So I flipped over the deck chair's cushion and saw a mouse nest yesterday. I swear I just flipped this over the other day and it was bare.

The mouse ran, into the outlet on my deck's wall! It left one baby behind and apparently was having babies at the exact time I found her.

I threw 4 of the 1 minute old babies into the pond, and one immediately tried to swim (that was a sad sight). The 5th one, the mom came back for her. I was surprised at her will but that is a mom I guess.

The traps a neighbor gave me, didn't work at all. I used (I am absolutely going ot hell fo rthis), the 5th baby in one of her traps, and peanut butter in the other trap. I tested the trap and they worked (almost broke my finger off). She successfully rescued her baby and took the peanut butter without setting off either trap.

She's not a heavyweight mouse. I bought a catch and release from amazon that will come Tuesday, I'm thinking she's not even heavy enough to set that one off. My friend said to just keep feeding her peanut butter and eventually she will set the fulcrum off lol.

I thought was weird that I'm trying to kill an outdoor mouse, but I don't want to be sitting on the deck and a mouse is crawling up my ass or on the floor next to me as I lay there - and it's quick ot have an infestation (5-7 babies per litter and impregnated immediately after so every 25 days a new litter).

Don't feel bad. I flipped a house a couple of years ago and the damn rats caused me over $5K. There was a walk-in crawlspace that they had gotten into after I bought the house. With in days I notice the stench of urine. I started looking and found they had tunneled into insulation under floorboards (ceiling of the crawlspace). I pulled all the insulation down and probably cornered about 15 rats. I went nuts with a flat shovel, just braining them...
