Mouse infestation

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE mice...But I despise the horrid little bastards who defecate all over the inside of my oven. I scrubbed the inside out with pine sol several times but it still reeks of mouse feces & piss. Every time a family member uses the oven, the entire house smells like it. It makes me want to vomit. I assume they have gotten into a part of the oven that I can't reach without taking it apart...what the fuck should I do about this?

 

get another oven and keep it disinfected or get someone who knows what the're doing to completly disassembe it and disinfect every piece. and for gosh sake don't try to do this without completely disconnecting it for it's source of fuel or power.

the best way to control/prevent colonization by any life forms where you don't want them to be colonizing is to not create an environment for them to do so.

keeping everything really clean is a generalized summation, but to deal with a particular life form it helps to truely understand what attracts and is useful to it.

then it may be possible to attract them to someplace where they would be more welcome to remain, as well as deny them opportunities to colonize where they are not.

that is the underlying principal of integrate pest management. even taking the approach of killing the little bastards, if they try your patience to the extent of feeling that way, isn't alone going to prevent or remove such colonizations, or at least cannot be counted upon to do so.

live trapping and putting them inside of some kind of terrarium they can't escape from would be cool, but just circumstantialy inviting them to move along elsewhere is the bottem line of what is really needed.

and cleaning your oven once, even with complete thoroughness, ain't gonna cut it. you need to develop ways of dealing with it that prevents it from ever again becoming an attractive environment to them if you want them perminently never to return to it.

get someone to go in there and get all the little fuckers out, then put them in a blender and make a mice milkshake...

 

Ugh... Get a new oven and an exterminator. Sorry, I have no feelings for mice.

 

Sounds like you had better start putting out the poison for them. Its incredible how fast mice and rats multiply. The trouble with poisons is they will die some were that you cant see them and start to stink for a few months but its better then a rat or mice biting you in your sleep. After you get them under control use traps.

I get a little embarrassed when I have to go buy rat poison

( I figure the clerk must think I am dirty because I have rats)

So I tell them I don’t have rats this poison is just a conversation piece for my coffee table. Cheers and good luck getting rid of the vermin.

 

Autumns Moon Child :
I don't know what is this winter. Have been in our cabin 15 years and saw one mouse and trapped it about 8 years ago. Now its a on going battle with the little shits.
Have 5 traps on our main floor and 3 in the basement. Keeps me busy cleaning out the traps and re baiting them. Many of our neighbors have the same complaints.
Thank god they haven't got into our oven. My advice would be to clean it again and turn it up to high 425*F and leave the house for a few hours. If theres any vermin hiding in the insulation, that should incinerate the little bastards.
Good Luck and Happy Hunting...........Dennis.....

 

Hello! I have a trick that keeps rats and mice from stealing the bait from traps. I hot glue a couple of small cracker pieces together then hot glue it to the trap. Cheers!

 

Excuse me? I'm sure I could build myself a human sized blender to slush up everyone with this kind of mentality towards animals.

 

Mice come into homes for two reasons - food and shelter. Often you'll get "invaded" because something/someone has deprived them of either or both at their previous homes, such as a neighbor tearing down an old building. If you don't catch them and put them outside pretty fast, they'll breed and now the babies think your home is their home. There are a number of live catch traps on the market that work well, just catch them and release them. A brush pile or field some distance away from your house has worked well for us.

I'd unplug the stove and take it apart. Find out where the mice are getting inside, and plug it (one of the metal scrubbing pads often works well for this, drive a nail through it to keep them from pushing it aside). While the stove is in pieces is a good time to clean and sanitize it.

 

yeah get the little plastic tube live traps ...place a piece of cracker with peanut butter on it in them ...works like a charm...then go release them away from your place..no need to waste money on the disposable traps and forget the poisons ...who wants a rotting corpse smelling in their walls ....its not good and then you get maggots and flys ..oh boy

 

The best way to keep the mice out is to get a cat.

 

Don't poison or use glue traps. Glue traps are inhumane, and other animals end up getting to the poison. Trap them with spring traps or live traps. Or get a blacksnake. Why is this in Pure Bull?

 

use a bread machine

 

Wish I was around.....I wouldn't have to buy all these little fuckers for my snakes.

And don't ever use poison. For one thing they will suffer tremendously, and another your place will stick of rotting mice corpses for months. It's much better to use spring or live traps

 

Crummy... please.

 

Yes that was disgusting, though quite fake I imagine

 

looks real enough to me

 

I used to work in a resturant (many moons ago), and we kept getting corn muffins back with roaches baked in them. Typically they were baked onto the bottom, so they were hard to see. I can only imagine the ones we didn't get back. I worked there. I never said I ate there...

 

It sounds like the mice got into the insulation of your oven. Try what Alaskan suggested, if that doesn't work buy new/used. Using bait block or pellets works, just keep in mind that rodents think of them as food. Bait away from your home. Start with the garage, shed or other out building. Rodents follow each others urine tracks. Lure them away from you. Rodents don't have the ability to vomit. The poison causes them to bleed internally. Check your cereals and grains. Oh, and that packet of fish food you got for that goldfish from the fair.
