Caught 12 Mice Today

[BiscuitNaBasket]

I'm still counting but so far I've caught 12 mice today. This morning I cleaned out a tote that the mice had chewed through to get to the tea boxes then I vacuumed the crumbs up. I took the dogs to the park to get some fresh air and when I came back I found these two guys stuck in the Dust Buster!!!

5 gallon bucket, 1x4, 2 gallons water, some corn meal, frozen corn, etc... You should be able to figure out where this is going...

Was this your house?

This is what I use in my garage with peanut butter. Just fish the dead ones out every few days.

12 or 2? Title and information about video says 12. Video says 2. How did they taste, what spices did you use?

Yep. It's brilliant, cheap, and effective.

For those of us who are less informed/experienced, would you mind sharing how exactly to set this up?

Thanks.

I've got a really fat cat but all he does is catch it and toy with it. Sometimes he lets it go.

I've seen youtube videos of people doing that. I'll have to rig something up tomorrow.

Yeah all twelve mice have been caught in the same room though. Two mouse traps aren't cutting it.

In the last two days I've caught 12 individual mice. Two of the mice were caught in the dust buster. A little garlic salt with some Sriracha sauce goes a long way!

I tried this, no luck.
Wound up doing a trigger job on a few traditional traps.
Polish and spring adjustment with a dremmel.
With those I got two out of the garage in one night..

The week before, I was out there on the web and watching TV.
This little mouse ran up on the workbench, stood up on his hind legs, and stared me down.
From there, it was war.....

Mine was a modified version of my squirrel trap.

I've done the same but never thought of calling it a "trigger job" but I guess that's exactly what it is.

I found the triggers on most mouse traps are far too insensitive out of the box (i.e. unless you have a hoss of a mouse jumping up and down on the trigger, mice don't tend to set them off).

The bucket trick worked good for me - but you have to find something the mice like that smells well. Dried feed poured into the water in the bucket tends to make quite the aroma to attract the mice.

One ran up to me and stood up in front of me (as if to say, Nanananana!) and then ran off... In my living room... Let's just say the wife screamed and we went on an all-out offensive.

Since setting up the bucket we've had none in the house.

You're welcome

I killed #13 with a trap and just killed #14 with a shoe as I was walking up stairs. I saw it sitting on the step, took off my shoe, and wham! Mouse mush.

Most exciting sport ever

my girlfriend got the glue traps because they ate the pbutter off the others. we caught a couple, but then I had to take them out ans shoot them with a bb gun. I'm not sure I like it

The farm field kitty corner to us was developed, so we had an invasion a few years back. I've tweaked spring traps and caught many that way. They all seem to be gone now. I even caught a couple of shrews with peanut butter. I put bead chains on them and thumbtack them to the wall so they don't get carried off.

sounds like you need a good barn cat my friend
