<div class="IPBDescription">And they refuse to die!</div> Well, I think the mice that have infected my house are smarter than me or somthing, because they keep managing to get the cheese off the traps without setting them off, and every time I try to pick up the trap, it goes off.

I need them dead, or our of my house... My mom don't beleive in poisen, and she's allergic to cats.

This is where you come in!

Help me build a super mouse trap!

Give me ideas and instructions to build a super mouse trap that I can make with things around the house.!

    Step 1)Kneel down
    Step 2)hold hammer above your head
    Step 3)stay very still
    Step 4)dead mouses

    But seriously, I would recomend that you say to heck with your mother and give those suckers a dose of arsenic or plutonium in their next cheese batch.

    Get either glue traps (no poison, they just get stuck and starve/suffocate), the 'humane' traps (tilt at an angle which closes the door behind them), or the 'no muss no fuss' that they climb inside, which releases the spring, spinning them around at 500rpm until their neck breaks.

    The little snap-traps are worthless.

    Alternately, get some of those pop rocks, fizzing candies, or if they're particularly stupid, alka-seltzer. It'll be nasty when you find them, with foam out of both ends... but they'll be dead.

    so it's more humane to have a rat starve to death rather than kill it with poison?

    No, I listed the 'humane' traps after the glue traps. The glue traps just work, assuming no pets or small children. Which can be funny, especially if there's already a starving mouse glued to it.

    Totally get a cat. People with pets have lower blood pressure.

    That, or adopt the mice as your pets. Then you get lower blood pressure and instead of pesky nuisances you have pets that feed themselves and don't bother you much.

    those snap traps worked for me... maybe i just had stupid mice.. no i KNOW i had stupid mice... one of them ate a hole in the top of the grease can i had under my sink and dove in.. next morning i found him swimming around covered in grease... my dad just took the can out of the house and let the mouse go.. prolly made a pretty tasty treat for any predators lerking around...

    you could also get some pet rats and train them to come when called... rats kill mice.. i guess just out of hatred or something, but they twist the mice and break their puny bodies..

    rats are so badass

    My cure- turn on your oven or toaster, and put lots of cheese inside it and then close the door and turn it on and watch them fry...... mmmmm

    Have you tried those new traps that have the spike that drives in to the mouse once they enter the "compartment"? Its a wound up spring inside when you open the cyclinder like compartment, mouse goes in and trips the device, spring unwinds closing the cyclinder and sending the spike down on the mouse.. pure genius

    ROFL

    The better mouse trap:

    <img src='http://www.geocities.com/peru_defensa_nacional/images/rpg7_images/rpg7diag.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

    If, however, you wish the wall in the general vicinity of these formentioned "Mice" to surivive, I suggest this:

    <img src='http://www.backcountryjournal.com/ruger1.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

    Perfect Varmint/Plinking rifle. Costs about 100 dollars, and .22 is cheap. Won't punch through your wall and hit your neighbor, either.

    I have one <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Best idea yet.

    Other than that just get the humane traps then release them at someones house that you don't like.

    Less cruel to the mice and you won't be cleaning up dead meeces every morning.

    I'm just wondering why a picture in Russian for a Russian RPG-7D is on a page for peru_defensa_nacional.



    I really just catch them myself, whenever the wedges of poison don't work. One was hanging out behind the TV in the kitchen once, so I just grabbed a bucket and a piece of cardboard and scooped him up.

    Named him Wilbur and put him in a box; he had very yellow teeth. Apparently rats don't get good dental...Back to the point, apparently Wilbur was in supreme shock from being scooped up and hovered over by something 1000x bigger than he is, so he...had a heart attack or stroke or something.

    Anyway, Wilbur died about an hour after I caught him. Of as natural causes as I can find: "being scared to death by giant bipedal creatures".

    Afaik, some breeds of cat (and dog, for that matter) cause allergies less than others. Unless your mum is <i>really</i> allergic. I'd go with the cat idea, but then I'm a cat person.

    Build the mice a small village in an abandoned corner of your house. Then wall them in and play god with a lighter and hair spray!

    My grandfather always used this mouse-trap:

    <img src='http://www.nordpost.se/Shop/artbilder/Stor/s7823.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

    The mechanism works in such way that the mouse can't reach in without getting an X amount of bones shattered and then die...

    Peanut butter on an old-style lever-arm snap trap has never failed me. Those humane traps are overly complex and ineffective.
