On hunting mice...

(4 comments)

I got the bastard. It wisely avoided my traps, it ignored the toxic baits. But it let its caution drop. Rummaging through the Yellow Bag filled with recyclable packaging while I'm at home was just careless. So I closed the bag, brought it to the balcony, closed the door behind me, opened the bag and... off it went. I never saw a house mouse run that fast.

I'll keep the traps and the baits for a while, in case he was a pregnant she. But hopefully this put an end to that.

Reminds me of that mouse we once had in the Filmstudio office. Avoided the traps, avoided the poisoned bait, for weeks and weeks -- and then went to sleep under the wheels of our swivel chair ... sprlotsch.

Heh, and the mouse I once caught in the computer science library I did so in a dustbin as well ... covered it with a shirt, and gotcha. Funnily just a week after I caught a pidgeon with the same shirt in the Aula lecture hall, and two weeks after I shood away a bat from the Fo1 lecture hall ...

Du hast Mäuse oder Ratten?

Sie sollten Difenacoum verwenden.

Es tötet alle Nagetiere sehr schnell!

It was a really lucky mouse.
If it is like the last terry pratchet's book that I've read, it will probably come back to seek revenge and use your food as toilets ;p
