Of Mice and Men…

So fellow Ghettonians, I’ve finally caught the little fucker that’s been running amok in my ceiling since I moved in here. Was trying to do it with standard traps but the fucker was just too damned good at avoiding them. So last night I decided I was gonna get the bastard with a glue trap: big dollop of crunchy peanut butter in the center, the holy grail of foragers! Came back to my room this morning and instead of little scampering running like crazy footsteps on the acoustic foam panels over head, I’m hearing struggling and squeaking. Now this presents a problem: I was hoping that he’d get the traps and die quickly and humanely, the glue trap was an absolute last resort and because he was dumb enough to fall for it he’s stuck, and still alive D: So now I’m not sure what I should do, should I leave him up there to die slowly? Should I put him outside to freeze to death? Should I try to remove him from the glueboard (although I’ve heard that they can tear off skin and break limbs doing that)? Or should I put him out of his misery with a BB gun or a sharp knife?

Either way I feel terrible that he’s probably dead either way and I’m the one that’s gotta carry out the sentence 🙁

EDIT: (20:05) Sentence has been carried out via close range gunshots.

Anyway, tits for feedback incentive.

  1. Glue traps are the worst of the worst. If you’re too stupid to learn how to set a trap properly so that it forces the mouse to trigger it you damn well deserve to have them run around freely.

  2. I was gonna suggest posting a video of him reading a list of your demands and then beheading the little infidel.  Supposed to scare all the other mice.  Maybe next time.

  3. So, obviously too late for this mouse, but in the future, if you’re reduced to using glue traps:  don’t bother trying to pry ’em off, mice just come apart if you do, leaving bits behind.  And you don’t want to touch the glue, it’s messy.  Pop the whole assembly in a zip-lock sandwich bag, press out the air, and seal it.  Then throw it in the trash.  Done.

    If they’re on your kitchen counter, I recommend filling the sink halfway with water and leaving it that way over night.  You can usually get a few that way, especially if your faucet is swung out over the center of the sink, with a loose treat like a peanut or a bit of chocolate at the end:  they go for it and slip off into the water.

  4. if it happends again. spray pam on him, or pour a little olive oil (don’t drown him in it) on him. he’ll come undone. i saved 3 baby mice at my ex’s by doing that. 🙂

  5. No, but only because I don’t have one.  I have to drain the sink, pick up the soggy little blob of fur, and dispose of it through the trash (I usually seal ’em in a ziplock baggie first).  On the rare occasions when I get mice during the warmer months, I try to bury them in the back yard to act as fertilizer.

  6. That made me think.  Wouldn’t it be cool if we did make the condemned read a paper prepared by his victims or their surviving families and loved ones before we executed them…  and televised it live?  Now THAT would be a high rating Reality Show. 

  7. my pops sets these whenever he leaves our family’s place “up nort”.  except he uses an aluminum can smeared with peanut butter in place of the plate.  quite effective…unless the little buggers are expert log-rollers.
