Reply #19: "Don't Squeak"

[chknltl]

It was a song which Gwen Stefani wrote about bestiality with a mouse.... never made it out on any of her albums for some reason....







sorry .... inside joke that only a few here will get.






second sorry to all you No Doubt fans out there who did get it but now hate me.






no mice were used or abused here so a third "sorry to the mice" is not needed, tell you what as a public service to mice everywhere I will tell you how I deal with the occasional mouse who finds his way into my home.
tools:
a pair of gloves
a bottle of any household oil, cooking or olive or salad your choice.
a sticky trap or a glue trap, (found at most hardware stores)
a mouse
1. Place trap along known pathway of mouse.
2. Once mouse gets stuck, put your gloves on.
3.Take stuck mouse, trap and your bottle of oil outside to a safe release point.
4.Here is the tricky part: grasp mouse tail with with gloved fingers and pour a little oil on mouse and trap.
5.Oil should loosen the glue enough that you can now gently pull mouse away from trap.
6.Feed mouse to cat!


(if you are like me and don't have any kittys handy that last step is optional). (What you do with the mouse now is your business, me I like watching them scamper off)
