You're looking at this problem the wrong way. Our friends at PETA
would have you capture and rehabilitate these rodents. Perhaps
a hug is in order, or maybe you could take them out for dinner at
your favourite restaurant. Show them the love they yearn for. Ask
them politely to relocate to some other residence (perhaps a Mustang)
Remember: These animals have rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
God help you if they happen to be on the Endangered Species List, in
the end, they might sue and end up owing your Corvette as their permanent
home... :crazy:

 

I say go with the cat idea. The only rats/mice I ever see are the occasional dead ones on the front porch that my tomcat has put on display of his successful hunt. :yesnod:

 

:eek: Yep, kitty cats are the answer. Just make sure they have clean feet before walking on Vette. :D :jester :p:

 

OK - you should here about my 87 Bronco II (sorry, it's not a Vette). Massive...and I mean MASSIVE, horrible infestation of spiders AND ants at the same time!! Working on the interior a month ago I lift the back seat up and there must have been about 10,000 (or more?) spiders running for there lives. (And I have spider phobia... nice.) OK - take car of that with raid while hairs standing on end. Then I'm at the rear and I have rain leaks at the back window so the carpet gets a little wrecked. I unscrew the carpet base, lift up the carpet and there are millions of ants running for THEIR lives! This is like an hour after the spider scene.

Right before all this had happenned I had removed the back light cover to find a big spider with about 6 egg sacks. It was like that scene in aliens when she turns the corner and sees the mother alien. I pondered selling that truck that day for a couple hours (cause I was so stressed) which really pissed me off cause I love that junky truck. But I'm pretty convinced it is now thoroughly clean and well again. This is my story.

I just loved the sound of mousetraps going off! :lol: It is truly worth all the times I get my fingers snapped to hear the sound of the trap going off , and to find there is one less mouse in the world. By the way, I have found that peanut butter is the BEST bait!!

I hates meeces to pieces!

OK for you mouse… I’m bringing out my “ATTACK FLAMINGO”

Horrible story! One word: arachnaphobia! eek!

 

Documented Mouse kills:
3 so far this year
18 last year! :eek:

The only thing I've used are traps - DCon scares the heck out of me when you think of a mouse taking a powder somewhere in the car!

 

:smash: Kill Update: 8 (yes, I'm using peanut butter)

Only two more to go and I'll be an "Ace". I can then paint mouse faces with X's for eyes on my doors!

 

That's it... If it's that good I'm changing to PEANUT BUTTER!
Heck! I might even put some on the traps.
I wonder if I should put it on toast and have a little glass of
milk there with it?

 

Dayam..Quick little buggers.!!!

 

Another vote for peanut butter in the trap...3 kills so far and counting. We'll probably have 12-20 by Christmas.

I always know when there's a mouse in the trap because the word M O U S E ! ! ! ! is written on the white board on the 'fridge....in 2 ft high letters. I asked her how she was able to stand on one of the kitchen chairs and still reach the 'fridge... :confused: :D

 

True story. Brand new 2001 F@*d Windstar (company, not mine). Picked it up in March, had it just 4 months when the terrorist mice attacked. I trapped 6 in 2 days, drowned each one :D and then they vanished. Went to F*%d and GoodYear, neither could find how they got in! Two weeks ago they returned, crapped all over the seats, dash, carpets, I even found a few turds in my travel coffee mug :U . I trapped 2 this time with those sticky coated cardboard things, they work great, once they touch it they are stuck forever :D. I took the van in and had the inside vacumned and cleaned and then I got it undercoated with the most sticky, gooey, compound I could find. NO more mice inside, (they are probably all stuck to the underside now :D). I wonder what the guy behind will do if one of them come unstuck and splat on his windshield :eek:

 

about a year or so ago, i repainted the underside of my '85s hood. when i unscrewed one of the two hood light assembles, i found an old nest (assuming it was a mouse). anyway, the only way i figured that little booger got in there was through the two holes on the underside of the hood for mounting/attaching the hood emblem. when i first bought my '85, i had a mess of droppings, shells from some sort of grain, etc. on the intake manifold under the plenum. haven't had any problem since i cleaned out the mess -

 

This is guaranteed to get rid of anything anywhere!!!! Look at the options available!

:cool:

 

OK, you guys freaked me, I just set six traps with the finest peanut butter money can buy (JIF).

I once caught two mice in one trap, one died right away, the other one ate his buddy before dying, that was the grossest thing I have every seen in a mouse trap.

I once caught four mice on the same bait, peanut butter (set the trap 4x).

I put cat food outside my garage door. That way the other cats come by and kill mice in my yard. No paw prints on the hood, no vet bills, no mice either!

 

Someone went and invented a 'better mouse trap'! Sizzzzzle...... :lol:
