The Plague!

i'm loving this

Have you thought about leaving a little bit right at the entrance to the trap to try and entice them in? Like a starter or a free sample

When I was at university we had a mouse and I tried this, leaving a trail of bait leading up to the trap. Unfortunately this mouse was too clever to fall for my ploy and it just ate everything up to the trap and then ran away.

I'm concerned that by doing that the mouse will outwit me and gorge itself on the freebie tasters without literally walking into my trap.

I want to remove the thing, not provide it with a luxurious existance.

I don't live there anymore and am in the process of moving in to a top floor flat so I guess my plague days are over? There could always be some sort of bird or wasp infestation I suppose.

**** URGENT NEWS.... POTENTIAL NEW PLAGUE ****

Giant spiders! This beast attacked me in my bedroom, it's nearly the same size as me I tell ya!! Nothing could stop it! (Except a pint glass and a bit of paper)











Video footage: YouTube - Probably the biggest spider ever found in the United Kingdom

Another spider plague!

[CitrusSR]

Urgh!! haha that is a bit bigger than mine you are right!

I don't really want anything bigger than that to get in so hopefully I won't win the contest

Aye, the pint glass only just fitted over it - it had to squeeze it's legs in a bit. I've just liberated it to the communal garden behind my flat. I hope it doesn't decide to come back!

I took a film just after I uploaded pics, but I'm kind of nervous humming and have a cough, so doubt I'll upload it (unless I can ditch the audio).

Is 'nervous humming' code for squealing like a girl?


I had a panicky moment during the capture of mine where I dropped it behind some drawers and I couldn't find it! I would have slept on the sofa instead of my room if I didn't spot it again lol

I normally just pick spiders up and throw them out of the window, but u do have to be a little careful:-

Poisonous House Spiders

If you pardon the pun, this mouse is taking the mickey.

It has so far evaded the tasty nibble in the humane trap.

So today I bought a couple of killer traps. I have loaded one of them with peanut butter.

At night, I can hear the mouse scurrying in the wall. It wakes me up and it needs to go.

I've put the death trap alongside the humane trap so the mouse can chose whether it should live and be transported to some desirable location, or be squished. It's a little like having a travel agency next to that Dignitas Clinic in Geneva. If it chooses one over the other then that is nothing to do with me and so should not affect my karma.
