Better super-mice than Ninja mice. My daughter has mice in her new house. (there is no such thing as having A mouse. There are no bachelor mice–all mice are married with large families to support.) Her mice are Ninja mice. She covered the entire counter with mice traps, then put a nice big blob of peanut butter in the middle. All traps were also baited with peanut butter. All the mice bait was gone; no traps triggered. This is going to get difficult.

I am happy to report that the super mice problem appears to be solved. My soul, however, remains permanently scarred.

I know from first hand experience that squirrels can smell grain in even the best sealing buckets like that, and they will eventually start chewing into them. I have to assume that rats can and will, too. Mice, not so much in my experience.

It’s best to put your munchies in a small or big METAL trash can. I had a squirrel chew right through the plastic like it was butter. He knowed a huge hole and helped himself to yummy chicken corn. Lesson learned.

Get an electricution trap from Victor. They work great. You just have to check them a few times a day. I had a pregnant mouse come in when we were remodeling and didn’t know until she had several litters. They started avoiding the glue and snap traps. Got the zap trap and caught 18 in three weeks.

Go to the pound and adopt the meanest cat they have. It’s the surest and most natural way to take care of the problem. I also think it is the safest (no worries about pets or children getting into the poison) and most humane way to deal with it. Death by poison is a horrible way to go and I don’t wish it even on mice. Every farm, no matter how small, needs at least one cat to deal with the mice that will surely find your grain if given the chance.

Good luck!

You poor thing… I HATE mice. My parents moved into a new house in the country this summer, and you should have seen the look on my mother’s face when I told her I found mouse poo in the pantry.

Oh Ivory, I know how you feel, we have had chipmunks, bears and weasel problems with our grain. The fish and wildlife people recommend mothballs to scare off the critters. The bears not only tore apart my grain grain bin, they killed most (and ate some) of my chickens, now the weasels are attacking the replacement chicks. So we are down to the rooster and 4 hens, and out of 26 we have only 8 baby chickens. It has been a bad year for chickens on Moose Hollow Farm. We keep our grain in metal trash cans inside a grain bin. My sweetie rebuilt the grain bin after the bear destroyed it now it’s not only bear proof, it’s Pinky proof, I can’t lift the lid he made it so heavy…oh well I guess he has to feed the pig not me!

Awww I love ra…..er….. super mice. Used to have 5 for pets. They are actually really cool animals, but I know a lot of people cant get beyond the scaly tails.

I do know they can be destructive so I hope you can find a new home for them, far away from your grains!
