Not that kind of Vole
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I don't know what kind of voles we have here as I do not care. What I detest is all of the curses that assault us from this blog, murdering our animals and destroying things, because all of you proper people think how saintly or liberal you are.
Last year, we had Goddamn Norwegian water rats that moved in. Scared the cat, and they would not eat poison. Took months to trap the damned things as I resorted to long spring traps to put the cure those bastards.
With that stated, we had peace around here, until I started noticing mouse sounds in things in the kitchen, so out came the new traps I had purchased last year for mice. See I picked up some old ones from the Thrift with the metal triggers which I like, because the Goddamn Norwegian water rat took off with my rat sized trap hauling it behind things I can't move and this year the first thing I caught, sure as hell, it was the metal trigger and it was the one which disapeared.
My first thought was we had a Goddamn Norwegian water rat again, but then the thing I caught was what I recognized in a vole, completely different animal.
See rats are rat bastards in they kill other things and eat and homo sex each other. Then comes the Deer Mouse, a very large creature, quite clean, except in their piss stink nests of little ones........I know as I put the death grip on one in the house here with a long spring trap.
Then comes the European mouse, a dirty, stinky, flithy, shitty creature, which for the most part just eats food and looks timid.
The vole though is a different critter altogether as it is like the shrew, in they are battling, tough mean killers.
I first came across voles in a drought year, where we had millions of them, eating tumble weed seeds. Lots of burrowing owls at them too, but their tunnels were all over the place. Voles are the bastards that usually saddle fruit trees and kill them.
So I re ascrtained the missing trap, as not rat related, nor did the vole get up and move, as the next day I had caught another one, and that damn trap was moving, because a vole was dragging the dead one back, that it was eating the liver out of.
Yes it ate the side out of the vole and was having a feast.
I stopped that bullshit cannibalism as I'm a Christian female, and did the proper thing in I took the dead out, put it under the long spring jaw and used it as bait.
Next morning, the body was moved, but there as a dead vole in the long spring.
These are mean little sons of bitches. Outside they fight back and bite cats. They have their God created purpose as food for predators, and I like they eat weed seeds in drought, but inside the house they are just mean little bastards.
TL when we were in the metro had a mouse, It probably was a vole, that TL called Mousey. Used to feed it almonds under the oven. It was a pleasant chap, behaved, never got into things, just scurried around and went off and died after 9 months or moved back outside, quite civilized.
With this curse the world is under for rejecting God though, damnation, there is not just one, but a whole Goddamn border busting tribe moves in, and then they are eating each other.
The mother used to use peanut butter.......yeah that is not the cure. What rodents go for is cheese. On the long spring I use a paper clip to keep it on the pan and that works nice. If you smoosh the cheese into the pan of mouse traps it works out pretty good, as it hardens, stays on their for months and the vermin come to nibble and catch themselves dead.
I think we may have a vole or two around here yet. They sort of disappeared after I got the last cannibal. Pisses me off in all of you sinning, as it made more work for me, and I reject that in Christ. I have to move the flour and a bunch of chit to search for my original mouse trap. Probably find the original unless the rat went the opposite direction.
That is the story of the vole, the vermin. I don't mind one around if it behaves, but the neighbor trained his woodchucks to dig under the foundation, and then sent them over here and I was killing them Goddamn things off of evil projections a few years ago too, along with skunks. I mean I really loathe you sinful people and God has been too kind in not reeking Judgment on the lot of you.
Time to check traps.
Nuff Said
