Prolly be a lot faster - the son of a squeak had run all through the place by the time it finally snapped shut on him

But you know what? An aquarium full of pirhana's under the roller is another great idea... potentially very entertaining as well

Congrats!

Keep that trap handy. Sometimes there can be more than one infiltrator.

Prophetic words truly spoken. I bagged MM2 just this morning in an adaptation of a normal glue trap.

The can has both ends cut out so that lids can be slapped on for transport and disposal, but it makes a straight run though that holds the glue board in place so that it can't mess up the floor.

(sometimes the glue will run off the cardboard, or the glue board can flip over)

Looks like a lowrider that ran out of pavement, don't he?

Wolf 2. MM invaders 0. But I wander what they may be doing to your trucks while they have your attention in the house? Your next post: MM chewed wiring, Truck caught fire, Wiring shorted out. LOL Maybe time to do some recon out there?

on the subject of mice and cars a few years ago my freind and i were in his jeep and he hit the washer fluid button to clean his windshield and for some reason it smelled god awful!! it didnt hit us until he used the washer fluid a few more times to notice where the smell was coming from..

so we pulled over and popped the hood and what we found was a mouse had crawled into his radiator overflow canister (which shares its space with the washer fluid container)..and it had been boiled to death and there were bits of fur flesh and bones on the canister..man that reacked to bad!!! just thought i would share..

The score is now
Wolf: 3
Mice: 0

I haven't seen anymore signs for a while yet, the next one I just might superglue a large fishook onto its back and try a spot where I think a big Bass might be lurking...

Keep up the good work Wolfie, with your track record I may need some tutoring!!

I am gonna have to get busy and **** off the squirrels around here, I have a big hickory tree in my front yard and the little BAS****S bring the nuts to my front porch to strip off the outer hulls, they are a pain in the butt to clean up, but a pain in the FOOT when you step on them barefooted!!!!

Wanna have some fun?

Cut up a glue trap into one inch squares and set the squares glue side up around the edges of the porch where they have to go through them...

A glue trap isn't going to hold a squirrel in place - but the sticky little squares will not only get stuck to them, they'll carry them off with them and have one helluvva time getting them off of themselves. The fuss they'll raise will be reward enough in itself, but if you got some video of one of them trying to dislodge a sticky little piece like that (and getting it more & more stuck) it ought to be well worth the price of the trap to begin with.

~Just don't step on any of them yourself

*Works hilariously well on stray cats too

Another pretty funny one is to tack a few pieces of glue trap to random places on the tree trunk - when they run through them it screws them all up

WHY?

Everyone needs an adversary to both keep them sharp and provide an outlet for stress
(or so I was once advised by a man who claimed to be a qualified psychologist)

But then, that was back in the seventies - so the man may well have been attempting to justify his own excuses......


It is still funny as hell to see a squirrel get momentarily stuck while running up and around a tree and spazzz out completely

Ya wild life is fun. Try 3 fish hooks and leaders tied together with bait on each hook and let 3 Sea gulls get a hold of it and try and fly off. What a Hoot. Or feed a Raven a hot pepper in the snow and watch him run along like a snow plow scooping up snow. Not that I ever done anything like that ya know, I just heard of it.

On a boat coming back to Ensenada (Baja California - la Fronteria) I watched a man tie a short line to two hooks.

He put two of the sardines we didn't use, one on each hook, whirled them over his head and let them go like a "BOLA"...

A seagull grabbed one, another chased the other end. When the second one caught the hanging bait - they spun around and crashed into the sea to die together for nothing

You know what he said to me?


"In MEXICO - there is no such thing as cruelty to animals"
He was smiling at the time

What moral you draw from that I leave to you
