Squish it?

I have been trapping a few mice on the farm (in the house) lest the numbers get out of hand.

Then I caught this little fellow by hand. Just a bub.

Didn't have the heart to follow through.

Plus my wife got hold of it :lol:

But if I let it go, it breeds.

Squish it, or not?

Hi Matt,
Get rid of the thing.
Get a cat, a real mean son of a butch - no namby pamby house cat.
Plenty of ratsak.
Problem gone.

I don't like rat poison Trier, it's not a good death. Although I'd use it if mice started getting into everything.

One of those new plastic mouse trap brands are a bit dodgy, sometimes they just chop the nose off.

Kill it quickly, but cook it slowly, unless it's squid or fish :D

Are you sure it’s just a common mouse or one of those very rare ones that are on the almost extinct list? :lol:

As you say, Ratsak etc. are horrible ways to die. They bleed out from the inside. But it works

Don’t just chuck it in the bush because it will starve.

nah, get the little iddy biddy thing and CRUSH it under your heel. Job done. actually, while youre at it, get a cat and crush it as well
