I live in a century-old abandoned factory, so there are lots of mice here. At first I felt really badly seeing their tiny little furry corpses in my traps. That is, until the day I went to get a slice of pita bread and found a tiny little hole gnawed in the bag, a miniscule dime-sized hole chewed into one slice... and mouse turds covering all the rest. After that it was: *I AM BECOME DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.*
Huge. There's a whole factory floor, loading dock, six workshops, and a warehouse, but it's all collapsing and full of black mold. I live in what used to be the air conditioning room with everything else tarped off.

I set a mouse trap once and it just disappeared the next day. I couldn't find it for the longest time until I moved the coffee table and underneath it was the trap with a just a leg in it. Months later, after catching various other mice, I caught a three legged mouse ;P.
That's so funny! But I'm a bit of a pro myself. Before mice problems I would have thought that you're messed up. Bit I know beter. I've had a mouse stuck to the glue trap just by the tail. I didn't let it get away
He mentions mice instead of rats. The unset tree trick is for rats, because they are neophobic. Rats won’t walk into a newly present trap. However, after being used to it, they’ll possibly walk over it.
Idk what mice he’s dealing with 🤦🏽♀️ maybe he’s out in the country and those mice aren’t book smart but these city mice must’ve went to an Ivy League school for avoiding mouse traps
I was thinking why the fuck are you blatantly by the hole by the toilet talking about ‘set traps here’ NO, you friggin idiot!! Plug the hole with steel wool and caulking so that they cant exit through the hole, period! Then you wont even have to set traps there in the first place.

Good tips, but I gotta say... mice don’t care if their little friends get snapped. They walk over them to get that peanut butter every time. Good video!👍🏼

When I had a dog, she ate dry dog food, but so did the mice! I'd be sitting here at the computer and Murphy's bowl was just around the corner about 8 feet from here. I kept hearing something move the food in her bowl and thought it was her eating, and I'd look into the next room and she'd be sound asleep! We found lots of her food under the couch cushions. One night I actually saw what was going on. They'd run around the wall at the baseboard from the living room into the kitchen where her food was, travelling at almost light speed, they'd jump into her bowl and spring right back out with a chunk of her food and run right back where they came from! It all took place in about 3 seconds! They would do this 5 or 6 times a night! So, I outsmarted the little bastards!! I left her bowl where it was, but put an unbaited trap in the bowl. I might've left a few kernels of her food in the bowl to act as bait. Lo & behold, the next time they jumped into her bowl for food, they had a surprise waiting for them!! They'd jump in, but would never jump out again!! The trap caught `em!! I nailed at least 3 of the bastards that way!! After that, Spring was here and they left.
Thank you! I'm pretty good at coming up with great ideas! A few years ago, mom was in her last few months of life after dealing with a stroke and LOTS of cancer. She'd be sitting in her lift chair but felt cold, so she'd ask me to put her sweater on her backwards because she was also too hot to wear it (OR a blanket) the right way. A short while later, she'd pull the sweater back down to her legs saying she was too hot for it, then she'd get cold and want it back on again. Her arms were cold, but not the rest of her so, she didn't want to be covered by it, but she needed it on her arms but, to do so, I had to cover her chest, too. So, I went up to the store and bought a pair of black leg warmers, brought them home and put one on each of her arms! That solved the problem! Now, her arms would be warm, but she wouldn't be too hot from the sweater or blanket! Even her nurse said that was a great idea!
@@RedVynil great idea, but check out If clothes in use are made of synthetic material as well as blankets: polyetser, fleece, acrylic, etc.. those will always make You too hot indoors..

This does not get rid of your mouse problem - they will keep on coming. It's like putting a bucket under a leaky roof. Water will flow into the bucket forever until you fixed the roof.
@Jan Shue What can I say, Jan? Some us have multiple degrees, a couple of doctorates, and being that one of them is English Literature and I am a member of the English Language Police (official name), I want to make sure that TELE knows, that when trying to correct a person for zero reason, that he does it right or not at all. As to you, don't worry dear, some day you could become as perfect as me. By the way, a sentence begins with a CAPITAL letter and ends with a period. I'm not going to mention the comma after bad, don't want to hurt your feelings, just because you are sticking your nose in something that is none of your business. Have a wonderful day. I'm so perfect, thanks for reminding me.
