Bloody mice

[bresker]

It's harvest time here in the northern hemisphere, and my house backs on to a big field. Every year at this time, the farmer cuts his crop and the mices flee and invade my loft.

I caught 13 mice in 13 days last year in traps. And they kept coming. I switched to poison in the end, as I couldn't keep up with the little ba$*****.

Sometimes the traps would break their spines, but the mice would keep going from the waist up, like rodent paraplegics. So I would give them to my Jack Russell to finish off. Cruel, I know, but I really hate mice.

I can hear them scrambling about in the loft now. Noisy little feckers. I bet they are fecking and breeding.

The worst mices I ever saw when I was fruit picking in Murchison/Tatura. You never seen mice like orchard mice. Balls of steel. As soon as the lights went out in the TV room they were running up and down my legs and over my arms. No fear. There were too many to trap so they bred like,well, rabbits. I killed a few with a shoe.

I hate mice.

And don't say get a cat.

get two lions and a jaguar

Good idea. The two lions can round up the mice and he can run them over in his new Jag

 

[Ry009]

Get Jack Watts

 

[DoubleO7]

Get a rat.

Greyhounds love mice (as a snack). I highly recommend you get one.

Move to a mice free continent.

 

[Invigoration]

Stop living under a bridge.

Mice? That's nothing. I've been trying to catch a lorikeet & a massive magpie that got into my house in the past 2 hours.

I feel your frustration. We had them for the entire winter last year. Started just in the kitchen and worked through the house, eventually there was only 2 rooms in the house the little shits didnt go to.

Youd be surprised how hard it becomes to sleep when you can hear mice in your floorboards and in between rooms and scratching around.

They slowly become more audacious too.

Enemy of ze republique de France, yer ars condemned to la guillotine. Viva la France!

But seriously, find a humane way to deal with the issue. Google is good.

We've got one in our kitchen so I told my flat mate and he says:

"Aye, kill the wee bastard. He disnae even pay rent"

Try hitting your missus.

Had to Lol at that one!

In all seriousness, if your Jack was half decent it'd be catching the damn mice for you. I grew up on a farm and we had a barn full of annoying rodents. All we had to do when their numbers got out of hand was lock our two Jack Russells in the barn overnight and come morning there'd be piles and piles of mice and rats. They were bred for that purpose, so use them for it. We also had a few barnyard cats who would take out their fair share as well.

My poor old Jack is 16, completely blind from cataracts and mostly deaf. She's still full of life but when she can't see a tennis ball 2 inches from her nose, I fear her mouse catching days are over.

Re: humane traps. What is the point? I could release the mice in the countryside, but they'll just run straight back into the nearest house. I'd just be creating a problem for someone else.

Mice are a$$holes, they are your enemy. Don't be crying over them.

Maybe I could trap them and take them to my local snake or owl sanctuary.

You think that is bad. I was a 12 year old kid when i went through this. To this day i have never seen anything like it, this is what they mean by bloody mice.

I still remember the day i left my school shoes outside and the next day mice had chewed the shoes almost to the soles.
