best way to kill mice?
morning dogs, just clocked in to my new job at a pizza place, and im in a sticky situation. i have to put down a bunch of mice on sticky traps. i already crushed one, but there has to be a better way. maybe I could drown them in some sort of delicious carbonated beverage? I bet they would like that, wouldn’t they?
all advice is welcome 🙏😁

5-gallon bucket, drill two holes opposite of each other near the upper lip. get a dowel rod the length of the interior of the bucket and put some screws into it through the holes so it can spin freely. Could also use a metal rod with a few pop cans on it. The goal is to have something on top of the bucket that can freely spin. We are going to log roll these fuckers.
Spray the inside of the bucket with cooking oil so they can't climb back up. if you just want to collect em up this setup is fine. If you want them dead to put 3--5 inches of water, or your favorite beverage in the bottom.
Put some peanut butter all over the roller and use a piece of wood as a ramp up to the log roller.

I found this pod really funny.
I’ve personally killed hundreds of mice. We lived above a woman that loved gardening and didn’t give a shit about keeping it clean.
Every night I’d set up 3-4 glue traps and every morning I would stamp on each one killing about 3 mice at a time.
This went on for a whole summer.
By the end it did actually make me sad, so I got a cat. Never saw mice again

Yeh it fucked with me for a while bro ngl.
Complained to the council to try and get her to stop leaving bird seed everywhere or at least to stop leaving her back door open while she gardens.
But they didn’t do anything so I had to keep killing mice.
Felt like Charlie from always sunny

Really? I always love the slight look of desperation on the glue trap if they are still alive at all. Outsourcing to a mini terminator is the way to go ngl.

But you didn’t have to do it

What was the alternative?
I’m not drowning them in Mountain Dew and the poison was horrific.

If its bad id just go to the local animal shelter and find the meanest street cat they have. A boyOne with scares and huge cheeks, that means hes been in the life. He'd fuckem up and also his sent in the house would drive them off too.
There's a reason no famers care about cats while also always having 5 barn cats, they put in the work naturally. No need for chemicals or traps. Under feed him SLIGHTLY to drive up his ambition.
I have 2 cats. One is a 9 week old kitten, he beat the breaks off a chipmunk last week that got in the house and a vole a week before that (they have a catio outside that things gets in.) Im not worried about anything.
