Nobody Special Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Poison and cats for the ones you've got, mothballs to keep them away. Note - the big rats will move dryer sheets and mothballs sometimes. Played with the ultrasonic stakes too when we had gophers in California, they didn't work by themselves, but when combined with strychnine coated grass seeds it worked pretty well. It helps a lot if you change the poison occaisionally so they don't get used to the smell of one and avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notownkid Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Had a friend with mice problems in his storage shed over the winter, messed with all his small equip engines so he heard about the dryer sheets. put them all over the equip and shed stapled to the walls. Had a few left in the box so stuck it on shelf. came out in the spring and there was a mouse nest and babies in the dryer sheets in the box. Equip was still messed up. they must have certain ones they like and dislike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 If you decide to get a cat, try to get one from a litter of 'barn cats'. They will have been taught how to hunt from their mother. The every day city cat has no idea what a mouse is good for, food. It will play with them but not really hunt/kill them. If you use bacon for bait you might catch a blacksmith. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momatt Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 A mouse infestation can be so source of fun. I trapped one last winter using a miniature bear trap key chain with 3/4 inch jaw spread. I made a silly video of the antics. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6w6gWyvLYtY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Evans Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Rule number one, Don't get a cat. We used to get driven mad around hay and harvest time. Every couple of weeks a mouse would come in and take residence in one of the white goods. The dog would then go wild trying to get at them, The number of times I would have to take the cooker or the freezer panels off was a real pain. Apart from the damage the mice did to the insulation inside... We got a cat who is a brilliant hunter, I have seen her carry three mice into the house to play with in less than twenty minutes…Of course she kills about half of them...the dogs now go wild on a daily basis… :( Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
