    Hey baking soda will kill mice? What if you mix A large quantity of BS with say, peanut butter powder or a pack of cherry jello. Then Put a small dish of water with a table spoon of vinegar in it next to the BS mix.

    I can't make sense of it. At times it lools like maybe 2 of whatever it is, other times just one. Now, I almost want to say it a bird, almost owl like in the way the eyes pivot around.

    Freaking me out niw as it is directly beneath my bed(in the basement) and I can hear it hitting the HVAC piping.

    Effer was flopping and flailing the whole time, still managed to eat the sardines. Only tuna left. Main grocery store near me is closed for easter, need to find something open in the morning.

    They were skittish. Kept smelling the cage and jumping back. Never would have thought it for city trash, the one finally couldn't resist.

    Second is going to be tougher, but its stomache will do it in. It has no choice, I hope....

    It was freaking craxy as I watched it all happen in real time. Could see them on the monitor but hear them across the room. Trying not to make movement noise as they smelled the cage and scurried off, then hunger and curiosity brought them back. The one I caught finally went in and its head was over the bowl, thought it beat me and was going to pull the bowl out, then it took that final half step and I heard it before I seen it, that door snapped shut and it freaked out.

    I haven't killed a deer in several years, but I had that same rush tonight. I never would have fathomed it to feel like that.

    I hope the release it means something different. They need a nuisance depopulation IMO
