Random Rants
-
So yesterday the mouse/rat managed to trip 2 small snap traps without getting caught and then ate the bait off of them (I know, pretty gangsta move) - so we bought 4 big ass Rat Snap traps. Over night it ate the peanut butter off two of them…this time without even setting them off (even more gangsta).
In an effort to weed out the idea that it came though my air filter (pretty common place for mice to hang out), we opened them up
And they looked good as new (well, 20 years old, lol).We have now bought industrial sized sticky traps and surrounded the hole that we think it’s going in in the backseat.
I am convinced this is the smartest mouse in the entire world.
I did order some new traps that the exterminator (yes, I did call a professional) told me to buy, so they should be here tomorrow. If this isn’t taken care of by this weekend, I’m probably going to straight up lose it.
On a positive note, I’ve been using uber and bumming rides from my employees for the last 2 days and I feel very metropolitan haha [emoji23]

Have you tried the 5 gallon bucket trap less than half full of water, my lady and I were in our office just hanging out and we heard little mouse crying under the floor, mind you we hired a few months ago an exterminator that put this traps outside the house, my lady calls the exterminator to fire him as I'm looking on line the best way to get rid of them, I put poison, small bait traps and them i made a bucket trap, next day I had two in the glue trap, two on the bait traps and 15 in the bucket , goddamn invasion… now is been months without mice , bucket trap the winer, is something liked this;(if you are sensitive do not watch)

20 bucks says @Appfaff goes to check the bucket the next morning and all the water is gone and there's a pile of mouse turds at the bottom.

That’s very likely, sadly.

Today, I ask all of you to raise a glass to the most vigilant creature that ever existed.
He was quiet, he was cunning. He was creepy, and he was destructive.
He lived a very comfortable past 6 days, enjoying the early 2000s luxury, leather, and probably the dashboard wiring (I’ll see this weekend when I dismantle it) of my beloved Toyota Land Cruiser.
He will always be remembered for pretty much making me go insane, and we will be fixing his mess for many days and weeks to come.
RIP “Master Splinter,” may you join the other ninjas in mouse heaven.

Was it a mouse? It could have been a hobo for all we know. You could have killed a drifter with that trap.

It was a rat, but what was weird was that it was a white haired rat, like the kind they sell at the pet store - not the grey haired rats you find in our area.

More legs to the @FormulaPfaff theory…..

so it was a genetically engineered super rat.
Don't sleep on those store rats… a buddy of mine had a python that he would feed white rats to. so he drops a rat in one morning and goes to work. comes home later to a dead snake and a live rat.
RIP white rat.

Is it weird that I wanted this saga to continue? I'm a little sad inside that the rat has died.
