Tylenol-loaded mice dropped from air to control snakes

Dead mice packed with acetaminophen, strapped to pieces of cardboard and ...

Then the brown snakes will carefully unstrap the dead mice and proceed to eat them.

Yep...the U.S. Government is definitely involved

[Outlaw Woman]

They are already dead. Who comes up with this stuff...oh nevermind, it was our ingenious government (Tax Dollars at work).

The end result will be snake with really clear sinuses. Thanks billorites.

Only if all the snakes go to one end.

Yep, and then, according to at least one democrat, if the people go to the other end the Island will flip over and drown all the snakes/Kidding(just in case someone didn't realize I was joking around).

I take it these snakes are pretty deadly?

[nmh]

Could we give some to Michele?

Doesn't she have headaches?

Besides there are more rodents than ever at the WH. This might keep those pesky rodents population down. Also has Obama been bathing lately? I don't see so many flies on his face. Third world countries are not noted for personal hygiene. Obama has a third world mentality as well as third world hygiene.

They won’t eat dead rodents. They won’t recognize them as food.

wELL, THAT VISUAL MADE ME LAUGH.

If the snakes only eat live mice, they could outfit each mouse with a little parachute, that would look cute.

lol

[Ditter]

I wonder what a snake trap looks like?

[JRios1968]

Since scientists discovered that the household pain reliever was deadly to the brown tree snakes, they’ve been trying to figure out how to get it to where many of the serpents live in the canopies of the island’s forests...

Why not simply play 0bambi's speeches to the snakes on loudspeakers, then place the Tylenol where they can reach it?

Eliminate the middle-mouse, I always say.

[TheOldLady]

The end result will be a complete disaster.

[RoadGumby]

Just catch it :^)

[Judith Anne]

Pet stores sell “pinks” which are frozen baby mice, as snake food. Why would I know this? Grandchildren.

[goat granny]

There are a few things we can learn from the younger generation....:O) yukky things of course....:O)

[Fire_on_High]

That in a nutshell is why I haven’t owned any snakes.

After finding an Eastern Kingsnake in the backyard I was considering trying to tame the next wild juvenile we ran into, as more than one of my snake owning friends got their starts that way (one at the tender age of three!), but having kept rodents as pets, I just couldn’t do it.

[OCCASparky]

Well, that visual made me laugh.

Not so funny when you come back from a jog with cuts and abrasions from pecking, clawing birds.

My 2nd kid whacked a flying squirrel with a tennis racket, once.

It landed on my face.

Needless to say, we had words...

I already have a beard. I don’t need to blow a squirell.
