Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler What do mice eat ?

When I was going to university five of us were renting a slummy row house just south of Maple Leaf Gardens. The previous owner had moved the kitchen down to the basement.

The house had rodent problems (at parties we would sing "We all live in a mouse infested house..." to the tune of "Yellow Submarine") and every morning we would sit around the kitchen table with an air pistol and take turns shooting the mice as they ran across the shelves at the end of the kitchen. Great fun.

I figure I'll switch to killing traps once it gets too cold for them to learn about burrowing and survival skills out in the wild. The mouse density is too low and I have too little time to shoot 'em.
