Getting rid of a mouse

[Canuk]

Today I'm gonna try what my neighbour suggested: sardines. Evidently peanut butter ain't too good liking.

No more Mr. Mice guy!

Yeah sardines might well work. We found trout and salmon irresistible to them

I made boxes for the traps, and baited the outside with sardines oil. I remember when he first visited it was a bin bag outside with an (empty) sardine tin inside. Hopefully fish will be it's downfall.

No more Mr. Mice guy!

Seems strange they like fish but they seem to love it!

Thinking about it, it would’ve been tinned tuna not salmon. If the sardines fail try that

different species require different methods:

House mice ought to go for the smelly bait, and are caught quite easily in those plastic traps.

Voles aren't interested, and get caught crossing a trap in their path.

Mains ultrasound squeaker works at driving them out of the walls and roof space.

Poisoned rodents can crawl into an inaccessible space and rot away smellily

Does said neighbour no longer have a mouse problem? Perhaps the sardines have driven them away (to your house).

I suspect the opposite often happens and you end up drawing them in; “there’s a wicked buffet ‘round at no 10 - peanut butter, chocolate, everything! Bring all yer mates..”

... or you get an infestation of sardines instead

stick some small pieces of dark chocolate into the peanut butter.

Jesus, you'll be catching me in one of these traps soon!

Yeah, was thinking that. Damn mouse eating better than me and you talk about humane?

Next it will be having aperitives with salty snacks, bearnaise sauce on the peanut butter, a cheese platter with wine, and cognac with that chocolate.