From the inside and the outside scan the perimeter to find where they are getting in. A dime sized whole is large enough for them to squeeze through. Look for food trails, hairs, and greasy sebum from them squeezing through tight spaces. They use the scent from their body secretions to know how to get in and out of you home or business. Look up, mice and rats can scale shear up the side of a flat surface. So don't just look around the perimeter at ground level. Fill the holes with fine steel wool then seal with a caulking/sealant. Go to the confectionery isle, store, or online and purchase 100% peppermint oil. Not extract, Not essence of, Not essential oil. Cover your eyes and nose when you open the bottle. Add a few drops to a multi purposes spray bottle filled with water. Check the mixture to make sure there is a strong peppermint smell. Don't over do it. The oil is very strong and very expensive. Only use what you need. If you're feeling foggy, make your own pepper spray using the hottest peppers you can find. Jalapenos are hot enough though. Place a few peppers and water in a blender. Blend with the cap on. Wear gloves and cover nose and eyes when opening/handling. Pour the blend through a fine strainer, hosiery, or cheese cloth. Add the liquid to your peppermint oil and water filled spray bottle. Do not use pepper spray if you have small children that play or crawl on the floor, or pets. Spray the mixture anywhere you see mouse activity. Spray along baseboards and in dark tight spaces. Spray along the perimeter of the outside. You will need to reapply every so often outside. You will be free of mice, rates, raccoons, Possom, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, dragons, and dinosaurs.
Great Video ! Came accross this looking for ideas to get rid of a mice thats been hunting me for the last 2 days! This video gave me the confidence to hopefully catch that sucker !
If one is hunting you it's just the scout. There's a battalion at the ready. You either declare war or wake up with them attempting to infiltrate your every orifice! 😀
I’ve never had a mouse problem, but I think I have one at my house because I hear little noises.. idk how it even got in!! I’m so scared, it’s 5 am rn and I can’t sleep...
instead of putting mouse traps everywhere fix your foundation, cement all holes. If you think they will eat through plaster, just crash glass mix it in with plaster and cover walls in basement..
This is the best video I have seen on how to locate mice entrances & trapping them ! It’s plain, simple and to the point !! Thanks Trapper man !! Body count 25 🙌🏻. They were coming in the window, where some rain had rotted a spot ! My Yorkie was alot of help too!! He was alert to their scratching and was just as helpful as a cat.!
I dunno how this video showed up on my timeline, but i needed it. I dont have a "mouse problem", but i have seen 2 lately around my house. Im gonna use these tips though and see what comes of it. Thanx for the info.
Dude I have seen a crap load of videos on catching mice but by far yours is the most lighthearted funny good and actually informative video yet... Great video!
How to get rid of mice. Set traps. Great advice. Never would have thought of it. If you caught that many mice in three weeks, you need to look for a solution. Not a temporary fix.
Last fall/winter my elder cat Graycie got 3 of those bastards! She passed in August 😿 I have 2 mastiffs and first heard them back trying to get to the dog food... they have droppings in my kitchen. That brought me here... ITS ON!!! 💪🏾🐀🚫
I woke up went on my phone and saw something run past my door so I put a light on my phone because I thought it was a spider so then I saw a mouse so then I put a loud hz noise and then it squeezed under my door and ran off. Also I got a bin in my room and I’ve been hearing russtling in it for the past week but I didn’t think much about it and my dad is on his way home idk what’s gonna happen to the mouse
I agree with you,think like a mice.I agree with a commentor,seal the entrances.No matter how clean & uncluttered homes,offices,etc. are if there are ways for mice to enter,they will keep coming.They likely won't stay long.Mopping with bleach,disinfectants,& ammonia,will lessen you seeing mice.Empty trash 1-2 times daily,place dirty dishes in refridgerator,if you are too lazy to wash them,keep foods in tighly sealed bins,tins,jars,etc.,sweep 1-3 times daily,don't eat in every room & no food trash in every room,air out homes,daily,spray a natural room deordorizer(non-food scented) & keep sinks,tubs,etc.dry.Keep up the good work.
