It gets them to stop squeaking

Feeding a mouse WD-40 will make it stop squeaking. Permanently.

Sam Onella already had a solution for this is called mouse traps with guns

If you give rodents WD-40 they can lube up your machinery as they scurry around.

Agreed it's very cruel.

Despite the promises of the strange Advertisement, it just made the mice stronger. They were now even harder to catch and could now fit even better through holes. Humanity was fooled once again.

Is WD-40 toxic to snakes? I'm either having a very bad or a very hilarious idea right now

Nooo don't do that to the poor mouse, it's so cruel 😭

oh will it actually hurt them? i thought you'd just get a slippery mouse

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It's toxic so if they ingest it or breath in the fumes it can hurt them.
