Subjectively speaking. Or maybe not.

Please try and resist the urge to say humans, I’m sure it crossed everyone’s mind

    IDK if we have one or several dozen in our house but one of the little bastards was watching me watching it this morning. It’s infuriating.

    They’re legitimately scary because of how fast they move! But mice seem quite similar to humans in a lot of ways. They live communally in tribes, they sing, they tidy things up in their surroundings and they help each other perform childbirth. We freak out about the mountains of mouse droppings but i suppose it just shows they’re clean enough to have a designated shitting pile.

    What are you using as bait? Chocolate is best. If it’s a humane mouse trap they do tend to shit in it a lot so you have to hose it down outside before uaing again

      I’ve never really felt awkward about killing mice and other pests. I get that some people do, but it’s not important to me.

      For the bait I’ve been using pre-baited traps. I know this must sound pathetic but, the bait seems to work really well and it lasts for 6 or more mice so it’s not an outright waste.

      Dealing with previous infestations I’ve found that a range of strategies is best. Traps & poison, different brands. If you only do one thing they seem to wise up.

      If I have to go back for more traps I might try chocolate, thanks.
