaxy". You will see that mice ARE out to get us for ruining their experiment.Originally Posted by TonyB

Time to ride
THE ONLY REASON ID LIVE CAPTURE IT IS TO KILL IT SLOWER THAN A TRAP. I FUCKEN HATE MICE AND AS NICE AS YOU MAY BE YOUR ENDANGERING YOUR FAMILYS HEALTH LETTING HIM LIVE LONGER , MICE EAT DOG SHIT AND RUBBISH THEN WALK ALL OVER YOUR KITCHEN
Good on you for not wanting to kill the bugger.
I had the same problem a while back, a little mouse would run around the house in the evenings looking for anything my kids might have dropped. I keapt catching glimpses of it out of the corner of my eye. So i mannaged to block the hallway with a cupboard door leaving only a tiny gap that lead in to a hole in a 36 pack beer box. I spend a good hour chasing the mouse arround and finally got it in the box. I then keept it in an aquarium for 2-3 weeks while my 2 girls and me feed it and opserved it. They named it rose. Then we took the hole thing in the car and drove to a feild and set it free. My girls talk of it now and again. saying things like "I hope rose have found a place to live, its could outside"

Alas, I think the mouse is now wary of the trap. I tried a 1.5 litre fizzy bottle as it would be harder to jump out of, but from the looks of it the bottle moved around too much when he was trying to squeeze in. So at the moment I've got an extended milk bottle (two taped together). Don't think my furry nemisis has been near it. I'm sure the idea would have worked first time out if I'd used a suitable bottle. I'll try putting some peanut butter in it tonight. Then I'll try the ruler, old rubbish bin and peanut butter idea. If that doesn't work, then I'm afraid this mouse is going to find that he gets really thirsty- I already have the bait.![]()

I perfected the 14 mega hits of doom, with my crutches when i had em. No mouse was safe under the shoe rack anymore. Most didnt even have noticable bones anymore.![]()

Had one in my room once, couldn't sleep with it scurrying round, so created a funnel with books and boxes leading to a howitzer shell i had and drove it in to there.Originally Posted by Odin
THen put the shell with a book on it in the hallway for mum to see when she got up in the morning as she didn't believe I had a mouse in my room, she sure yelled loud for a non-existent mouse.
Well, if you're going for the luxury foods, give 'em chocolate or some coffee. Rodents have high metabolic rates, and stimulants like that can cause heart failure. And (for those pest-lovers) at least they'll die happy!Originally Posted by Biff
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....![]()
Uh, air pistols, yeah I can see that. Rifle, well maybe, gonna splatter him a bit but it'll work. Shotgun, well you're gonna make a bit of a mess. But a HOWITZER ? Don't you think that's a bit of an overkill (note clever pun here ) .Originally Posted by sAsLEX

Sorry didn't explain that very wellAnyway, I've seen them at some pet shops and I think some of the hardware places sell them.
You could always try the holistic way. Was watching a show on tv "Riverside Cottage'?? where he got in a mouse whisper to do a sort of ceremony with crystal, candels etc where she very very politely asked the mice to leave his house and go live down in the garden shedThe scarey thing was that the mice actually moved (either that or he went out with the poison while the camera's weren't about!)
It's all fun and games until someone loses a hymen
so what was in the candles then?
Make him wade around in a half inch of water so he can't climb the sides, but give him a freebee dash of peanut butter tonight as a "peace offering" so he isn't suss' about walking the plank tomorrow.Originally Posted by TonyB
