Peanut butter

Seconded

This is now a mice/rat thread. Post your mice/rat recipes below

Position an anvil on top of a stepladder, and dangle a piece of cheese from the ladder's hinge so it closes the ladder when pulled. The trick here is that the anvil is tied to a canon's trigger mechanism, which will fire a canon ball through the floor below the cheese and unleash the killer bees trapped below the floorboards.

some can lick it without setting off the trap, a french frie never fails me

>>16718781
when you catch them do you cook them? i caught one and put it in pic related, my juicer. added some nice, clean protein to my veggie juice

>>16718837
To be safe, you should poison the bait.

>>16718785
I've had good results with peanut butter. Sometimes the little baby fuckers are too light to trip the trap and I use marshmallow fluff or jam a fucking raisin in there so they gotta work for it.

Mash up a Mounds bar in its wrapper. Snip the corner and squeeze it all over the trigger.

>>16719494
You can also mash some bread in over the top. They'll smell the peanut butter, but will have to remove the bread to get to it instead of just licking the peanut butter off.

I put the bait (something I can smear on like peanutbutter or a fruit chew) on the far edge of the trigger pad. this way hopefully they have to reach up and put their weight on it and due to leverage it requires the least force.

>>16718781
This solved all my problems. Just let the little guys go outside, they didn't mean any harm.

>>16719718
I heard they just find their way back, even if you put them far away. I guess you could drive them to a forest though..

>>16719718
Then it finds a mate, breeds, and three of its children turn up in your home.

I had about a dozen mice in my house, trapped them and put them right outside my door on the front lawn, never saw a mouse again

>>16718781
>Mices
It's meese.

>>16718945
Seems like an unnecessary step

>>16719757
They learned to avoid the weird green tubes. Or something outside ate them.

>>16719718
>not the hecking mouserino

>>16719735
If there's a place where mice are getting into your home, patch it up

>>16718781
Had a rodent problem for months due to a lot of nearby construction ruining the spots they were living at. Would catch one a week in glue traps or those mouse motel traps and fuck it was getting tiresome.

Had to put bread and other countertop stuff in the fridge, spent more and more time cleaning in the hopes that they'd go somewhere else finding nothing... nope. The three things that really solved it were the following:

>emptied cans of either pest-proof or fire-control spray foam (they can eat through the regular stuff) under the sink, behind the toilet and in every corner that was hidden by something I couldn't move and verify wasn't sealed properly.
>got the landlord to tear the ivy off the side of the building because I saw a goddamn mouse come in the kitchen window off said ivy. He was happy to oblige, since ivy isn't very good for the building's foundation anyway.
>got a cat. absolute deal sealer right there.

get a cat
it doesn't even need to actually catch anything; just its presence will scare them away
>>16719735
>I heard they just find their way back, even if you put them far away.
they are not geographical geniuses and they don't have a magic compass in their brains

Get a cat.
A dog might work too, depending breed / disposition / training.
If you hate them more than anything, move to Alberta.

If you don't want a pet, cloths soaked in cleaning ammonia and left in likely hiding areas will resemble the scent of predator urine and discourage rodent activity.

animals love love love the taste of anti freeze too

>>16718781
Just use glueboards
>but the suffering, it's a crime against rodentia!
Check the traps often and dispatch them as you find them.

>>16720060
Rodents should suffer for entering my home and shitting in my cupboard.

>>16719735
That's possums

>>16720069
Sure, genghis but you're the sentient species. Show some magnanimity.

>>16720081
They had the choice of not shitting and shitting.
They chose the option of death.
[spoiler] mice are sentient too

>>16720081
*Sapient

>>16720087
Oh, I'm not saying don't kill them. Just don't let them die of thirst/starvation. Give them a good smack with a hammer in a bag or something.
That's why I said dispatch.
Some people throw the boards in the trash with a live mouse stuck to it.

>>16720099
Oh i do kill them, i just miss the first hammer swing on purpose.
They just freeze up, sometimes they even start eating the bait like they know it's their last meal.

i just put a cardboard box in a corner and chase them into it then put them outside
if they go under furniture just poke a broomstick around underneath it

>>16718785

this, only a little bit smeared on the very back of the trigger

>>16718781
Gas is an effective method for getting rid of rodents. I would look for one that doesn’t deep through wood as it is the safest and most reliable

The roller traps are great, they can fill a bucket with mice don't need to be reloaded more than once a day if that, Don't hurt birds or larger animals. If the roller isn't working then the tilt and drop ones also work well.

>>16720091
Had it right at sentient, mice are not sapient.

>disgusting house
clean up after your stupid pets' once they're finished eating
soak your goddamn dishes - no longer than two days
hire pest control to determine the source
hire patch the fuck source

Dude FUCK mice!

