@nathanmedema5458 17 күн бұрын

If you notice the gallon jugs are not full that he's pouring in there they're only about half

I built one like that over 30 years ago. Instead of a piece of PVC pipe, I used a plastic hair spray bottle. It keeps my garage clear of mice. They can do some serious damage to a car in a very short period of time.

Pretty cool but if you live by a field and invest in a barn owl nest box or build your own, the breeding pair will consume at least 2000 mice in one chick rearing season. Talk about eliminating Lyme disease vectors.

Ticks are the Vectors of the disease not the animals themselves. If you want rid of Lyme disease vectors buy animals that eat ticks like ground foraging birds.

@alan30189 Жыл бұрын

Very valid point! Owls are voracious eaters. A baby owl can wolf down a whole mouse. It’s unbelievable how they eat. Remember this though: Owls like to nest in tall trees, many times in tall, dead trees. So if you’re cutting down a tree in your yard that meets that definition, wait until wintertime, or observe the tree for a few weeks and make sure no owls or hawks are nesting in the tree. Owl boxes are, of course, a good alternative, especially if you don’t have tall trees in the area.

Worked for me, thanks! I used weed trimmer string and 1/2" PVC. Made 3 traps, first night caught 2 in the shed, 1 in the greenhouse and 1 in the garage. Don't use much peanut butter or else they fill up and get away. The harder they work for it, the more chance they have of falling in.

Just a tip if the “liquid mouse killer” is to be left for any length of time, use left over vegetable oil so the bodies do not decompose and smell.

That's actually what I'm going to use as lubrication for the wooden dowel I made with a piece of pvc that's a hair larger. Chipmonks keep digging damn holes near the foundation

We have done that before. Most recently we had chicken feed in a bucket fermenting in the garage. Several times we came in and found a dead mouse in the bucket. We are not sure how they got in because there was no way up except flying or climbing up the bucket. But we found several mice several different days.

Frugal Farmer Channel , Try using a 2 qt fruit juice/tomato juice can on a coathanger axel wire set BELOW top of bkt. Set ramp at R angle to can. They HAVE to jump to reach peanut butter smeared can. Mice/rats are screwed once they jump & they ALWAYS jump. smearing a thin bit of Peanut butter up the ramp adds a scent trail & attracts more. Simple, cheap & works better than ALL these complicated crappers.
