there's something in my loft.........

[Randy Bareback]

for about a week we have heard noises and scratching coming from up in the loft. we had a look about the other day but couldnt see anything so we thought that we would put a mouse trap up there just in case.

3 days ago we baited the trap and set it and then that night..........BANG. i thought gotcha ya little bastard. i went up and checked the trap and it had indeed gone off but no mouse and no fucking cheese. it had took the cheese and escaped the trap somehow.

so i reset the trap with complimentary cheese and last night..........BANG. again i go up there and the trap again had gone off and again the twat had taken the cheese. what fuckin sort of mouse is this?

again, i reset the trap with cheese and then 20 minutes ago.......BANG but i also heard immediately after the bang like a struggle or maybe the thing running off. i run up the stairs and the little shit has done me over again. trap set off and the cheese gone. whats going on? mice these days are either extremely clever, big or this thing isnt a mouse.

any ideas?

Try peanut butter, it's claggy and harder to get off, they love it.

Try bacon rind, works a treat.

Might be some illegal immigrants up there, you'll get more if you keep feeding them

[grrwoofwoofgrowl]

Forget the trap, get some of the pellets from DIY store.

You put them down, mice attracted to them, mice eat them, mice dead.

Don't mess about with traps. Get poison down.

thing is though im having no trouble attracting the twat but actually nailing it. my sister is worried now cos she says ...... ITS AS RAT !!!!!!!!!!!

[max wartbug]

Paint yourself yellow and sit on the trap, you'll see what the culprit is then. Mind your fingers though!

Or get one of them plug in pest deterrents, they work a treat.
