There IS a better mouse trap! It’s the Ortho Defense Max.

You add the bait to a little door and close it. Pulling down a lever sets the trap and look at how inviting this new mouse trap is. Cozy! The mouse has to get all the way inside to dine on de-luscious Jif.

I was skeptical, but this trap is working! The other cranium crusher style trap wasn’t. What I like about this trap is the fact that when it snaps shut it’s a complete whole body blow. And the mouse can’t escape, even if it’s not dead!
So far, I have killed four of the little critters and inadvertently released one back in to the wilds of our back yard.
We have mice that are sleeping with the fishes!

I set the traps last night and we went out to Anna’s for some greek food. Upon our return home, a trap check showed I had caught two.

I grabbed the first Ortho Defense Max trap and took it outside to dump in the trash bin, I had sneaked a peek and there was a critter inside. What I didn’t realize is, it wasn’t dead. I opened up the trap to dump it and that sumbitch flew to safety. I swear, it defied gravity!

Mensa mouse has now evolved to Maniac Mouse.

Now I open the trap and shake it violently shake it into the bird feeder. If the sumbitch tries to swim to escape the freezing water, I’ll go Elin Nordegren on it.

The trap that is getting the most action is near our information superhighway. I’m thinking I need to set a trap at the entrance to the information superhighway to protect my interest.