Bro I’m 12 and I have six siblings and basically you know wen the is at least one child who is mature and the rest is so messy that they’ve actually attracted mice in the house well I am petrified of mice and every night when I’m on my laptop I hear scratching and it’s so scary but we can’t tell her mum because she’s more scared than me me and my dad have had to deal with mice in so many houses we’ve moved in I’ve had enough so I’m watching a bunch of these to get some tips your really helped us
I'm in a panic! I just found 4 shredded rolls of toilet paper under my bathroom sink!! HOrrors! I went to the store at 6am for that toilet paper after 2 months of None in the store. Hubby and I watched this together and I got very queasy about sharing our home unknowingly with rodents. Do we need an exterminator to investigate how they are getting into our house??? I found a pile of bird food under one roll!!! We have a bird feeder front and back. My daughter left the bird food lay in the kitchen for 2-3 days after her daily fills. Does the mice come into my kitchen and return to the bathroom sink nest? We keep the bathroom door closed so how does it get in and out to access the bird food? I am sick about this new discovery. I hope Hubby can deal with this issue as I know I cannot see the carnage you described. I am an animal lover😳😩☹️ but cannot share my home, especially during quarantine😥😭👊🏼
I live on a field and whenever I'm at home I hear noises. Once I heard like scratch scratch scratch. I got scared and I screamed. What could it possibly be??? Field mouse?
@@rickhunt3183 turns out it was a mouse that was in the house inside the walls we got it taken care of a few months ago and now I haven't heard anything else
That's a hell of a lot of mice. You might want to look around and find out where they are coming in at and plug the holes with some steel wool or aluminum foil. Doesn't sound like you're getting rid of them you're just keeping them at a constant number.
Two BEST tips: 1) locate and plug their entrance, often it can be a gap between wall and concrete foundation or pipe passages. 2) Set the trap @90% to the wall or cabinet base.(as mentioned)
Thank you you guys are funny I'm down here in sunny Florida just bought a fifth wheel and early this morning I heard something in my spare room well the big bag of dog food had a big hole on the bottom of it so now I start freaking out because I'm a clean freak and very organized and I want to know how he got in the trailer But watching your video educated me on getting the little bastard so I'm on my way to Walmart to get some traps and some peanut butter thank you so much for your help it was a great video 😎👍
2 liter bottle. Drill one inch hole in it 2 inches below the cap. Make a tube from paper, about post card thick and size. Put the tube in the hole. Put peanut butter on the inside edge of the tube. Five or six inches of water in the bottle. Stand the bottle up with the tube in an area the mice can reach. I have been able to catch half a dozen mice reloading the peanut butter a few times. Toss the bottle in the trash and make a new one. They feel safe in the tube but it can't support their weight.
Great tips but my mouses are in the ceilingvand walls of my gaff. They aint comin into the rooms. Those plug in deterents are as much use as the French in a war so I have had to cut holes in the wall n ceiling and put bait out. Pesky blighters. Always liked mice but hate em now.
i’ve had a mice problem on and off for months. haven’t heard them in weeks and alas they come back on the worst night of all. christmas eve. btw they are in these cupboard tunnels which are built into my room
You will NEVER get rid of mice with traps or a cat unless you find and plug where they are getting into your house. I used steel wool mixed with glue to plug the small spaces. If you don't prevent them from coming in, you will catch dozens and new ones will just replace them. The ones you dont catch will breed and before you know it you are overrun. He used humor but it's no joke.
