I'm waiting for the escalation. Squirrel heads on spikes?
Chipmunk headstones maybe........... ?
Something tells me waterboarding might be necessary...but I doubt it would be effective.?

field report
day 5
brick fortress dismantled
yesterdays lull in activity short-lived
they've regrouped
chipmunk scouting party doing recon
wary of their tactics
chip psyops
ccic
chipmunk counter intelligence corp
they're toying with my mind
using me as a shuttle service to the park

waterboarding, headstones & spikes all sounding good right now
fur lined parka perhaps
possibility of scaled down version of chip cannon in the making
rodent howitzer

Ford Bronco Sport Rat/mouse problem 1665608981328

field report
day 6 - no activity
day 7 - at it again
time to rethink the matter
considering crock pot recipes
Similar to recipe for rattlesnake. Put 3 rattlesnakes in a pot. Add 12 Oz. Jack Daniels. Let marinate for 30 minutes. Then throw away the rattlesnake and drink the Jack Daniels.?

This trap doesn’t need to be reset every time and you can modify step 6 by adding water to the bottom of the bucket so releasing could be a mute point.

brought this on myself
self-inflicted
time not so long ago
Kong's and the Munks were best of friends
many a communal peanut or two on the front porch
hop right up on your lap
moment or two enjoying the day
generational families of Munks have come and gone
then came the fated day
lights flickering
Munks swore the chewed wires were the handiwork of the mice
the council spoke
banishment

We were friends once too. When they decided the garage was a better place to live than that hole in the ground. We came to a mutual understanding that they could come as they please and as long as they were there, I would teach them to swim. I’ve already discussed my inability to properly teach rodents to swim. Best part of this device compared to my “doesn’t have a heart trap” is the auto reload. :cool:

Reminds me of when we first saw a mouse in our house. We thought, okay we’ll set traps and catch it. First night, we caught 9.

One thing I learned, at least with mice, is look for the poop. Walk around the house or garage and look for a collection of droppings. That is where they are coming and going. Then you have to figure out how to close that entry.

I was told that just zip tying some dryer sheets under the hood agitates pests' sense of smell enough that they'll avoid the area. I guess it's pretty common practice for RV owners when preparing them to sit for a while.

I guess I should store my dryer sheets in the garage.

only way to get them is to snap trap em, quick and easy. i'm not a cat fan, but theres a few in my neighborhood and i just leave them be as i usually see them with the odd mouse or squirrel in their fat cat face.

Interesting... I'm going to Florida next month for 2 weeks vacation and think I might try that.

Or is 2 weeks too short? The Bronco Sport is parked outside.
