OT: Mice

[Vancat]

I know mouse eradication has been discussed before. Just wanted to share my slightly shocking experience yesterday.

So, we have had mice here & there in the basement. We have a cat. She usually brings them upstairs to play with. Good kitty. Anyway, I can't seem to find where they enter, so I deal with it by either Havaharts (don't like to kill them) or a natural mouse repellent I just discovered (Grandpa Gus's if you are interested).

Yesterday I was outside putzing around. I had left a bucket by the stairs and the rain had filled it halfway with water. I rounded the corner and JESUS! there were like 8 dead mice floating in the bucket!

Not sure why....maybe that bucket was in a path they use jumping off the steps? Really weird...and sort of disturbing!

PS I refilled it after dumping the mice. I felt kind of bad doing that, but hey, if they want to commit suicide....

I regret starting this thread. How do I delete it?

I think you can just delete your original post in the thread and the entire thread will disappear. Although it's probably too late because after a day or so you can't edit or delete your own posts.

Thanks Hooper. Maybe Tom will see this and delete it for me. Anyway, didn't mean it to turn into a "disgusting ways you can kill mice" or "cats are vermin" thread. Something wrong with some people here. But I guess I asked for it.

Look at it this way: you started a conversation, and conversations evolve.