You two are Adorable!! Thank you for the humor when presenting a solution for these frustrating little critters. I am so grateful, as usual, for social media where people can, if they so choose, research any topic 24/7. There are so many solutions to choose from, which is great!!! Travis @Family Handyman - you definitely know where they live for sure. I was laughing right off the bat because yesterday we found our small dogs, small kibble, behind the bottom drawer next to our stove. Oh, and they brought the ants, but they are no longer there since I went on an ant massacree.... yes, I know I didn't spell it correctly! Our family, for generations, is known for our humor. It has gotten us through some tough stuff! I wish everyone success on your own massacree!!
ive placed many traps and got a few on my first three days but now it feels like they are avoiding them. i use gloves when i place them, put them near walls and high traffic areas but its no longer working and its really frustrating. Help!
Traps are temporary fixes,you have to inspect your house or apartment for openings that mice can squeeze through and stuff those openings with a lot of STEEL WOOL...
I have Finally Discovered What Really Works...Sprinkle a Few Tiny Bits of "Farmer John " Polish Sausage around ... In front of the Trap Trigger area...Then Squeeze from under the Trigger , under the Pointed Bait Hook , a Small piece of Sausage...just a Tease...Set it in a High Traffic Area.. It will Kill em all Day and Night....one After the Other...just keep using the Same Large Victor Rat Trap. Or Load a Small one the Same Way.. !!

I left my cabinets open at night and Fluffy came through on the first night! He was crazy as a kid, I saw him jump up and catch a bird in flight, I know me and the bird were both surprised. (Bird was politely released and sat on fence looking a little confused and disheveled)

I'm moving into a log cabin and I just saw a mouse on the kitchen counter. The mouse and I both made eye contact. The mouse and I were probably both freaked out at our existence. I've only moved a recliner, some tires, and some tools into it so far. Instead of moving more stuff into the place tomorrow, I'm going to set some traps and lay out some poison. I'm thinking about "hiring" a cat now. I've heard that the smell of a cat is enough to scare away mice.
Wen i moved into my new apartment i had a little mouse problem. I was finding atleats 3 mice a day in my roof. The moment i got a cat i didn't ever hear from the mice or see them again i think the mice can defiantly smell the cat
I know more than everyone that uses traps if you have a home with traps start over haha,well consider if the building damage is considerable in a remodel or complete new construction with out the mistakes of making a non pest proof home ,use your pinky finger to check for openings if it fits a mouse can too, if you spray foam the holes the mouse won't smell an opening and try to chew through.most people have a dryer missing a mesh screen on the hose or need to spray foam small holes in around pipes and wires in basement and attic use tape to seal of and check for when they chew through as a guide usually its a hole on outside of house with a trail in the snow..
I have mice In the attic. Mice are smart. The sticky traps worked at first as did the snap traps then the bait. But not anymore. Any suggestions? Thanks.
41 mice is not a little bit of a problem. You need to find and seal up the holes the mice are using to enter the house. If you can't control or eliminate the mice yourself, call a professional to handle the mice problem. The video was kinda cute...

Look for food trails, hairs, and greasy sebum from them squeezing through tight spaces. They use the scent from their body secretions to know how to get in and out of you home or business. Look up, mice and rats can scale shear up the side of a flat surface. So don't just look around the perimeter at ground level. Fill the holes with fine steel wool then seal with a caulking/sealant. Go to the confectionery isle, store, or online and purchase 100% peppermint oil. Not extract, Not essence of, Not essential oil. Cover your eyes and nose when you open the bottle. Add a few drops to a multi purposes spray bottle filled with water. Check the mixture to make sure there is a strong peppermint smell. Don't over do it. The oil is very strong and very expensive. Only use what you need. If you're feeling foggy, make your own pepper spray using the hottest peppers you can find. Jalapenos are hot enough though. Place a few peppers and water in a blender. Blend with the cap on. Wear gloves and cover nose and eyes when opening/handling. Pour the blend through a fine strainer, hosiery, or cheese cloth. Add the liquid to your peppermint oil and water filled spray bottle. Do not use pepper spray if you have small children that play or crawl on the floor, or pets. Spray the mixture anywhere you see mouse activity. Spray along baseboards and in dark tight spaces. Spray along the perimeter of the outside. You will need to reapply every so often outside. You will be free of mice, rates, raccoons, Possom, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, dragons, and dinosaurs.
