    Over never had peanut butter fail - it’s usually successful in under 10 minutes.

    Also I’m smarter than a fucking mouse; I can read, for one thing. Unlike whoever buys into this kind of propaganda.

    Step 1. Mice should rise up against their human oppressors

    Step 2. Obtain free Cheeze

    Step 3. ???

    Step 4. “All mouse equal, Some mouse more equal than others.”

      I see you moved past communism and straight into Leninism,

      That means step three is “lose an election”.

    Mice die in mouse traps because I buy the ‘humane’ ones then forget to check them for weeks, leading to much greater cruelty than normal ones.

      I had an issue with mice a couple of years ago, and it came to blows. I am not proud to say that I committed some horrific atrocities to mouse-kind that will haunt me for the rest of my days.

      That said, legends of my brutality must have spread because I haven’t had a mouse issue in years.

        We had an issue with mice coming inside at our old house. But we had 7 cats, so the problem was I would come into the kitchen in the morning to find blood streaks on the floor where the cats had their fun with the latest intruder. Then I had to dispose of the body. So I never had to partake in the cruelty myself, but I had to deal with its aftermath.

        The mice never seemed to figure out that ours was a house of death. But we had a really cool exterminator that wouldn’t try to up-sell us on stuff. He always gave us good advice on dealing with various pests. He helped us find the places where the mice were getting in the house and seal them. That’s the best solution if you can do it.

    Mix some oats into the peanut butter and roll into a marble sized ball. Much easier to handle and mold onto the traps trigger assembly.

    Mice die in mousetraps because they need the cheese to live, and have no control over the means in which the metal bar clamps down

          as someone who had rattos, they are wicked smart. THey can be litter trained, and can be taught tricks. I saw a video or article or some such that ratties like driving around in little motorised cars. It was cute as fuck.

            Rats seem super cool to have as pets, but honestly, I couldn’t take having a pet with a lifespan of ~2 years. It’d break me.

              Yup. I loved my boys with all my heart (still do tbh), but the 2-4 year life span (4 if you’re SUPER lucky) is just too short :( I won’t get anymore rattos because fo that.

        From my experience, it’s more like they let one die and the rest feast off of the dead one. We had a well house that was infested with mice. I’d set several traps up a night, come back the next day, all tripped and just bones left in the trap. Pretty mind blowing.

    Meanwhile, people voting for Trump because they think they’re going to get $500 of cheddar during tax season.

      Look I had this dream about Jesus not coming back until we ate the giant wheel of cheese that they rolled in front of his tomb now we just gotta find the right cheese