>mice problem for a few months
>try to plug up the gaps under my doors
>still see mice in my kitchen every other day
>see one in the middle of the day run into my walk in closet
>pretty messy and mostly used as a storage space
>trap and kill the mouse with a broom
>take out everything and see pic related
>wat do?
>"I know! I'll put the babies outside under a tree and raccoons/dogs/cats/other mice will eat them! Quick and painless!"
>put them out that night
>leave for work the next morning and they're all still there making little squeaking sounds
>go to work and come home
>still there

>not frying them up for breakfast

>>16718781
I just have a cat. The second a mouse even thinks about coming in, she fucks the little nigger up. I haven't seen a mouse in three years, and I live in the woods in Montana.

>>16720269
A lot of cats like to carry live mice inside from outside to play with. It's not always the best solution.

>>16720285
Maybe, but mine is a vicious killer, she just breaks their necks straight away, and then she'll run up and down the house with it in her mouth, all proud and shit.
Get a Chihuahua or a jack Russell or some other rat hunting dog, they also just go straight for the kill.

>>16720291
To add to this, I tried to get a Chihuahua puppy in the beginning, because the mice problem was pretty bad at first and I thought that my cat could use the help. Came home from work and she'd murdered the puppy, broke its little neck, she waited for me to come home to bring him to me.

2nd story related to this time

>sitting on the couch playing vidya
>mouse crawls across the back cushions and onto the back of my neck
>"what the fuck!!"
>jump up from the couch and it falls onto the seat of the couch and tries to crawl under the bottom of the back cushion
>push the cushion down on top of it to pin it
>legs sticking out frantically trying to push forward under the cushion
>I can't move away or else it'll run free so I have to grab it
>*gently* grab its body with my thumb and forefinger
>tight enough to keep it from getting away but soft enough not to harm it
>fail
>slowly drag it out
>totally crimped its ribs together and the mouse had a defined hourglass figure
>dead as fuck
>feel sad
>intothetrash.png
>go back to vidya

RIP little buddy. Even though you were a fucking asshole vermin I tried to save you.

>>16720296
You kinda sound like you're very unfit to keep any pet.
Maybe you should just be grateful that the mice want to be around you.

>>16719718
i did that once but the little fucker just ran straight back inside when i let him loose

>>16720309
Fuck you, eat my ass, how was I to know she'd kill the dog, I never had a cat this vicious to other animals. She's a sweetheart to me, though. All of my animals are well fed and happy, I just have to keep Kitty away from them.

>>16718781
I used the same traps you have in your pic and baited them with peanut butter. It was a great genocide. BMW cabin air fans also work well.

>>16720334
I'm not much of a mechanic, but isn't that bad for the car?

>>16720322
I guess you could think that way.

>>16719526
fuck that sounds delish

>>16719739
that's kinda racist

>>16720081
based department just called for you bro

>>16720337
It was a pain in the ass to get the nest out and to clean the fan. Luckily the mouse hadn't chewed through any wires so it was all good

>>16720317
>I never had a cat this vicious to other animals
So what was the cat doing to the mice, dumbass?

Cats have extremely strong hunting instincts. How does anyone not know this?

>>16720307
lmao
kinda reminds me when I had a bat problem.
fuckers would keep getting in and not know how to get out so they were always flying around my living room.
just wait for them to land on a wall then go up behind them with a blanket and grab em, then throw them outside

>>16720362
I literally grew up on, and still live on, a farm, numbnuts, I know how cats can be, but I've also raised puppies around the meanest, nastiest, would eat your corpse in a heartbeat barn cats before, my whole fucking life, and never had a problem, until I left one fucking little ugly ass puppy around a cat that jumps on my lap and purrs every time I sit down. Suck a turd out of my shit encrusted asshole, and for the record I don't give a fuck about mice and my only regret is they died instantly and painlessly, when they deserve to die slow and in agony, just like your mother.

>>16720386
Ow le edge, truly fitting for a soyboy catfucker.

just a friendly reminder - if you have cats AND mice then your cat isn't a killer. mice aren't afraid of a scaredy cat. cats are smart enough to know if they can't survive taking on an actual rodent infestation i f it's one versus more than their claws.

>>16718785
Nutella

>>16718945
nope. poisons are inhumane, not mention detrimental to anything else that will eat the dead rat.

Did I mention they just die somewhere in your walls and rot? no thanks.

>>16720356
this would piss me off so much

I put peanut butter on my penis and when I feel them I grab rhem

>>16718837
Holy kek

>>16720428
>offended by cats
sounds like the edgy soyboy is you

>>16719718
>that photoshop job
kek the traps suck so bad they couldn't even get a real mouse to go in one for the picture

>>16721246
that's a rat anon

>>16719494
This, for me I used peanut butter, gouda, and cherry preserves with rat traps. Put every one in boxes with a tiny 2” hole to get in. Also none of it means shit if you are not investigating how they get in. If you are in a rental, you need a hot glue gun and thin plywood and a saw, as you need to provide a physical barrier to them entering in the first place. The traps are really just mop-up operations after you cut their infiltration routes off.

>>16720143
>drowning bucket full of corpses
that is wretched

>empty soda bottle
>funnel
>cheerios
little miceys fall into the funnel, get trapped in the bottle, and then they get to live happily in my little mouse castle.

Can you get a cat?

I haven't had mice in ages because of my cat
