Build a better mousetrap!

[anathema]

Heh heh heh...I did it! I've been trying to catch the little devils for four years now, and they have proven stubbornly resistant to every form of trap and bait, even to the point of muscling up to the trap and removing the bait. Until now! I left a half-full bucket of water in the kitchen (following a fridge-defrosting session), and lo and behold, when I got home this evening, there was a dead mouse floating in it. The mouse has been disposed of and the bucket replaced...

Now, where do I go to get this patented...?

Yeah those pesky mice - my (ex) Hamster once managed to escape and hide behind the Kichen units. He never used to enjoy my company that much until i introduced him to WWF Wrestling and Heavy Rock music. Anyway he tried to move in with the mice but they kicked him out and so he came skulking back to me.

Killing them is kinda cruel though - isn't there a more humane way of asking them to leave ?

I tried asking nicely, but the little sods kept coming back. Subtle hints evidently don't work Anyway, this wasn't planned, not that I'm complaining!

Aye, so I've been told. I, on the other hand, can't stand the stuff, so I don't have any I'm wondering whether nailing the corpses onto the skirting boards might be effective...pour encourager les autres...?

Or you could build little shields and just mount their heads (stuffed of course!) and have a trophy room!!

Funny you should say that...I do collect skulls...! There's a fine pair of antlers mounted above the fireplace, a set of rams horns knocking about somewhere, and various others my mum found for me. That said, she freaked when I brought...no, I won't say what I brought home...

No - go on, tell me what you bought home.

I have to know now!!!
