We've got mice in our Uni flat, and rather than do the sensible thing and report it to the caretakers we're trying to kill them ourselves. Wednesday is our Asda day so we'll get some poison bait then, and maybe trek to some kind of shop that does horribly brutal traps.
Anyone got any tips for catching them? We know where they're coming from and where they're going, but until Wednesday we wanna have some fun trying to catch them.
Any hints would be very much appreciated!
We were all just watching Bedazzled (starring Liz Hurley and Brendan Frasier) in the dark, all of a sudden we all simoultaneously saw this dark shadow fall from a hole in the wall where a radiator pipe comes from. Needless to say, we squealed like little girls and jumped ten feet in the air... One even ran past my foot; I could have stomped that little bastard with my size 12 Doc Marten if I wasn't paralysed with fear.
Ah well, missed opportunities and all that!

Had a problem with mice for a few weeks before Christmas.
I only caught two mice with traps. Poison is the best bet, but some mice are imune to certain poisons - so buy two different poisons and show no mercy to the little fuckers.

My mate reckoned we get some of those humane traps and when we get them, stick them in a plastic bag and bung them in the freezer or microwave alive.
I thought that was a bit harsh and slightly sick to be honest, so I'll stick with poison.

Never microwaved a mouse but I get the feeling they might explode and make a mess.

Ever seen the film Mousehunt with Lee Evans? take some tips off them ;D Funnily enough we were considering buying it to see what not to do. Another mate had the bright idea of spraying a shitload of deodorant into the hole and we literally had to rugby tackle him at the last second as he raised his lighter to it; dickhead didn't realise the wall's stuffed with fibreglass insulation. So he resorted to boiling a kettle and pouring steaming water down the hole. Didn't work, just made the front room stink.

Fraiser I can beat that! I caught five in one night, no more after that either. I melted some chocolate, put a small drop onto the traps and hey presto, dead mice, one was a right fat bastard too.

Poison doesn't always work. We had some in our kitchen a few years ago. The poison had disappeared from where we'd put it but the mice and the turds were still there. How was this? The little scamps had only been storing the poison 'sticks' under the fridge. In the end we resorted to force-feeding them and bought a few traps, in which we found a few mangled mice.
Traps all the way, guaranteed to work.

There's only one problem with humane traps Boother, they're too humane to kill the mice Cats or warfarin are the best but in the meantime have you thought of getting some peashooters to test your reflexes, and the mice's?

Get a pair of pliers and a blow torch and go to town on their motherfucking (little) arses. We gonna get medieval on this muthafucker! I really wanna borrow my next-door neighbour's cat from back in Stoke but I don't want it to run away and find it flattened on Oxford road. Sal, I do have an air rifle but the speed at that little bugger ran last night it'd be across the room and gone before my brain could even register it was there! Traps seem the only way... The only reason we wanted the humane ones was so that we could "look at the lickle mousey" before childishly setting it free in someone else's flat or a lecture theatre. ;D
