There's a mouse in my apartment

[mike311gd]

I've got this mouse running around my place, and the ****er hadn't really gotten in my way, so I didn't pay it much mind. Being busy and out of the house so often, I didn't really care to do anything. However, that ******* made his way up to my counter and shocked the **** out of me.

He must go.

Is there any way to remove the rodent without killing it -- or spending much money?


Thanks.

No.

And trust me on this - he/she ain't alone.

 

[imjustagirl2]

Move.

Those things freak me out.

 

[lono]

Rat poison under the kitchen sink.

 

[sportschick]

Get a cat.

You have to kill it.

Do not get the sticky pads unless you want to hear it's squeaking, dieing gasps in the middle of the night.

Put peanut butter on the old fashioned trap and crack it's freaking neck. They cannot pick up PB like they do cheese.

Play this song and maybe the mouse will start to feel irie and dance out of his hole into a net so you can release him into freedom, mon.

Actually, I discovered a great mouse trap at Lowe's that costs about $5. It's basically a tube that you bait at one end (with peanut butter or whatever). The lid to the other end springs shut when the mouse walks in after the bait. You're supposed to release it a mile or so from your house after catching it, which led to a funny situation when Mrs. PaWriter demanded that I escort a particularly pesky mouse from our kitchen at 3 in the morning (during a very good "Sopranos" re-run on A&E, no less). Annoying, but effective; he never came back.

And let me echo the overall gross factor of glue traps. I caught a mouse in one in my old apartment (honestly, I don't live in a sqallid, mouse-infested hole) and, when my wife prevailed on my guilt, had to try and release it. I doused the trap in Crisco, and managed to free the mouse -- minus one of its legs. Gives me the willies just thinking about it.

Does this make me the board expert in mouse extermination?

You're hired!

Use a glue trap, but unleash him with olive or vegetable oil. He doesn't belong in your house, but he doesn't deserve to have his neck broken, either.

 

[TyWebb]

Plastic explosives shaped like other rodents.

 

[Moderator1]

Yeah he does. He's vermin.

 

[Chi City 81]

Yeah he does. He's vermin.

No one's ever broken your neck. Yet.

 

[blueview]

D-Con. Which is actually capsules of blood thinner, lethal to rodents.

How's Stan at mousehunting?

I put some of those pellet bags all around my garage. A few of them are ripped open and I thrill at the thought of Pixie and Dixie staggering around under my house looking for water and croaking. Keeps the little bastards from chewing up my wires and doing other vermin ****.

I'm an animal lover but you can have your mice, rats and other assorted vermin.

Snakes, too.

I think I'd rather have a mouse.

Thanks, people.
