Mouse
There's a mouse in my office. The little critter left me a few presents around my desk.
Laid out some glue traps for tonight. Let's see what I catch...

A co-worker, the foamer, used to work at a glass company here and they used glue traps. Apparently there's an oven there that gets pretty hot for the glass. Someone there threw a glue trapped mouse in and he says it vaporized pretty quickly. Ouch.

You are talking about city mice(Pussys) not like real mice ,survivers, like here in the country. Otherwise they would be called Rats.GORDON wrote:Depending on how much of a survivalist your mouse is, you might end up with a chewed off foot in your trap. If it is still stuck, you will either need to kill it or watch it dehydrate.

No mice in my office last night.
I cleaned my stash of food out (oatmeal and such) Friday, and while they did return over the weekend I think they've learned their lesson.
They were spotted elsewhere in the building Monday night eating grapes out of someone's garbage. That person set out a trap last night too and had fur in the glue trap this morning.
So score one for the mouse.

Just let loose the proper variety of snake in your office/cube. Mouse will be gone shortly.
Make sure you tag that slithering bastard with a transmitter, though, otherwise you'll never be able to find it again.

I actually suggested the snake idea yesterday. Then said if the snakes become a problem we can bring in hawks. And so on...

Nah. Electronic tagging and tracking is invaluable when doing nature-assisted surgical pest removal. Otherwise, you'll be genetically engineering vat-grown cyborg veloci-raptors with laser beams before you know it.

Please explain why that would be bad.
Last night's report: Another glue trap had the treat taken and fur stuck on the glue. This mouse laughs at glue traps.

Well, we'd put a kill switch in them. That way if they tried to eliminate us we have the means to wipe them all out at once with no effort.

Yeah, like how we put emergency door release hatches in that space rocket that trapped the astronauts inside. And how we had redundant safety features on that Deep Horizon well. And how Chernobyl had proper safety procedures in place. Mankind's record for performing competent science isn't enough to convince me it's a good idea. We'd fuck up the kill switch.Leisher wrote:Well, we'd put a kill switch in them. That way if they tried to eliminate us we have the means to wipe them all out at once with no effort.

Just got into the office and was told the mouse was captured on the third glue trap.
