Some sort of hell-rodent.

You have multiple mice?

You have a colony of mice. They're in your walls, basement/attic/whatever. Some come out, nibble on poison, bring some back to colony, repeat. Eventually they'll die where you can't find them, and they'll stink.

This is why smart people don't use poison.

We don't have a basement, we live in a stilt-housed ourdoorsy Australian tropics house. If they live in the space under the house, the neighbourhood cats would get at them. The Attic is easy access, so we can find them in there, and most of the walls are solid.

And it's not likely we have multiple mice, as the the mouse only shows up in one place, and only comes out once each night, about 12:30ish. I go out for a drink at 12, food is alll there. I go back around 1, food is all gone.

You live in Australia? Well there's your problem.

You're killing a hungry tramp.

Trust me, there's more than one. God, the more you fucking post, the more I realize what a stupid little fucking cunt you are.

The fact that the 'neighborhood cats' haven't picked off the mice proves what kind of infestation you probably have. Inside your house. Do the cats run around inside your house? Your walls? Just because you THINK the walls are solid, does not mean that they are. I'd be curious to know how you ran wiring and plumbing through solid walls. Also, google mice. Learn about them. Rodents in general.

They do neat things with rib cage compression and small spaces.

God damn.

If you want to prove me wrong, buy a trap, and leave it out. After you catch said mouse, buy another, and leave it out the following night. See what you get.

we got this at the farm a lot, obviously. DI's right, where there's one, they'll be a fucking load more. we used to find them floating in water troughs and about ten stuck in feed bins, etc. once you get them, they breed, then you're fucked unless you sort it.

also, rodents can actually become immune to poison. not so much mice, but rats can. if you use the same poison repeatedly, they will more than likely become immune to that specific one. then you have to swap poisons, so its best not to use poison.

to be honest, we never really ever got rid of them, so i dunno what to suggest, other than avoid poison.

GAS THE FUCKERS

There used to be a family of mice under our garden shed. I think our cat ended up killing them all though, every so often we'd see a mouse head or tail lying around, plus he brought one into the house once and it got behind some cabinets which took all fucking day to clear out.

Move house.

I used to catch the mice in our house and make examples of them...now we have no more infestations.

Multiple mice sounds more likely but I like the theory that it's just the one mouse, but it's stuck in a time loop, a little like Groundhog Day.... but for mice.

The fact that the mouse repeatedly ate the poison shows it's getting desperate. You must teach it to be optimistic about life and be more honest with itself and others to end the cycle.

I like the theory that this one mouse is immune to poison.

i like the theory where the mouse dies.

I like the theory where ghost eats the poison and stops posting.

Theory. Fantasy. Meh.

So guess what we found this morning?

One (1) large dead mouse in the open.

Poison hasn't been touched.

=3 guess he couldn't handle it.

its unusual for 1 mouse, no matter how large, to become immune to poison so quickly, and then suddenly die. honestly, there will be more.

i'm not shit-stirring, i'm saying watch yer cheese.

Maybe he was just a tough fucker.

fuck. i have that book. used to collect them.

Why you stop-stop, man-thing? *Squeak*

FURRY

I've got to say though, Warhammer got crushing irony just right with the Skaven. Humans with the strengths of an animal are always portrayed as mighty, or even heroic; the fury of the Minotaur, angels with feathered wings of birds, mythical and wise centaurs. Then they take a bloke, expose him to magical radiation and splice him with a fucking RAT. All man's fears of animalistic inner nature and loss of humanity are embodied in that putrid race of verminfolk, yet their society is still strong enough to give us a right kicking on the battlefield.

i fucking love Skaven. i've never played a game, i just collected them. i didn't paint them either, 'cause i'm shit at that and they'd just end up ruined. i just did it to get high on the glue.

the book is incredibly interesting. ask me anything about dairy farming and Skaven. last i heard, which was over 4 years ago, they were gonna try and incorporate Skaven with Warhammer 40k via some gate/portal they'd managed to create or something. i think the reasoning behind it was along the lines of 'its not fair that such an advanced race totally disappears by the time 40k comes along'.

that's all i know about it, you'd probably have a better idea on whether they've furthered it or not.

WH/40K crossovers have never met much success. By the way, who's your avatar guy? It looks like Karl Marx is having a really bad day.

i haven't got a clue, the original name was deleted when i saved the picture. its a shame the details aren't showing on it, though.

would you like another cup of tea?

Thanks luv, I'm parched.
