    Are you sure he was a he? If not, you might still get that stink wafting your way! (although if she was still fat you may have got there in time)

    His name was Mr. Mouse... :) I could say something about intelligence and gender, but I fear I would be treading on thin ice...! But yes, hopefully my assumption was correct... don't make me feel any worse by bringing up cute baby mice!

      But it's easy to mis-hear when they speak, what with those tiny mouths, whiskers and so on.

        Mr. Mouse had set up an abode in my garage. I tried to catch him with live traps, but to no avail. (It turned out he was too fat to fit in them...!) I then tried a traditional mousetrap, baited with fine Cheshire cheese. Within 15 minutes, the cheese was gone, but the trap was not sprung. Aha, a clever one! Later in the evening, after I had noticed the insulation chewed off four wires under the hood of my car, and after he had appeared in front of me, mocking me, and didn't run away, I made the painful decision to deploy a bait station. I came home for lunch the next day and there he was, lying in the driveway, his once beady eyes cloudy and gray. In his last moments he did the honorable thing and died where he was easily found, where he wouldn't stink up the garage while I searched for his body. I scooped him up and laid him to rest, double bagged, in the trash can. He was a good mouse. I honestly feel bad about using such extreme measures, and will purchase a larger live trap in case I should run into some of his portly friends. Rest in peace Mr. Mouse. :rose:

        he cant have been that good, you got him. If i were a mouse i'd have evaded you for ages, taunting you with carefully placed "presents" and I'd certainly not fallen for the old poison bait trick. Bryce

          By "good mouse", he meant "tasty mouse".

                We had a discussion about this awhile back - another suggestion was the "walk the plank" / peanut butter / plastic basket trap [^] or [^] :thumbsup:

                    Looks good! Although the antifreeze seems a bit of a cruel twist...

                      A while back, I posted about my mouse/rat problems. I ended up harassing them so much that they moved to a neighbor's yard.
