mouse in my livingroom

[delightone]

Last night i was watching some tv, and see something move in the corner of my eye.
Looked at it and saw nothing, i continue my bootleg movie and i look at the corner again and see a fucking mouse running towards my tv cabinet, i tried to catch that fucker but he was too fast so i went to sleep.

I bought some mouse traps today and put some peanutbutter in it, i got like 4 small ones and a big ass trap that could catch a fucking rat.
This motherfucker ate from one of those traps without it going off.

Anyone got some tips on how to catch this thing, the mouse probably came in a few day ago when i left my door to the garden open at night and forgot about it.

Bread and comet or Ajax should do the trick

don't want that fucker to die, in some little dark place and stink and rott away.

I just bought some glue traps online probably better with a toddler walking around, i have declared war no tresspassing in my livingroom, my wife is taking the drama route and won't sit in our livingroom untill i get this little bastard.

Easiest and cleanest solution.

An easy cheap dare I say fun way (sorry @girlandcoconut ) is to get a 5 gallon pale and fill it 3/4 with water, or solvent/gas depending how sick you are. Run a tight (not too tight) string across the diameter of it with a treat in the middle like cheese or pb ran through the string. Make the top of the bucket accessible with a little ramp complete with grip tape and a mini hand rail so he doesn't risk getting hurt before his timely death. The mouse should/will make an effort to do the tight rope walk for his snack and more than likely fall into the water or whatever liquid have chose to use to drown the leathal creature in.

That or check in on your insurance policy as far "accidental" fire and burn your place to the ground

We had a mouse problem in our office.

Management set some glue traps on a Friday evening.

Monday morning comes around and there are three mice stuck in the glue trap.

Not dead mind you, writhing around stuck to the trap smeared with glue and their own piss and shit. Proper horrible.

Man you guys are mean. Crazy how humans are with animals. I hope one day the animals of the world attack and kill everyone including me even though I love animals more than people but they don't know that lol maybe I can show them haha

Get a cat

You rescue a cat from a shelter
Car gets to exercise it's primal urges hunting mouse
Mouse gets eatten
Cat gets fed
You get rid of mouse.
Everyone wins with this. I think even @girlandcoconut can get on board with this plan.

 

[Bluesville]

What happens when the cat goes rogue?

It's a can of worms.

 

[ShatsBassoon]

Use chunky peanut butter and try to get one of the nut chunks right into the groove on the trap release. Mice are fairly good at licking food without setting off the trap.

Don't kill it

Mice and rats carry disease. Lots of disease. They breed like crazy and are under no threat whatsoever even with societal encroachment.
NOW, where we agree is do it fast, do it clean and painless.


Now OP....
Your options are:

Or

The victor is the best price, but Tomcat really did build a better mouse trap. It's easy to load and reload.
Peanut butter is the right answer.

But where and how are you positioning the trap?
You need to 'T' against a wall it will be running along. Otherwise they are good at getting the bait and going.

Also agree you do NOT want a bait trap in our house.

You need to go looking for ways he got in and nests. Then when he is dead you need to bleach everything as they pee as they walk to leave scent trails all over. That pee and poop can carry hantavirus, lepto, etc.

Good luck

I just bought some glue traps online probably better with a toddler walking around,

These are the worst! don't do it man
1> inhumane. They will rip their skin and feet off tring to get off. They will chew their own limbs off and be a gross sad mess
2> You find the mouse, its now still alive waiting to dehydate to death. What now? You want to smash this thing yourself? It isn't as easy as you might think.

With the kid, get the electric box one linked above

Traitor. When we win the animal wars, and we will win, you will be among the first taken outback and executed.

Unless you're a vegan.....right? I love animals but fact is we are at the top of the food chain. Mice are filthy creature's that can carry horrible diseases that could hospitalize my young kids and some adults as well.

If I see one in my house I'm not panicking at all but sure as fuck I'm getting it out asap. If death is the solution that works then so be it. And no need to wish animals coming to get us cause if we get into their home trust me you're going to get attacked. Go fuck with a birds nest and prepare for the wrath of a 10 oz winged devil trying to peck your eyes out. Any time an animal is thinking you're potential danger its not gonna ask its friends the best way to shoo you out and hope for the best, its gonna go into kill mode and chances are your gonna get fucked up. Out of all the replies I'm going with cat. Maybe you can PM the kitty and plea your case before it tracks it down, claws it apart then sinks its sharp ass teeth into it and gives it to @delightone as a token of its love.


BOOM! lol....

Sorry man no offense.

 

[SNIDELY WHIPLASH]

I'm going to post this again so you understand. Nothing else comes close. Everything else is a fucking mess.

They get electrocuted, a red light flashes on top showing the trap has a dead mouse in it, you pour the mouse in a bag and throw it the fuck out. Put it up against a wall because mice generally travel in straight lines.

PS: You put pet food or similar in the back of the trap, that's how they are attracted. You can use peanut butter but it would have to be inside something that won't spill.

Lol holy shit that looks painful. Any girl ever tries that on me, she's packing her bags immediately after

Guys it's a mouse... In summer... It's very unlikely to be breeding in your house, at this time of year I'm amazed it's inside. Get one of these and hey presto you've got a pet, or you can let it outside.

Go look up the diseases carried by mice and try remember the last time someone you know died of plague, or typhus...

Are they new titties, or the same titties?

I just got rid of a mouse in my garage. Didnt want to kill the lil guy and my tree hugging hippy 9 yeard old daughter absolutly wouldnt have allowed it to be killed. So we went to home dept In search of some sort of device to catch and keep this thing alive. I think it was 4 bucks. Mouse walks in all the way to the bait, then his weight tips the trap up and a door closes. So we set the trap with peanut butter in it and when we woke up the next day the damn mouse was in it. I couldnt believe it worked that easy. So I waited for my daughter to go to school and then stepped on it. Im kidding im kidding. We drove to the river to release the lil guy. No more mice.

That's pretty downplaying the issue.
Rodents act as vectors for ticks which carry a lot of relatively common diseases.
Salmonella is a common and while unlikely to be an issue for a healthy adult, is a real danger for pets and kids
I've seen tularemia from rodent exposure.

Get those shits out f your house and do NOT make it a pet

Ok I was joking about the pet thing. Ticks though? You're more likely to pick them up from your lawn.. Yes get rid of it, no don't worry about diseases. I'd be willing to bet the tularemia wasn't picked up in the home..
