Always, and then I sprinkle some seeds or nuts in the peanut butter

What do you do about baby mice dieing in your walls when you catch momma and papa?

It stinks!!!!!!

 

We live in the mountains and constantly battle mice...... it's getting old.

I cut them out if it smells worse than losing $150 to ya hahaha

 

do they always die in the same wall? I’ve opened many walls and found lots of skeletons with a fresh mouse on top. Just so happened to be the only wall that was open into the attic, no framing across the top. I saw one guy that just left a snap trap inside the wall they always fell into, at least then he could retrieve the carcass . Take baseboard loose and maybe leave a hole in sheet rock you could pull them out of, then nail base board back on to hide the hole in sheet rock

I would have easily gave $150 for the last stinch if you patched the drywall. ?

Wife and I held our breath going downstairs.

You’re a Jack of all trades. Now you can add culinary expert to your résumé.

I had a customer today ask me if I could check a glue trap someone had set in her crawl space. She said they had put it down there over a year ago. I saw a snake on it and just assumed it was dead. Put it into my truck and it started wiggling around! I didn’t have veggie oil on me to free it, so i radioed to my coworker and he said he had some, bring it to the shop. Here’s a video of what happened after he doused it with oil. At the end he says “now we can roll it in flour and deep fry it!” Hahahaha

Nah just kind of forget about it sometimes, caught a lot of groundhogs and skunks lately.

Oh baby. My coworker runs most of the fountain city jobs. We used to go there after church when I was a Kid

You probably already answered this, but I’m too lazy to go back and look ?. What do you do with them once caught? Take em far away and release em, or do you just go around the block and release them so you’ll have never ending work ?

Hahahah. It’s species dependent , I’m not allowed to re locate the common rabies vector species . With things like groundhog, squirrel, and possum, I can relocate them at certain places. Also, it’s hard to catch anything twice so releasing down the block would just cause you to have to check empty traps day after day and probably lose money hahaha

One of the nastiest and aggressive things I saw was a rabid woodchuck.  Man that thing was psycho.
