get a cat.... ive seen my cat kill a mice. She was just playing with it like it was a toy until it died

My sister and I once got a rat in the engine bay while parked for the day at UBC. Guess it decided to make a nest in the nice warm engine block. We started backing up, and POP. Rat got caught in the serpentine belt, breaking its neck (still alive) and pulling the belt off all those pullies.

We just stood there and watched it twitch on the ground for a minute or two before it took its last breath. Nothing we could do. :( The engine bay was just COVERED with rat fur. Ick.

The way back home was difficult. No power steering, no alternator, no coolant pump, who knows what else stopped running. Thank goodness we only lived 5km away.

hire the mafia

:lol

oh my god, my workplace has the worst mice/rat problem ever!! everyday ill see one running around, weather its in the lunch room or inside the warehouse.. ive killed 2 of them.

if u can find rat poison which i find is kind of hard nowadays mix it on a piece of bread with peanutbutter as well...the smell of the peanutbutter will attract the rats/mice as well as the taste and they will eat it and die...then its just the simple matter of disposing of them...like the other guy mentioned...bascally if u hafe any pets or small children do not put out poison because will eat it.

another idea is putting out beer in takeout containers....(like the tin asian ones) mice and rats like the taste of beer like most ppl but unlike most ppl the dont have the ability to be able to regurgitate. if they drink the beer they will basically need to puke it but since they are unable to they will suffocate and die.

hope this helps u out

I used one of those and a rat got stuck on it at 3am,so I threw it out into the shed ,but all that was left on the glue trap in the morning was fur.If you are going to use a glue trap check them regularly ,so you don't have sticky rodents running around.

do those sonic rodent deterrents work? some sort of high frequency generator that only they can hear? saw something like this at the hardware store but wasn't sure if it was worth getting :confused:

LOLOL :haha::haha:

ya OP u shud get a cat
or even just borrow someones for a few days, the rats just need to smell the presence of a cat n they'll be gone

get another one and have gladiator mice fights

I had a sudden mice explosion years ago. I think it was just 1 or 2 families that suddenly bred and made its home in my house.
in the span of 1 week we caught 14 mice from babies to adult.
good old fashioned victor snap traps with peanut butter.
90% of the time they were killed, half of that time they were eaten by their own kind by the morning, and 10% they lived and we just flushed em.
Poisons aren't cool cause A) u can poison the wildlife outside the home if they get out, B) takes time to take effect.

I placed a glue trap in the garage before. caught a mouse. dunno if it's any good on a rat though.

I fully believe in the old fashioned snap kind. Who cares if they die. They have some nasty ones called T-rex I believe now, looks like 2 crazy killer jaws with teeth that snap shut. looks like it can plain decap the mouse/rat. I'd try those.

Snap traps come in small and large, lay some out, if you catch a bunch and then no more, then problem solved. if you keep catching them more than a week or 2 then I'd say you got a problem.

Also you should know if you have an infestation. droppings would be everywhere.

i'm with the guy who suggested you get a mouse trap. I think the reason those exist is so that you have a cheap way of killing rats without having to clean rat guts up from everywhere.

Spugen, did you kill a rat or a mouse? AFAIK there's a bit of a difference. G/F had a problem with mice. Can't help with rats.

two things about mice:

- glue traps are rather inhumane. If you do use the glue traps, you should check them regularly. If you catch a mouse with this sort of trap, you should immediately put the thing out of its misery rather than letting it squeal and starve to death. I had to stomp on one of the little dudes :(

- mechanical traps "should" kill instantly by snapping the mouse's neck, but may leave a bit of a mess, esp if you don't clean it up right away.

- I understand that rats are truly nasty muthafuckas. Good luck if you have them.

i wouldnt suggest using poison...because like everyone said, 1) it might get animals and children, and 2) if the rat/mouse dies underneath the fridge or somewhere hard to find, then u got a dead body stuck there and stinking u for a while.

to me, glue traps and those snaps work the best...good luck!

Off topic but did neone see this video?

So my Tenant went on vacation like a month ago.

I walked past his door yesterday and found the door wide open.
No signs of break-in. Looks like he didn't even lock his door and the wind blew it open.

I'm assuming that this is where the mice/rats are comming from since I never had this kinda problem before. My house is messy, not dirty. I also killed another one yesterday before I went out. Whole lotta screaming and whacking. Fucker wouldn't die.

Set up a bunch of poison in the garage.
Traps and poison inside the house. I don't care how they die, as long as they die. No pets of children in the house, so I don't care. If this doesn't solve the problem, I'm calling an exterminator since I just saw the third one earlier. It got away and it ran away to the fireplace which is where the other 2 were. I'm assuming it's comming from my tenants room downstairs, going next door to the other tenant and going through their fireplace which is connected to ours.

post pics of the fatality!

sticky traps for the win...my buddies house had the longest mice problem before but he managed to kill everyone off with these..we found that they like to to hang out under the fireplace so we sorrounded it and caught at least 2 a day

we've caught so much that 1 day we decided to have a bit of fun..we used like 3 layers of gloves and took 1 of em apart from the sticky trap, placed the sucker in a jar and made made some holes on the cap..watched it run around/jump trying to get out then poured a shot of 151 on the holes..little dude drank a good portion of it and we watched it get drunk and it kept running around and crashing into the glass, slowed down after 2 more minutes, started closing its eyes and took really deep breaths until it passed out...we thought it would wake up after a while but it never did lol

^-HAHAHA OMG U ARE EVIL!

my bro and i did something like that once.. with a giant motherfucking spider. caught the thing in a ziplock container poked a few holes on the lid and drowned it with water. those nasty things actually knows how to swim!

are u sure that rat wasn't on the menu? fresh live seafood.... fresh live rat, etc.

hahaha i heard "fooking" so many times

I like this guys solution to his rat problem. (edit: turns out its a chick)

buy Weihrauch w/ Scope + Sony cam + duct tape = fun

Awesome snipe!
lol

If you use the sticky traps, make sure you still kill them. As someone mentioned, they can eventually break free of them. I usually wrap them (and the trap) up in a newspaper, put it in a plastic bag and give it a good few hits with the spade.

multi kill!!!!
