    Had a mouse dart past me in the lounge a while back. He went straight behind the tv cabinet. I couldn't be arsed to move the entire cabinet so I put some of this on the end of a long dialling rod and poked him with it. I was surprised at how quickly it set, and in a short while said mouse was firmly attached to the end of the rod. Only way to get him off was to stand on his head and pull.

        My cat once coughed up a whole dead mouse. It was like something out of Aliens, all covered in goo.
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          If you haven't got any peanut butter, chocolate is another good bait for them.

            Never mind all this mouse malarky, where the hell do you live to make it still dark at 9am?

                  one of mine just coughed up a head in my office, went downstairs to the kitchen to get summat to clean the mess up to find the rest of it being eaten by 2 of the others.

                  and yes it did rather look like an alien

Spent the next ten minutes rocking the fridge to get the barsteward out but to no avail. A few weeks later the kitchen began to pong more than the usual student aromas. Lifted up the fridge to discover a maggot infested carcass of a Rat.
                    You should have let it be, it would keep the place clear of mice.

                      So I am entering the kitchen and my eyes were still blurry but I saw something rushing from the garbage bag on the floor to a small hole below the cupboard. It was either a mouse or a roach.

                      No more unwrapped food on the table for me ..
                      You sure it wasn't a rat?
                      If so, I'd get onto UB40.
