Mice

[singhr]

we did use a trap that caught em without killing but you end up having to wash the tulip out of it each time they get in there. plus you have to deal with live rodent as you are trying to rush out of house in morning with kids wanting to play with it. We've had at least 50 over years using the little nippers but they do get a bit bloody and wake you up as little chappie is thrashing around the kitchen in the middle of the night. makes their eyes pop out too if it catches em in middle of skull.

To get rid of the mouse once caught you need:

One metre of scaffold.
One scaffold end piece.
15mm drill
12v battery
One HT coil
One HT lead
One spark plug
1 cc of petroleum.

Correctly assembled the mouse can be launched (live) to a distance several blocks away.

Tulip,

Little barstewards infesting my flat.

Woke up at 4h30 to find one tucking into my organic apples!

Any tips on how to get rid of them, my requirements are non-toxic as I have a dog and want to limit collateral damage, but humane dispatching of said pestilence is an optional requirement.

I like the sound of this but can not see how to fire it without the rodent becoming toast.

Mouses can survive more g-forces than we can. You can drop a mouse down a mine shaft and it will survive. So firing one from a petrol-fuelled cannon and have it survive might well be plausible.

I get that bit but there is no mention of a container or barrier in the original spec to protect the mouse from the petrol explosion. It will be a crisp before it leaves the tube. Imagine the nighbours cats surprise when a ready cooked meal lands on its doorstep.

Flied mice!

What about wadding such as used in a musket?
