You should make jewelry from the stones, after all they are rare and precious

I had a couple of plastic mousetraps fall apart too. Made In China. They didn't explode all over the place like that, but just kinda disintegrated as I was taking them out of the packaging! Can't find the damned receipt or they'd be going back. I got some different ones that seem to be much better, except that the mice have them figured out and clean up all the peanut butter without setting them off. I think the crap ones had Victor brand on them and the better ones are Tomcat brand (they were also cheaper!) Everything sucks anymore.

I finally gave up on traps, got some "Just One Bite" and that took care of the mice!!! (Tho you have to be real careful with that stuff around other animals, it'll kill anything.) I could smell dead mice behind the walls for a few days, til they dried up... better than mice getting into everything tho. They even ate my Xmas cactus.

Hereabouts, eight cats and gods know how many coyotes barely keep the mice down to a mere horde

Thanks Walter, the sad part is I made the Blintz my son's eating, he just took 'em all back to the dorm
I still remember my grandmother coming from L.A. with Lox and Bagels from the Farmers Market and taking all day to make Blintz where I'd promptly sit down and eat 10-15. YUM!!!!!

All y'all need is my wife! So far she's been better than any trap I've set. I don't know how she does/did it but all the mice that've had the misfortune of trying to reside in or close to our house were run over by my wife's Tahoe. I don't know, maybe they committed suicide by running under her tires but she's got em all!
Scary...

Wow, that's one scary wife Either that, or that Tahoe is possessed by the spirit of an angry cat.

I have been really surprised since I moved here to this cabin. With the horses, a couple of out buildings, baled hay stacked up and lots of grain I thought mice were going to be a problem. I've never saw one here. Not in the barn, not around the feed, etc... We do have some ferret's running around here and they're not a problem, but I wonder if they have effected the mice population?

When I lived in town I never had a mouse problem until they put in a subdivision right behind my house. It was a bull pasture. But when they started plowing up the turf I was over run with mice. I finally bought some pellets about an inch long, green in color, and I threw about 30 of them under my house crawl space. Within a week, no mouse problem.

Default Full belly = ~♥~

I had some of the best Mexican food from a restaurant in a long time today.
I also came home with a dozen tamales to heat up at home.

Joel's in Sandpoint.

Isn't Idaho kind of a long way to go for a Mexican dinner? I wish you were here Rickers, we've had some AMAZINGLY good Mexican food. You couldn't swing a dead cat around here without hitting some kind of hispanic eatery be it Mexican,Cuban or?
The food choices here are about the only "perk" for having to live in/near a big city.
