[MBZ] Disney it ain't
Arrrghhh! Sitting in the Frankenheap (72 200D) I looked up and found a huge hole in the headliner, right over the visor. Mice. Wretched little brds, I need to put out more poison I guess. That headliner was in nearly perfect shape before this. The interior was the only halfway decent thing about the car. (That and it runs so well.) -- Jim

A bar in the trunk, a bar under the hood near the fusebox, and a bar in the driver's footwell does wonders, and they don't just carry it off and hide it like they do with the blue D-Con pellets. I forget the brand, but a brick had about eight bars in it, maybe 1x3 each, too heavy for a mouse to move, so they have to eat it on the spot.

I thought that stuff worked because a mouse / rat has no ability to regurgitate. Other animals / humans who get into rat poison get rid of it in that fashion. That used to be the case [and ditto with dead mouse remains and other pets.] Not positive that continues to be the case.

Re: [MBZ] Disney it ain't
I hate using poison in the house because of mice loving to die in the walls or under the couch or some other extremely inconvienent place. A couple years ago we had a BAD infestation in my apartment building caused by some filthy folks downstairs, the kind who leave foot out everywhere. I had 4 traps going at once in the apartment until I managed to find and seal all the entries. Then I had like 10 going in the attic to decimate the population. Then I waged war against the filthy folks. Knocked on their door to show them every single mouse I caught. You are the reason we have mice, you need to clean up your apartment. When the left the mice continued for almost exactly one week and I haven't caught but maybe 2 more in the following 4 years. -Curt Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2006 00:48:28 -0500 From: Fmiser [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] Disney it ain't To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII rumor has it that Jim wrote: I have considered poison, our house had it when we moved in.
