Buy a pellet rifle ... not an Airsoft, not a Daisy, but one from PyramydAir — www.pyramydair.com/a/Air_guns/Air_rifles/Spring_piston/Pellet_rifles/375 — and use that. We’re out in the country on an acre and a half, but because of the way the porch and patio is laid out, the only angle that I can use to fire on raccoons and opossums is in the direction of the only house that is nearby. The pellet rifle that I purchased is just the ticket; the lattice and creepers on the patio and the trees surrounding my acreage will bat down any pellets that miss, and the ones that don’t miss kill with one shot.

I've actually heard that most mice are lactose intolerant and will avoid cheese if given the choice between it and most everything else.

Hints from Helouis, (SP?), years ago, said peanut butter, and my experience says it works.

One harsh winter out here in the sticks; I set a Hav-a-Hart mouse trap in the pantry. I sat down close by. The trap sprang. - I quickly went and got the “trap”. A little mouse with HUGE eyes was caught, trembling like a little leaf. I took her outside to the woodpile and released her. - I put out a variety of food for storage & wool & cotton for her to fix herself a nest in the woodpile. - Did that every day for a while. Every day, my offerings were taken & put in storage I presume. - I named her Mrs. Tittlemouse. Haven’t had any more mice in the house. - Taught her a lesson!

The mice stole the cheese. When the cheese was tied on with thread, they nibbled the cheese off until it fell free from the thread binding it onto the trap. Moved on to using peanut butter, but they simply licked it off of the trap without springing it. Frustrated, I put cheese bits and chunky peanut butter into a scrap piece of nylon hosiery, tied it closed with thread, and tied the bag onto the trap. Twenty minutes later...SNAP! Reset the trap...and SNAP again. Reset the trap....

I'm reminded of this Ronald Reagan Story:
From the memoirs of Reagan's wife, Nancy, the exchange took place in 1967, shortly after Reagan had been elected governor of California and had to deal with increasingly disruptive anti-war protests and student unrest on the campuses of state universities. As Dinesh D'Souza explained the context in his 1999 Reagan biography:
The president of the University of California system, Clark Kerr, symbolized the problem. By refusing to discipline student activists who were taking over buildings and obstructing classes, Kerr, in Reagan's view, had only encouraged further disruptions. The regents of the university system were displeased with Kerr, but he was lionized by the media, and they were afraid to take him on. As governor, Reagan was an ex officio member of the board of regents and at his first meeting on January 20, 1967, told them that if they wanted to fire Kerr, they had his full support; he would handle the political fallout. Kerr was ejected, to his own evident disbelief.

Then Reagan turned to the activists. Initially he tried to engage them in dialogue, but he soon found that they only wanted to trade barbs and insults. Reagan's quick-wittedness is apparent from records of some of those exchanges. At one campus meeting, a student told Reagan that it was impossible for people of Reagan's generation to understand young people. "You grew up in a different world," he said. "Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers."
Without missing a beat, Reagan replied, "You're right. It's true that we didn't have those things when we were young. We invented them."

Some breeds of chickens, like Buckeyes, are good mousers. And they fertilize the garden at the same time.

I can see that.

I’ve got an English Shepherd that does a number on them too.

And possums.

And rabbits.

And squirrels.

And chipmunks...

THE ONLY REASON THE HUMAN RACE HAS SURVIVED IS DUE TO MASS PROCREATION BECAUSE THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY STUPID PEOPLE OUT THERE. IT’S JUST SHEER NUMBERS.

The WWII Generation was the last great one.

If (God forbid), TS ever does HTF, the casualty rate will be horrendous.

Most likely. In a few generations everything will right itself. I just hope the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution will survive, with someone able to read them.

Lol, I imagine a lot of people had to push start a car for months. I was in FL in the 80’s when I had to do it. Finding a high spot in a parking lot was very hard!