Yes...the DINOSAURS are so pesky!

Great Video ! Came accross this looking for ideas to get rid of a mice thats been hunting me for the last 2 days! This video gave me the confidence to hopefully catch that sucker !
Use peanut butter,the mice glue traps are good too,a lot less messy,good luck...
If one is hunting you it's just the scout. There's a battalion at the ready. You either declare war or wake up with them attempting to infiltrate your every orifice! 😀
I’ve never had a mouse problem, but I think I have one at my house because I hear little noises.. idk how it even got in!! I’m so scared, it’s 5 am rn and I can’t sleep...
We used to put them in a paper bag , and when a mouse set it off we just threw the whole thing away with out having to look at the dead rat
instead of putting mouse traps everywhere fix your foundation, cement all holes. If you think they will eat through plaster, just crash glass mix it in with plaster and cover walls in basement..
That open pipe behind the toilet should be filled with steel wool.
What about sealing off their entrances?
That’s a bit like Donald Trump building a stupid wall.
They just keep creating new holes 🕳
Exactly!
Thanks ... but, darn, this scared the heck outta me ! I'm scared to find out how many more there might be .....
“After they see some of their lil buddies get nailed they’ll Wise Up” 😂😂🤣
This is the best video I have seen on how to locate mice entrances & trapping them ! It’s plain, simple and to the point !! Thanks Trapper man !! Body count 25 🙌🏻. They were coming in the window, where some rain had rotted a spot ! My Yorkie was alot of help too!! He was alert to their scratching and was just as helpful as a cat.!
This deserves to be famous the last part is the best
I dunno how this video showed up on my timeline, but i needed it. I dont have a "mouse problem", but i have seen 2 lately around my house. Im gonna use these tips though and see what comes of it. Thanx for the info.
Lol! Love the humor you and your wife found in each other! Thanks for sharing!
Dude I have seen a crap load of videos on catching mice but by far yours is the most lighthearted funny good and actually informative video yet... Great video!
😂 I love this guy. Looks like he really enjoys catching mice 😂
How to get rid of mice. Set traps. Great advice. Never would have thought of it. If you caught that many mice in three weeks, you need to look for a solution. Not a temporary fix.
I have mouse in my room.
I have phobia from mice.
【U S E R . E X E】 what happened
Are u alive
how did ya fix it
I just found mouse droppings in all three kitchen drawers, AGAIN!!! So I stumbled across this video... and it’s fantastic!
Last fall/winter my elder cat Graycie got 3 of those bastards! She passed in August 😿 I have 2 mastiffs and first heard them back trying to get to the dog food... they have droppings in my kitchen. That brought me here... ITS ON!!! 💪🏾🐀🚫
TheKMGOLD get those mother Fuckers you go girl
Store all food in metal or glas containers & they will hopefully go somewhere else for a snack... Good luck 🙏💕🌍
" that suckers goin' Down".... We all sound like this sooner or later.
I woke up went on my phone and saw something run past my door so I put a light on my phone because I thought it was a spider so then I saw a mouse so then I put a loud hz noise and then it squeezed under my door and ran off. Also I got a bin in my room and I’ve been hearing russtling in it for the past week but I didn’t think much about it and my dad is on his way home idk what’s gonna happen to the mouse
You got that many nice running around IT'S TIME TO MOVE!!!
I agree with you,think like a mice.I agree with a commentor,seal the entrances.No matter how clean & uncluttered homes,offices,etc. are if there are ways for mice to enter,they will keep coming.They likely won't stay long.Mopping with bleach,disinfectants,& ammonia,will lessen you seeing mice.Empty trash 1-2 times daily,place dirty dishes in refridgerator,if you are too lazy to wash them,keep foods in tighly sealed bins,tins,jars,etc.,sweep 1-3 times daily,don't eat in every room & no food trash in every room,air out homes,daily,spray a natural room deordorizer(non-food scented) & keep sinks,tubs,etc.dry.Keep up the good work.
