I know that glue traps are inhumane...
Dawn O. unfriended me from Facebook, but that's okay. Eric called earlier to say that he could pick me up at 7 for Fellowship tonight... I don't even know if I should go. Too bad I couldn't excuse myself, if only because I need to do Sunday School prep. But at least I'll be away from the mouse here, I guess... Corey and I spent some time talking about how glue traps really are inhumane. I know that, but the management gives me no other choice! (now he's trying to tell me that Mr. Creep wasn't asking me for personal information... asking whether I'm good at directions may not be such, but he'll ask for more if I give him THAT!)
[00:25:38] AlenaBrolxFlami: did I tell you that I had to take out ANOTHER dead mouse?
[00:25:49] mrptptpt: that's good, isn't it?
[00:27:48] AlenaBrolxFlami: yeah... it was relatively small... which is fine, but I'm pretty sure there's another one running around here
[00:28:17] mrptptpt: I just read that glue traps are the most horrible inhumane way to catch mice
[00:28:20] mrptptpt: a while ago
[00:29:01] mrptptpt: they get stuck and starve to death, or gnaw their legs off, or break their back struggling to get free.... normal traps just snap shut and kill them, or you can get ones that trap them
[00:29:38] mrptptpt: we have glue trap things in our basement, but those are to collect spiders
[00:29:52] AlenaBrolxFlami: yes, I have also heard that... I don't think the management likes the other traps for some reason...
[00:30:31] AlenaBrolxFlami: I've heard of the "Havahart" traps... but then you'd have to set them free somewhere away from your place... which is fine, but EW ALIVE MICE!
[00:31:20] mrptptpt: there's some plastic ones that snap shut and don't hurt the mouse. someone that does that for a living said those are by far the easiest to use, along with being the most humane. no mess to deal with.. just go out somewhere to let them go and pop them open again, then the trap is reusable and ready to go again
[00:31:29] mrptptpt: apparently they're only a few bucks each too
[00:32:24] mrptptpt: yes, you have a live mouse inside, which I don't want to deal with either, but I don't really want dead mice all over the place until I find them either...
[00:32:37] mrptptpt: or dealing with dead mice
[00:36:45] AlenaBrolxFlami: yeah, that's also true... would you need to wash said trap?
[00:39:00] mrptptpt: I don't know, maybe if it poops in it :P
[00:39:58] mrptptpt: they also said mice like to run along the walls, so make sure the traps are along walls.. like if the openings of the traps are pointed away from the wall, they won't even check it out. if they're pointed toward the wall, they'll come across the opening and go in to check things out
[00:40:39] mrptptpt: he said a lot of his exterminator calls were from people that already had traps out, but they weren't placed properly. a few adjustments and they'd clear the place out in no time
[00:40:54] mrptptpt: so make sure all of yours are along the walls
[00:47:09] AlenaBrolxFlami: I know one of mine is under the couch... I can't get in to the walls
[00:55:45] mrptptpt: well, then that's probably not a useful place for it, unless that one has caught things before
[00:58:33] AlenaBrolxFlami: I've had traps under the couch (sometimes with additional things on there), and they've caught mice before
[01:00:24] mrptptpt: well, leave it then :P
[01:02:22] AlenaBrolxFlami: yeah, I guess I will... the ones along the wall don't seem to do anything, although sometimes I wish I could get one along the wall to trap something... but it would be a problem getting it out since it's inaccessible
[01:06:32] mrptptpt: too much furniture?
[01:10:28] AlenaBrolxFlami: yes
[01:10:38] AlenaBrolxFlami: I heard a noise just now... WHAT IS IT?!
[01:16:00] mrptptpt: a dildo
[01:23:01] AlenaBrolxFlami: you silly... dildoes probably don't make noises
[01:28:12] mrptptpt: some do
[01:28:43] mrptptpt: the ones that vibrate
[01:31:23] AlenaBrolxFlami: don't even GO there
