Park Slope Brownstone Mice

aside from pooping on the stove.
does vermin give a CRAP about YOU ?
no
i suppose i could have been judgemental and made a snide comment at laura for making snide comments and being so judgemental of/at others over how they kill mice but that seemed like 2 wrongs not making a right. -
this is unnecessary... just because the vermin doesn't have the capacity to give a crap about you doesn't mean you have the right to torture it. (and i'm no member of peta, and i believe in killing vermin. but torture? i don't think so.

ANCHOVIES! BAAAAAACON! GETS 'EM EVERYTIME! -
i dont see where i condoned torture. kindly dont put words in my mouth.
i just purport that its uneccessary and "not nice" for someone who clearly has an issue with the disposal of vermin in general to make snide remarks and be judgmental.
indeed if the topic itself is so troublesome rather then accusing others of sadism , individual should consider their own masochistic tendencies.
people do have trouble with mice.
this was a helpful thread. -
then perhaps i am incorrect, because i gleaned you were advocating glue traps

its a MOUSE -
NO GLUE TRAPS! Those things are horrible. I went home for a week for X-mas and came back with a mouse problem. Caught I think 4-5 total and have not seen one since. I caught the first 2 or 3 in snap traps with peanut butter than saw another one, I called management to complain and they sent an exterminator. The guy shows up to my apartment asks me where I saw the mice and than goes on to pull some glue traps out of his bag and set them up. This was all he did besides looks for holes in obvious places that I already checked (under the sink, around pipes, etc) . Anyway next morning I woke up to the sadest site I have ever seen a mouse barely moving stuck in a glue trap. Not quite dead and not really alive, it looked so sad and hopeless. After freaking out for a bit I picked up the trap tossed it in a bag, ran outside and stepped on it. Never again will I use glue traps. I keep one snap trap baited with PB in my apt at all times just to be sure there aren't any mice around. snap trap and peanut butter always gets em.

I dunno about PS mice, but I've caught two in the past two weeks in PH by placing a plate full of crumbled up cookies in the middle of the kitchen floor and surrounding it with a death ring of plus-sized glue traps. I caught the first in about two minutes after laying down the vermin carpet bomb. The second one held out for another week or so, but I got 'em eventually.
Last summer I also had a mouse commit suicide by jumping into a small plastic fan I had running on the livingroom floor. I thought it was a huge wad of lint thumping around on the blades until I touched it and found it had a skeleton. Fan and victim promptly hit the garbage pail.

Gross!
I use a cat.
The other night, I thought I heard a woman crying outside of my window on the street. Maybe it was the wind, but it woke me up. I looked outside of my window and instead of a lady crying, I saw a rat.
I need to move. -

ok, i'm not saying that we should let these mice go, i'm saying that i, personally, don't believe it's ok to torture them. -
My husband, who is about as far from a bleeding-heart PETA vermin-lover as you can get, has sworn off glue traps forever. He once caught a mouse in one; by the time he found it, it had literally yanked one of its front limbs off and was bleeding all over the trap, slowly dying. He had to put it in a bag and stomp on it. He was really horrified by the experience. From now on we use good ol' fashioned snap traps.
We've had another infestation recently -- these things do seem to make the neighborhood rounds, don't they? -- and we've had good luck the last few times supplementing traps with the heparin-based poison pellets. The only problem is that this time the rodent/s in question seem to have expired in a place that we can't find, but can smell. Oh well; the smell will recede in a few days, and we'll hopefully have a few mouse-free months before the whole meshuggas starts all over. -
do dogs scare mice away at all?

My neighbors upstairs had a mouse crawl under/into their stove and die. It began to stink up their place, so they cranked up their oven for a couple hours until the smell cooked away.

I don't mind when the mice legs come off because it saves me time de-boning them if I'm using them in an omelette. -