Bro I’m 12 and I have six siblings and basically you know wen the is at least one child who is mature and the rest is so messy that they’ve actually attracted mice in the house well I am petrified of mice and every night when I’m on my laptop I hear scratching and it’s so scary but we can’t tell her mum because she’s more scared than me me and my dad have had to deal with mice in so many houses we’ve moved in I’ve had enough so I’m watching a bunch of these to get some tips your really helped us
Glue boards are best once there on it they cant get off the regular traps are tricky and dont always work
Somehow one time I caught four mice on one sticky trap, I've never topped that since, and even getting a double is rare
Caught 8 at one time.
I would be too afraid of a cat getting sick after catching mice. Any problem with that?
“Ugh Alexa no I need to figure how to make fried rice”
I'm in a panic! I just found 4 shredded rolls of toilet paper under my bathroom sink!! HOrrors! I went to the store at 6am for that toilet paper after 2 months of None in the store. Hubby and I watched this together and I got very queasy about sharing our home unknowingly with rodents. Do we need an exterminator to investigate how they are getting into our house??? I found a pile of bird food under one roll!!! We have a bird feeder front and back. My daughter left the bird food lay in the kitchen for 2-3 days after her daily fills. Does the mice come into my kitchen and return to the bathroom sink nest? We keep the bathroom door closed so how does it get in and out to access the bird food? I am sick about this new discovery. I hope Hubby can deal with this issue as I know I cannot see the carnage you described. I am an animal lover😳😩☹️ but cannot share my home, especially during quarantine😥😭👊🏼
Love your tips!! I agree the old traps are the best! All the new ones are less effective and the glue traps are horrid.
Ok I need help this morning my mom saw a mouse run across the house and it keeps going under doors and now it went into the boiler room. Any tips?
I live on a field and whenever I'm at home I hear noises. Once I heard like scratch scratch scratch. I got scared and I screamed. What could it possibly be??? Field mouse?
Texting Chat Stories mice for sure
Traps are temporary fixes you have to check inside and outside of the house and pack the openings with STEEL WOOL...
If it’s just scratching it’s probably a mouse. If you hear scratching followed by loud howls it could be big foot.
@@rickhunt3183 turns out it was a mouse that was in the house inside the walls we got it taken care of a few months ago and now I haven't heard anything else
That's a hell of a lot of mice. You might want to look around and find out where they are coming in at and plug the holes with some steel wool or aluminum foil. Doesn't sound like you're getting rid of them you're just keeping them at a constant number.
Two BEST tips: 1) locate and plug their entrance, often it can be a gap between wall and concrete foundation or pipe passages. 2) Set the trap @90% to the wall or cabinet base.(as mentioned)
Very entertaining video - Thanks! But - my goodness - all those mice; I'd feel like I was under siege...
Thank you you guys are funny I'm down here in sunny Florida just bought a fifth wheel and early this morning I heard something in my spare room well the big bag of dog food had a big hole on the bottom of it so now I start freaking out because I'm a clean freak and very organized and I want to know how he got in the trailer
But watching your video educated me on getting the little bastard so I'm on my way to Walmart to get some traps and some peanut butter thank you so much for your help it was a great video 😎👍
Did you catch any and also use steel wool to block any open areas,inside and outside..
Hilarious when the traps snap as he’s trying to close them twice, then seeing the taped up finger lol
I love this couple! Reality show please! 😍👍
I know a lot of this from childhood on a farm, but this is the best review I've seen. Learned some new stuff too. Funny is good.
I love when he tries to set the mouse traps and it keeps snatching his fingers lol😂
Your segment was very useful…and very funny. The taped up finger at the end was hilarious.
This is a very informative and easy to follow video thanks for sharing.
2 liter bottle. Drill one inch hole in it 2 inches below the cap. Make a tube from paper, about post card thick and size.
Put the tube in the hole. Put peanut butter on the inside edge of the tube. Five or six inches of water in the bottle.
Stand the bottle up with the tube in an area the mice can reach. I have been able to catch half a dozen mice reloading the peanut butter a few times.
