Mice are killing me....

[NUTTSGT]

Learned a trick from a professional critter trapper. Cut off Slim Jim beef sticks and force them over the metal tang on a rat trap. Rats can't resist the Slim Jim and will get smacked because the food doesn't come off easily.

I use Twizzlers on the Victor traps.

Victor mousetraps and tootsie rolls.

Rat Zapper, battery powered with some dry dog food. I have killed plenty of rats in my attic with these. super easy.

We're down here in SE KS. I'll just get this out right now: I hate cats. We used to have a heck of a problem with pack rats and mice. I used bar bait, traps and every other toxic rodent killing cocktail known to man. The only way I finally cured the rat / mouse problem was Picking up a couple of free barn kittens. They stay outside in the barn and keep to themselves. We feed them table scraps and a bit of cat food, but just enough to keep them around. I haven't seen a pack rat since we've had these cats. We haven't had a mouse in the house, either.

Check out Shawn Wood's "Mousetrap Monday" videos on youtube.

Here is a link to the one of the best traps he has found.

I use bucket traps. Run a wire through a plastic bottle and bucket smear with peanut butter put a ramp for them to climb up it works great, the one pictured is in my greenhouse got ten mice the first week no more since, and no plants getting nibbled on.

Tried this with them darn Norwegion tree rats coming out of the swampy area behind the house. Caught a couple first night then after that my peanut butter would be gone and the can was spotless clean. Thought i had a cat in the barn or something else because this went on for several nights. Put my game cam in the barn on video and was shocked at what i recorded. One rat would stretch out and hold the can still while one or two more would eat then they would swap. They did this everytime for a week and never caught another rat.
Got tired of feeding them so i used one-bite in them little packets scattered all around the barn and bait stations in the chicken yard. Took me about 3 months before i stopped seeing them.

Should have wired it up to some power. One rat makes contact but it takes a second one to complete the circuit.

do a search on youtube for quicksand trap - it's the latest new idea in mouse traps

also the other bucket traps work well, walk the plank and log roller
