Dead mouse!

[PRSplaya]

There's a dead mouse somewhere in my office, and I can't find it. It's driving me crazy! :mad: I think it may be rotting up in the ceiling somwhere, but wherever it is, it's getting worse and worse http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/wuerg/vomit-smiley-015.gif

Try to live with it a few days. It'll eventually dry up and the smell will go away. Although you'll still have a dead mouse sitting around somewhere.

Bad news is that if you have one mouse, there's a real good chance you have a few more. If they're left unchecked they can multiply real quick.
Use a couple of traps and bait them with peanut butter.
(contrary to the cartoons, mouse don't really like cheese)
Make sure it's the only food available in the place. Check the traps every day cause mice are really good at licking the stuff off without setting off the trap. Smear some under the trip lever so they have to really squeeze in there to get it, and put a couple of dabs on the other parts of the trap so that they have to move around on top of it to get to them. Re-Apply any peanut butter that got wiped clean every day. Now they've found a reliable food source and will come back to check every night. Within a week or so you should have gotten rid of them.
If the trap sits around without being set off for a week, you've probably gotten em all, but check every few months cause future mice will follow the trails left by the old mice and find a way in too.

oh yeah..use rat traps rather than those piddly little mouse traps.
Those little things are useless and the mice just carry them away when they get stuck.
Plus the rat traps have a very satisfying SNAP to them when they go off.

ethylene glycol (anti freeze) will probably do it, it is pretty poisonous and tastes sweet. Make sure there are no cats about cos they love it and it kills them.

I'm thinking the mouse got into the poison they put out, and got into the ceiling and died. It's not quite as strong smelling as it was earlier, but it's still pretty funky.

[Kevin Taylor]

That's why ya have to trap em. If you poison them they'll go away somewhere to die and you'll never find em.

Rat traps are fun. Fingers in rat traps are not.

Mouse theory, eh? That's a pretty cool article.

i wanna know some mouse scales, man...

[drivingburnt]

A gas mask would make a nice fashion statement :D

I'll try and dig them up, but I've got some good recipes that use mouse meat lying around. I do remember that mice are really nice when they're deep fried. I made that once a while back, it was quite tasty.

I'll see what I can find.

The funk isn't quite as bad this morning, but there's still a hint of rotting dead mouse excrements.

Speaking of rat traps... I had one of those big 8" rat traps go off on my thumb a while back. After the initial shock and pain it went numb, and I couldn't move it. I thought it broke it, but luckily it didn't. Lesson learned... Don't play with rat traps while drunk :rolleyes:

[Kevin Taylor]

Yeah, man.. those things are scary. When they're set and you have to carry them to where you're going to place them, you have to hold the things by the edges and walk like you're carrying nitroglycerin or something.

[PRSplaya]

Yeah, well, my dumb/drunk arse set it and then made it go off on my thumb on purpose. All because someone said "you won't do it". I guess I showed them :rolleyes: ha ha

Those are the same as regular scales...you just have to start them on at least the 48th fret. :D

I'm just picturing the crowd of mice all gathering round to their favourite mouse guitar solo.