Toss the bottle in the trash and make a new one. They feel safe in the tube but it can't support their weight.
He is the FIRE MARSHAL BILL of mouse trapping!😂
Great tips but my mouses are in the ceilingvand walls of my gaff. They aint comin into the rooms. Those plug in deterents are as much use as the French in a war so I have had to cut holes in the wall n ceiling and put bait out. Pesky blighters. Always liked mice but hate em now.
If he caught 41 mice then he must've had at least 141 in that house.....nasty. I don't view traps as a solution
Exactly, temporary fix though,gotta find the openings inside and outside of the house and block them with steel wool....
He said that was the kitchen in his workshop.
@Nmt Ti
Haha hahaha yes
Get a metal mouse trap that catches them in big numbers. To kill them fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and drown them before opening the trap.
onyxr throughout the year we caught a lot and you barely see the dropping they were coming from the stove
i’ve had a mice problem on and off for months. haven’t heard them in weeks and alas they come back on the worst night of all. christmas eve.
btw they are in these cupboard tunnels which are built into my room
You will NEVER get rid of mice with traps or a cat unless you find and plug where they are getting into your house. I used steel wool mixed with glue to plug the small spaces. If you don't prevent them from coming in, you will catch dozens and new ones will just replace them. The ones you dont catch will breed and before you know it you are overrun. He used humor but it's no joke.
Great kitchen. Huge fan of Travis Larson
I’m Trina ....the TRAPPERS wife😂😂🤣
Ke’Arrah Abrielle Trap Queen
Cool but there's a mouse in my heater and I cant just put a trap in there
If you get a kitten... make sure to get one who has been trained to hunt mice from a good mouser Momma cat.
The best darn mouse trap video. Very helpful and entertaining
Of course, we need a cat!
You two are Adorable!! Thank you for the humor when presenting a solution for these frustrating little critters.
I am so grateful, as usual, for social media where people can, if they so choose, research any topic 24/7.
There are so many solutions to choose from, which is great!!!
Travis @Family Handyman - you definitely know where they live for sure. I was laughing right off the bat because yesterday we found our small dogs, small kibble, behind the bottom drawer next to our stove.
Oh, and they brought the ants, but they are no longer there since I went on an ant massacree.... yes, I know I didn't spell it correctly! Our family, for generations, is known for our humor. It has gotten us through some tough stuff!
I wish everyone success on your own massacree!!
Trappers wife.. you had me rolling when you said that... OMG I'm so scared, disgusting rodents... I was scratched by one while asleep 😏
ive placed many traps and got a few on my first three days but now it feels like they are avoiding them. i use gloves when i place them, put them near walls and high traffic areas but its no longer working and its really frustrating. Help!
Place peanut butter on the trap, replace p.b. before gets rancid, place traps in their path.
@@jeannebartz8268 was thinking of trying tootsie rolls, i feel like it would be much harder for them to sneakily eat without the trap going off.
Traps are temporary fixes,you have to inspect your house or apartment for openings that mice can squeeze through and stuff those openings with a lot of STEEL WOOL...
I have Finally Discovered What Really Works...Sprinkle a Few Tiny Bits of "Farmer John " Polish Sausage around ... In front of the Trap Trigger area...Then Squeeze from under the Trigger , under the Pointed Bait Hook , a Small piece of Sausage...just a Tease...Set it in a High Traffic Area.. It will Kill em all Day and Night....one After the Other...just keep using the Same Large Victor Rat Trap. Or Load a Small one the Same Way.. !! Also I Have Recently Had Suprisingly Great Results with the NEW STYLE----- Dcon Mouse Bait trap Station...with Grey Bait. squares.. ( Not the Old Style Green Blocks....!!! )That You put in the Clear top Lid...Then Watch the Bait Thru the Top....How Much and How Fast the Bait Disappears...!!! I found 3- tiny Mice 10"
From the Bait Station in a Line...ALL DECEASED... I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT....!!
