Yes, do clean with strong soap or preferably a teaspoon or two of bleach per gallon of water. Most the REALLY bad viruses (hantaviruses) are localized to a corner of New Mexico, but more worrisome are some of the bacteria that are found in most mamallian feces…YUK! Anyway, a good suggestion.

[(-D] Don’t worry I will clean up anyway; and I don’t live in New Mexico
And where is space mouse…
He’s in the tunnel. Haven’t you been reading the posts?
yea my mom dont really like having them things in her Corvette while its not used in the winter.
they seem to like it in there
victor snap traps work best
In the house however we have 2 cats [:-,] one is a small black one that wouldent catch a fly
however the other one named Cujo is a big orange cat that will catch and kill anything up to the size of a small squirrel he is inside in the winter and goes outside in the summer
Yes well I’ll be sure to pick up a snowplow; dad has razorblades in the garage
spatula with very long handle[:D]
With a broom handle.
I live in the Northeast, and the little buggers (mice, not geekos) try to come in every year in October / November (as soon as we get a good frost). I have a dog (a schipperke – very good at vermin elimination) AND a cat. While I do have the occasional issue with Catzilla storming through the layout, I have never seen a mouse inside the house, nor any evidence of their presence (droppings). It’s the deterrent factor: the predators make coming into the house too risky, so they don’t do it. The garage, however, is a different matter.
Good old Victor mouse traps, available everywhere at a cost of about $0.50 each, are a tried and true method. Bait them with peanut butter, as others have said, a very small dab on the trigger. Toasting it with a lighter or charcoal igniter works really well. Put the trigger end against an obstacle, so the mouse has to walk on it. Unless you see the mice, put the trap where the droppings are – that’s where the mice are going to eat. You can reuse these things several times. I use disposable latex gloves to dispose of the body (in the trash, otherwise the dog finds them, no matter how far into the woods I throw them).
However, they are not infallably fatal. I once found one (with a dead mouse in it) about 30 feet up the driveway. Since there was no evidence that the thing had been chewed on, I suspect the mouse dragged it there after being whacked. He was in the trap backwards, with his butt next to the bait.
And no, I have no sympathy for them, not even the one who managed to crawl 30 feet.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA Leave no Survivors[:-,] [}:)]
Kill 'em all, and let the mouse god sort them out. That’s my motto.
Stonewall Jackson ripoff …
I never said I was original. Why waste a good thought by consigning it to the dustbin of History?
DUSTBIN OF HISTORY??!!! How could you say such a thing???!!!
P.S. I think the Lhs has a snowplow
I once lived in a basement apartment and got invaded by the great killer mice! They pushed me too far when the raided my precious lucky charm cereal. Never disturb a man during breakfast. I poured a bowl and there was dark tapered “charms” floating in the milk. I was so [censored] that i went and bought the basic traps. I used cheese and the Iraqi ninja mice took the cheese with out a scratch. So I upgraded the bait to the golden chalice to all mice. Peanut Butter! I emptied the traps twice from the dead foul thieves and my lucky charms were never desecrated again.
I had a large wolf spider waiting at the station on my layout trying to get a ride to Memphis on the Southern Tennessean. He was removed by Shop-Vac security.
I never said any such thing! I only typed it. [:-^]
Touche
OK,OK back to business
If you have a steady hand, 357 Hollow Points work well for me.
Pet Boas and Pythons really like mice, rats, cats, small yappy dogs etc. Even when they get larger they have been known to eat man. (Don’t get any ideas if your going through a messy divorce).
Perfect,
I can get my neighbors annoying chihuahua, AND the guy dating my girlfriend. Little sister a possibility.
