As for the rodent, I'd be leaving the doors open and setting the trap outside the car. +1 for Nutella.

keep cats away from mouse traps they get quite upset when they get a paw snapped in the trap @ 3 am followed by yours truly getting very upset @ 3.05 am... catching a frantic cat with a trap on its foot that is moving at ballistic speeds @ 3 am is about as fun as constipation...

Local councils or the RSCPA hire out cat traps for a small fee per day. Once the cat has been caught, give them a ring and they take care of the rest.
On the subject of the mouse traps. XR6AUS (thank you very much) has kindly offered to post the picture up for me, so we'll wait for that to occur.

Ha - mice, uploading pictures now cats. This thread just seems to be getting better.
Sorry to a be bit off topic, but my problem is a little bit bigger - my brother continually turns up, rummages through the pantry, drinks my beer and then leaves. Any suggestions in curbing this pest? |

Here is the picture svo supporter is talking about, per this quote:

![]() Taking a stab at how this works, do you put something like peanut butter, cheese etc on the flat part and then the top slams shut if the mouse starts to eat it? Looks interesting. |

yep had one of these to, about the size of my hand run across the wind screen and then disapear so i forgot about it. About 20 minutes later I felt something running up my leg, by the time I could look it was sitting in my lap looking at me, first thing I did was lock the brakes on the old navara, then jump out and do the spider dance(must hve looked funny as to passers by). As soon as it hit the ground it was off, crossed 4 lanes of traffic and dissapeared into the swamp across the road. the navara copped a bug bomb as soon as I got home after that experience.

Well don't use tarzan grip. That's only good for catching elephants, and if you have an elephant in the lane, you better firstly do what it wants and secondly get a new set of springs

I am surprised they are still legal in QLD. Point is, there are better ways to go about getting rid of these animals without having to torture them - quick-killing lethal traps are always best. Causing pointless suffering is quite pathetic, and that's what glue traps do 100% of the time (the only exception is if you regularly monitor the trap and humanely kill the animal, but how often does that happen?)

Sounds horrible, they should be banned everywhere immediately. The people using those must have no feelings whatsoever IMO.
Those plastic traps shown earlier work well from my experience, using peanut butter. |

Thumbs up to GavinB. Fair enough to get rid of the little guy but it doesn't take much to be humane about it. Some of the suggestions here have been making my stomach churn.
OP I still reckon you should keep him and give him a name, it seems like he is enjoying your company ![]()

I know I'll cop flack for this comments, but here goes anyway. Who really cares how "inhumane" these glue raps are. As long as you catch the mouse.
Has anyone seen what a mouse can do to a wiring loom in a car or a house? Personally, I'd prefer the mouse to suffer, rather than have one of them chew wiring in a car or my home and me end up either in intensive care or dead from burns.

Heck, some of the stuff we've done as a species is comparatively a lot worse... but does that mean we should torture each other? Just saying, no need to be a jerk about things. |