IF YOU WANT TO TRY THE OLD USELESS PEANUT BUTTER MODE....LOAD SOME PEANUT BUTTER, BUT WRAP AROUND SIME THREAD, WITH A GOOD KNOT...SO IT CATHES ON THE METAL HOOK...YOU WILL GET RESULTS THAT WAY ALSO...I HOPE I HAVE HELPED YOU....BILL IN L.A., CALIF.12-01-18
Next video: how to sew on a shirt button.
...and square up a gig line !
OCD
I left my cabinets open at night and Fluffy came through on the first night!
He was crazy as a kid, I saw him jump up and catch a bird in flight, I know me and the bird were both surprised.
(Bird was politely released and sat on fence looking a little confused and disheveled)
Thank-you... I went from FREAKED OUT to LMAO. After all...this is a first world problem.
L.O.L....Uproarious Laughter!!!!!! This guy is AMAZING and so is his adorable wife! I would recommend this video to people who don't even HAVE mice. My congratulations guys. The info is good and the delivery is AWSOME. Thank you!
Loved the video!!!
Thomas Smith
I liked it so much I turned phone upside down and liked it again
Saw a mouse in my house and I am terrified, watched this video and it kinda made things better 😂
-i am sorry but i am not putting a damn trap on my stove..
Get the mice glue traps,there a lot less messy,add a lil peanut butter in the center of the trap..
You eat dead bloody meat dont you? Its no different just clean the stove there poop is worse than a little blood
@@rubyjoy9752 nah im a vegan smartass
Shannon Mona well what do you know youre a vegan? Really... Liar
You only need to do it if you see evidence of mice playing on or in your stove. Tiny hairs, droppings especially in the storage drawer.
Surely the first thing to do is find out where they are getting in and block it up?
Off to buy 15 traps..
Glue traps are a lot less messy,put peanut butter in the center of the trap...
I've caught the most with the electric trap. And you don't have to keep buying new traps. You just reset it the next day.
I'm moving into a log cabin and I just saw a mouse on the kitchen counter. The mouse and I both made eye contact. The mouse and I were probably both freaked out at our existence. I've only moved a recliner, some tires, and some tools into it so far. Instead of moving more stuff into the place tomorrow, I'm going to set some traps and lay out some poison. I'm thinking about "hiring" a cat now. I've heard that the smell of a cat is enough to scare away mice.
Wen i moved into my new apartment i had a little mouse problem. I was finding atleats 3 mice a day in my roof. The moment i got a cat i didn't ever hear from the mice or see them again i think the mice can defiantly smell the cat
That's a lot of mice🤦🏾♀️.
Wayyyyyyyyyy to many,smh..
I know more than everyone that uses traps if you have a home with traps start over haha,well consider if the building damage is considerable in a remodel or complete new construction with out the mistakes of making a non pest proof home ,use your pinky finger to check for openings if it fits a mouse can too, if you spray foam the holes the mouse won't smell an opening and try to chew through.most people have a dryer missing a mesh screen on the hose or need to spray foam small holes in around pipes and wires in basement and attic use tape to seal of and check for when they chew through as a guide usually its a hole on outside of house with a trail in the snow..
This video is the awesome.
You mentioned putting the trap by the pipes that has holes around it but said nothing about closing up the hole with steel wool.
This guy rules
"So how much mice have you killed?"
"Yes"
Use sticky traps
Sticky traps are a crueler method than the snap traps.
MegF why do you defend an animal that could kill or make some of your family members?
I have mice In the attic. Mice are smart. The sticky traps worked at first as did the snap traps then the bait. But not anymore. Any suggestions? Thanks.
@@sosidecop64 I've caught alot with the electric trap. Zaps them to death
41 mice is not a little bit of a problem. You need to find and seal up the holes the mice are using to enter the house. If you can't control or eliminate the mice yourself, call a professional to handle the mice problem. The video was kinda cute...
if I were Trump I would tell that old cat "YOUR FIRED!".
Kitty is retired!
41 catches in 3 weeks?
.darling...pack the kids and the bags...we're moving out!
This guy is the man why haven’t this gone viral
Take this show on the road...Lol! ...Great presentation, and info. thx
