Thanks for all the really good advice guys. I went ahead and set another trap before bed last night. This morning there was a dead mouse in it. However, I still haven't found the original trap. I'm going to take a bunch of stuff out of the closet today and see if I can find the sucker. I know originally we were all worried that I was in danger of the angry mouse family, BUT... What if I am the monster they tell they're children about? What if I....am (mouse) legend?

Big enough rat can just walk off with trap attached. Probably dying a horrible, drawn out and agonising rat death in your walls. In other words, you're a monster, OP.

Aardvark! posted:I'd like to hear more about the rat infested office and old lady It was in the north, we weren't sleeping very well because we'd have weeks of day then weeks of night. Sometimes there'd be a bear alarm and you'd have to hide in a truck or nearby trailer (office), but it would usually be a moose wandering through the camp. My office buddy was this fearless but absolutely insane old Chinese woman who didn't seem to believe in bears. You'd talk about bear safety and she'd just laugh at the idea of being worried about an adorable bear. She would say Chinese people aren't afraid of bears. "If I see one I'll give him a hug." We were all worried she was going to be killed and eaten by bears because she was honestly pretty reckless so when the alarm went off everyone would start desperately searching for her. One time we couldn't find her and they had a helicopter looking (I was told this, didn't see it, but there was a search party for her at least) for her but she was just asleep on the shitter for like the entire day but no one knew because she had her feet up on the TP dispenser so she could nap in peace. They were company moccasins to keep the floor clean and not walk around in your boots, I preferred them to the boot covers. There were a lot of deer mice.

A few years ago had a mouse die in the guts of our dryer. I had to take the machine outside and remove the steel cowling to get that little rotten sucker out.

Applewhite posted:Obviously kill the firstborn mouse children of every mouse family in your house. That's how you end up with "I'm the seventh mouse of a seventh mouse" scenario... The solution, you fools, is to befriend a cruel, one-eyed rat with a accent, possibly french? He will be your right-hand rat. He will be your first line, your last line, your ONLY line of protection.

Mice are actually very christ-like, this is helped by their naturally humble nature. In the Bible God sends 42 mice to devour a child who called a priest "wicked dumb". For their bravery God gave the mice lil'whiskers which they still have to this very day.

Unfortunately every winter we get a few mice that invade our kitchen and both my wife and I are little tiny babies when it comes to setting the traditional traps because we're convinced we'll lose a finger or some poo poo, idk. Anyway this year I bought a 10 pack of this kind:  ...loving owns. SO easy to bait and set. If you need 'em, just get these. They work great, we caught 2 meeces easily and no more issues this year.

Some night you're gonna wake up and stagger to the bathroom, not turning on the light because you don't want to wake yourself up too much. You'll sit down on the toilet, and then you'll find out exactly what that mouse did with the trap. Mice are vindictive, and they don't forget.

If it's any kind of sweet dessert moose I can help, but not if it's like a salmon moose.

I still haven't found the mouse, or the trap. I'm going to have to remove everything from the utility closet I guess. In addition to mouse trouble, I had two birds fly down my chimney into my wood burning stove which stirred up a bunch of ashes so that was great. The birds are fine, I grabbed them and put them back outside. I'll now have to climb up on the roof and see what happened to the screen on my chimney.

FOUND IT! I emptied out the entire closet and found the empty trap under a shelf. No blood, no mouse parts. The bastard escaped.

I carry a roll of twist tie material and attach every rat trap I set to either beams in the attic or a table leg or something to avoid the rat dragging the trap someplace inaccessible and stinking for three weeks. With T Rex traps you rarely don’t get a clean kill but better safe than sorry.

With T Rex traps you rarely don’t get a clean kill but better safe than sorry. That's a good idea. I use those victor traps and it's usually a mouse slaughter when winter comes around. They've got a metal loop on one end so I'll start tying them.

Yeah, always anchor your traps somehow. I have a some old iron railroad spikes that are probably half a pound each. Use a bit of wire to attach them to the trap. Not pounded into the deck or anything, just some dead weight to add to the trap. Those little buggers do not get to run off.
