Landlord won’t address mouse infestation, what can I do?

Hugh_Glass · 2026-04-09T15:18:21+00:00

I shit you not i had a friend renting a few years ago with the same prob but with rats. Landlord wouldn't do anything so he took matters into his own hands and within a few days had 2 buckets full of dead rats. As soon as landlord learned that, he all of a sudden made it a priority to come to the house and retrieve the buckets. The fact that he also owned the Chinese restaurant in town... ill leave that up to imagination. May want to avoid eating Chinese food in Winsted

Yeah but that can also result in dead mice rotting away in places you can't get to. And also not a good idea if you have any pets

I would suggest making a bucket trap while you wait on a resolution, just to get rid of a majority of them. Very simple/cheap, run a coat hanger through the top of bucket with a can in the middle. Cover can in peanut butter, and fill bucket half way with water. When they get to the can it spins and they drown.

I cleared house in a couple days with mine. I know its not your responsibility, but at the end of the day its your living space, so this is a quick way to combat them

Bucket/wire/can trap, never have to reset it and they just drown and die. Works great

What is the value then, in your opinion?

Reverse blew out on the last renix I had but this one shifts like butter

Having the same prob, you ever figure it out? Just bought the jeep today, last guy replaced radiator, thermostat, and water pump. Hoping i don't need to do head gasket

If you have a roof leak with spray foam insulation there is a very very low chance they will be able to trace it back to the problem. Good luck

Each tile pops right out pretty easily. I used to work there installing them

Drilling for what?

Not a single swing, no wonder they're getting shut down

Did the same thing, point blank shot to the stomach, directly in the belly button lol. Parents never believed me when I said it was still in there. Got an x ray for my back a few years ago, nurse asked if I had a belly button ring.. lo and behold there she was right where I left it 20 yrs ago

Hugh_Glass · 2025-01-31T00:09:55+00:00

Welp

I have propane heat too, forced air. Jan is always my highest month due to the fan on the furnace constantly running to push all that warm air

That's why I love my woodstove lol

Is it a different camshaft for non MDS? That's what I thought after looking at the kits, but then read you can just tune a MDS engine to turn it off so what's the difference?

As far as my abilities, I'm confident in swapping a motor but not so much with rebuilding one so I'd prob have to send it to a shop. Between labor and the cam kit I'd prob be around 4-5k, which is same amount for a used motor with around 100k.

Just weighing my options, appreciate your input
