All the bullsnakes living in my dad's yard did (and still do) a great job of keeping mice at bay. Those packrats eating a family of quail and taking over the nest in a cactus, then tearing the cactus into caltrops and trapping a whole 5'x5'2 section of the yard, though; that's when the snakes know they're outmatched and it's time to start rat trapping.

Thank you for reminding me I gotta go put some traps out tonight cuz lady bagmo saw a rat the other night

they aren't terribly active around here because a lot of my neighbors trap and have dogs and we have a few real tough neighborhood cats and also a few badass possums

I recommend a drowning bucket trap, it doesn't have a chance of maiming or letting mice learn how the traps work

one of the tricks I learned dealing with critters out on an acre at the base of a mountain is that the bait needs a strong scent to cover the fact that a human has been handling the poo poo out of the trap.
An exterminator told me, and I have used to great benefit, peanut butter mixed with vanilla extract.

Oh I shoved half a fig bar in there.

The traps I got have this space for food. So I broke a fig bar in half and put that in the traps.

If I don't catch it after a few days I'll try peanut butter and vanilla extract.

Peanut butter with vanilla extract caught me more rats than anything I'd ever used before, it was like a fuckin magic trick.

I had not considered that the mouse was in charge of our capitalistic society. So if it is in fact in charge then yes I have been trapped by capitalism.

Anyway the wife and I got sushi for dinner and I popped by McDonalds to get something for the kid. I had pre-ordered in the app (and paid) but when I got to the McDonald’s the app poo poo the bed and suddenly there was no record of my order either in the app or at the store so I had to reorder there at the drive through so it just cost me $18 for nuggies and fries.

Goddamn grocery store said they were shopping for my groceries 2 hours ago. Yet i wanted them delivered at 6. I don't want my groceries just hanging out at the grocery store for 2 hours getting warm. This is bullshit.
