Use a mousetrap baited with either peanut butter or bacon.

What if we don't have a mousetrap handy at the moment?

 

I seriously don't know how it got into the house - unless it came up the vent.

To hell with people who give you suggestions that don't involve killing it. So it's a "defenseless" animal, big deal? Is that your problem? No. Go out to a hardware store in the morning and get one of those new traps that snap shut and can be reused. They're a lot easier than the classic kind and almost impossible to get your finger caught in. If you don't want to kill the thing and it's not that big, they sell glue traps that'll just trap it on there. Of course, that means you're going to have to pick the damn thing up with a live mouse attached, which is why I opt for the snap traps.

 

Honestly, I don't like strange people in my house, why would I want a possibly diseased vermin in here? Regardless of how it got in there, you want to get it out before it starts reproducing. Could be a long winter if it gets that far. Believe me.

Wait for it to poke it's little head out and step on it. There won't be that much blood.

At my last apartment, my roommate's cats handled the one mouse that somehow managed to get in. We just watched and laughed.

 

My advice: get a cat. If you can, borrow one to deal with this. Or stop being a skinflint and buy a good mousetrap.

My cat, Benny the Tooth, would fit it for cement shoes. Just bust it with a tennis racket or a boot or something. Do you have it cornered or is it in the walls? I'm good with varmints. If it's crafty, I can recommend some toxins you have in your house already.

My girlfriend had a mouse problem. She got those sonic things that send out some sound wave that kills the mouse. Seems to work and she hasn't had a problem since. Had to move her gerbil out of the house for a while though.

I think it's gone now.

 

BTW, am I the only one here that hasn't seen Mouse Hunt?

I haven't.

 

Usually if there is something in the house that will eat it (cats, snakes, large birds), they won't stick around long unless they are desperate for food. On the downside, if you have neighbours with those things and you don't, expect to have a mouse congregation in your house every so often.

One of my cats was under the bed today, but it ran out when I came into my room.

 

A few years ago, we had a rat come in from under the floor and steal a dogbone. My dad saw the dog bone being dragged underneath.

 

It finally ate some poison we put out for it, and whe nwe saw it crawling to it's death, it was fat.

 

Since then we've only had one mouse and that was two years ago.
