Mice

jack404 · 08-04-2012, 02:41 AM

i think because i have birds its worse but i been getting 4-5 mice a night in the 6 traps i have around the feed bins and aviary

and this afternoon sometime ( cause i reset the traps this morning ) i got one with two young mice in it one looking too close while the other took the peanut butter ( chunky)

two for!!

no power up at the fowl house or aviary yet but as soon as the ground dries out i'll run a trench and pipe a line over there and install a electropulse unit

We get em too. Mice, and field rats. No traps though, put out some decon, and what the decon don't get I take with the .22 pistol.

one of the local farmers uses runing lawn mowers all around his hay bails when he lifts them up tp move them. he gets a good 60-70 every time he does it. the run right under the mowers.

I wonder if the mower trick would work with rattlesnakes too?

It slices, it dices!!

i'm trying to grow grass especially with spring and summer coming , lotsa baby moo moo's a comin, next few days i'm hoping for the first ( or as near as i can guess) a week or so for the next couple .. so yeah i'm in a bad spot and with grain around and 'tiels and geese aint clean eaters .. until i can run power up there and then put in a gadget its traps and more traps

then i'll put the lean-too roof up and once my lucerne is in i'll stack it there

i had 40-50 rats attack my pet birds (cockatiels) got hold of ones wing through the cage bars and we lost him

its been bad but not that bad

jack404 · 08-06-2012, 12:37 AM

Hey i was just thinking about that clip ( video Carne Frio posted)

the idiot greens went and adopted all these kittens from outta the newpapers and such ( 100's!! ) and let em all go wild in the bush as a pest management plan ,

we shooters been culling cats ever since , they did the same in the 70's too but only with 20-30 cats

bloody idiots .. the mice are feral ( introduced ) now they set cats on our nature ..

makes sense eh ? only if your a loon ..

skullfr · 08-06-2012, 12:25 PM

we have that kind of problem here with nutria rats.They escaped in the early 1900s and are a huge problem here.They eat the grass in the marshes.There is a 5 buck bounty on em.I once got a membership to a private fishing area for cleaning them out with a bow.I never had more fun working.I ended up killing over a hundred in one day.They were used to humans and just made it easier.They are good eating too.I ended up selling them for 3 bucks a pop from my truck in the black are.

jack404 · 08-06-2012, 05:29 PM

aint fallin for that one , shot one near Klamath falls and cooked it up after being told its ok to eat

Dog tastes better than Nutria ..

Thorisin · 08-06-2012, 05:47 PM

I am not squemish but I sure didnt like that video. I have few fears (spiders are the worst for me) but I am not sure I would have liked that mouse situation much. I would have been buying as much poision as I could get my hands on.
