Mousecapades, I'm Over It. -
Every fall, the field mice think they can take over my house. I'm pretty sure they are getting in via the flexible ductwork for my AC/Heat under the house. (I can not access it, too little space to get in there.)
I've been using Old School traps, (the best) and have about 11 Neurotoxin bait stations scattered throughout my 1st floor. (One in the Jeep, after discovering a nest in the glovebox.) It's maddening. I do not seem to be making any progress. I see scat outside each of the 11 bait stations and can see they are eating it. Each block, advertises it can kill 12 mice.
I'm over it.

Ken, don't think we are talking about same trap. There is a cup below trigger about size of dime for peanut butter and protrudes thru trigger, You don't throw it away just squeeze it and mouse drops out and set for next one. Trust me, I use them in my Va home that is infested at times, especially this time of year and they work every time. Beauty is they are easy to set and catches the young mice that are light because it has a hair trigger and they can't steal the bait. --------------------------------Ray

In addition to the mice that are dying via my 11 Neurotoxin traps scattered in key locations, my "Old School" traps have got 3 in roughly 24 hours. The worst one's, those that think they can get up on my Kitchen counters. Bye Felicia.
2 of the 3, were "young mice." (These are hair trigger traps.)

Ken, when i have time will try to find one on internet for you. Heck, don't even know if they still make them. Don't know if I will ever make it back to Va. again with my wife being so sick, My good friend and neighbor drained my pipes this year.
I have been known to polish up trigger on the old Victor traps and put a little Vaseline on them. Careful there, don't catch your finger. Desperate men do desperate things.-----Ray

We didn't even know we had a mouse problem in our first house until my wife opened a cupboard door and a mouse jumped out. I laughed so hard I could hardly breathe. When everything settled down and I had picked up the overturned furniture and broken glass we set traps in every nook and cranny. In a few minutes it sounded like corn popping!

Old School traps caught one per day for 3 days. (The worst of them.) Those that thought it was okay to get up on my Kitchen counters. Uhh......................No. 😠 (No trap caught Mice, in 3 days now.)
Between the Old School traps and my 11 Neurotoxin bait stations, (☠) I believe I am taking them to task. They are losing. 👍

Perhaps you could become a piper.

Reminds me of the guy who buys a green (or brass) rat & doesn't bother to get the story about it.

@4205raymond, pretty sure I found the traps you were talking about. Made by TomCat, the Snap Trap. Looks like a little set of open jaws with a hair trigger with the cup on top. (We got them in at work.) A 2 pack was about $6. Bought a set and just finished baiting them with a small smear of Mozzarella.
Aarrgghh.....................Aarrgghh...................take that ye bastiges. 😁
