We caught one a couple of weeks ago - in 2 nights, it massacred 6 chickens. We used a Havahart live trap & baited with a raw chicken wing - the culprit was in the trap the next morning. We did ‘catch’ but there was no ‘release’.
We are a ‘country’ house & when the weather turns chilly, the country mice come to visit. We have had a mouse in the house for a couple of days .... it ended up in my bedroom where I could hear it gnawing on something at night. If you are saying ‘eeeewwww gross’, yeah that would be the clean version (expletives deleted) of what I’ve been saying.
Anyway, I’ve had a ‘snap’ trap out with no success, but as they say ‘location is everything’ & I got the right location last night. The trap going off woke me up with a start. Was it a hit or a miss? Ms. Mouse (it was a female) was caught - a very fat mouse so I think it was preggers, too .... wouldn’t that have been ‘fun’ (not!).
At least it wasn’t a snake like the bro had in his bedroom a week ago.
