Because being eaten by an owl is more humane than
being put to sleep... |
|
| |
Yes but then what do you have for dinner? |
|
| |
They got these. The gasses are produced by the mouse. Otherwise works just the same. |
|
| |
So, post “Game Show Mouse Trap”. |

/Giving the mouse a fighting chance/ |
|
| |
It has a chance with this scheme. It has to chew an air hole before the gases overcome it. |

Would you like to buy one of BorgCo's latest lines, the Mouse Arena ? A perfect model of the Circus Maximus, crafted in genuine synthetic plastic effect. Comes complete with mouse-sized nets, tridents, helmets, swords and shields, plus a bag of sand for the arena floor to stop the blood soaking through.
Buy it with the BorgCo "Emperor Nero" Deranged Psychotic Inbred Ruler outfit (Includes toga, gilded laurel wreath, and a signed certificate guaranteeing deification after death) and get FREE postage and packing ! |

What have you people (and you too, [8th]) got
against mice? |
|
| |
This idea is baked, loosely speaking, at the Valley of
Death, in Kamchatka. |
|
| |
What's needed, clearly, is a Shröedinger mouse trap,
where one could dispose of it, not really knowing
whether the mouse is dead or alive. |
|
| |
Teleportation is clearly the answer here. |

//What have you people got against mice?//
For one thing is that they poop everywhere around the house or building they are in. Maybe you could teach them to use the toilet, so we wouldn't want to kill them so much![mouseposture] Besides that, they scare old ladies when they run across the kitchen floor at night! They chew holes in the wood to make doorways for themselves into the structure of your house and rip up the insulation in there to make nests...basically- they are like univited house-guests! |
|

Conventional mouse traps trap the mouse by sandwiching the body between a lever arm and a platform. A similar device called a mouse liberator does the opposite by catapulting the mouse instead, using virtually the same mechanism. Simply aim through an open window or against a wall for varying effects. |
|

Coyotes are canids, not rodents. |
|
| |
Now... assuming that the proposed gasses are odorless, will they still be able to transport the smell of the bait outside of the tube in a recognizable way? Methinks that the inert gas might prevent any decomposition, which might put an end to the production of aromatic scents from the bait. |
|
| |
[ye_river_xiv] No worries, just use pre-decomposed
bait. Like Stilton. |
|
| |
Also: plenty of bacteria are anaerobic. Inert gas
won't retard growth of the
organisms that cause botulism, tetanus, and
gangrene. A fine revenge for the hapless rodent. |
|
| |
You mean, "A fine revenge on the hapless rodent.", shirley ? |
|
| |
Well, I was picturing a tetanus- and botulinum-toxin
laden cadaver, swollen with gas gangrene, bursting
like a bomb in your* face, as you're emptying the
trap. |
|

*nothing personal, just a grammatical convention. |
