The mouse in my house

I live in the country and well country homes especially in the fall have mice coming into them. They are looking for a warm place to live that has food.
So every fall I set traps for them and also have my cat who catches about one a day. So between him and I we make a good dent on the little bastards.
Well for the last few days I have been trying to catch "ninja mouse" I have baited the trap with the old favorite peanut butter, have tried jam, tried cheese. and even tried ketchup. All to no avail. This "ninja mouse" over and over cleans the trap without springing the trap. Leaving his signature mouse shit for me to clean up. I have on intention to give up. I just need to find something he cannot easily clean off. I want something he has to apply pressure to clean off so he ends up dead.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to capture/kill "ninja mouse" ???????????????????????????
 
If the snap trap has a sensitive setting, use that instead. Make sure you're putting whatever you use for bait only on the BACK of the trigger. A lot of people will slather PB over the whole yellow trigger, but they can then nibble off the very edge setting the trap off and not getting caught. Then they can clean off the rest of it. So just a small amount on the very back of the trigger will force them to step onto it.

You can also try using a small piece of cotton soaked in water. The thing they need next to food is nesting materials.

Oh, and be sure you're putting the traps perpendicular to the wall. A lot of people set them parallel with the wall to take up less space. This cuts your odds of catching them in half.
 
I have had 2 ninjas this year, one at home and one at the lake. PB is my go too and funny thing “natural” PB did not work but within a day crappy Kraft PB did

For the other one had to resort to the warfen traps. Those ALWAYS work for me but takes a week or two for them to die. The good thing is they take the warfen back to the nest so you get the whole family.

Hey Bull, got the same problem at home.

Now the best solution i found is this!



Don't forget to empty the bucket and not let them swim in there for a month loll
 
My cat Pooh often brings birds into the house. He doesn't kill them. Two years ago he brought a mouse, dropped it in the living room and the mouse fled. I couldn't find it until one day I noticed maggets under the kitchen sink. I asked a handy man to place traps behind the kitchen furniture even though I am 100% against animal cruelty. Mind you these mice make I don't know how many babies and I didn't want an infestation .... I found three or four dead babies in the bedroom once.
 
Ive been fighting these little fuckers the last few weekends at the cottage. Got six last weekend. Left 16 traps when i left sunday. I have been using peanut butter cups. Press them really hard onto the bait lever. I put big gobs on there cause the bastards are greedy. So far so good.
 
A circle of mouse and rat traps, total overkill like in a Tom & Jerry cartoon.

I had a ninja rat that could set off traps and then eat the food, and thats what got him after a month of attempts. I had 8 traps set up with the good bait on the first trap to get him in the center and less food on the outer traps. He set off the first trap and the 'snap' probably spooked him and when he ran back he stepped on one of the outer traps. Game over!

Fuck turkeys..... you could club the cunts at my dads house. Lol.

I always found it funny the guys that would dress head to toe in camo with their xtra full choke etc to hunt turkeys.... I know different animal than what I’m used to.... I could literally walk off my dads back deck and beat the fuckers to death at will...lol

Wild turkey is pretty good.... but it’s dry cleaner mpared to domesticated turkey.... and feathering the cunts is a law and order crime scene at best.... especially after a few beers....As such.... fuck turkey hunting.
 
Glue boards as mentioned above are the best. Bit of peanut butter in themiddle. Fold in half then step on it.
Ninja mice cannot escape them. If your cat steps n it use baby oil to unstick the paw, or cut the hair off. You won’t be able to just rip,it off, lol.

As a note, I had poison in a bag on the shelf in my garage, the stupid bastards ripped open the bag and ate it, lol. I don’t have garage mice this year.

Plus my cat wipe out everything in the neighbourhood,
 
I bought a new kind of plastic trap that has little spikes on the top snap down portion. These things cost a bit more than the standard wood and wire traps but they work really well and I don't have to touch the mouse to release it. It is a better mousetrap

@IronRobi just turning the trap towards the wall made all the difference :) got that mouse and have gotten one a day since. Also putting the peanut butter on thin sure helped. Seemed if it was on thick the darn mouse could take it off without springing the trap. making it thin the bugger has to work at it and ends up dead. :)

I always have mice issues.. this year seems to be the worst year for them that I can remmeber

Anyways- use these traps, the ones with the big plastic paddle for holding the bait. The small metal paddles don't work that well.

Use this for bait.. you can buy it at homehard ware.. its sticky so the mouse must put a lot of pressure to on it to get it off. And it attracts them much better then peanut butter

At any given time I have about 10 traps set in my basement... And I have poison bait stations set in my crawl spaces all year round. Same goes for my garage...

I'd say find where they are getting into your house, but you probably have a older house like me so there's no way to completely seal it off...

I hate those fuckers.. This year they got into my wifes vehcile several times and made a nest in the engine compartment. This can easily cost thousand dollars of damage..

Good to hear! Small adjustments can make a huge difference with rodents. I've dealt with a ton of them over the years! Another good trick is to re-use the same trap over and over. Once it smells like other mice they'll be more comfortable going to it.
