Just found a mouse in my house

[mitchedwards]

i'm terrified of mice

Mice don't bother me, but I set a new land speed record when I came nose to nose to a rat under my parents house.

If you use the plastic humane trap, place the peanut butter on a small cracker way in the back and place it along a wall near the stove or wherever it ran. Mice tend to scurry across baseboards and chances are that mouse isn't coming out with Wally around. Take the cat out of the room for the evening and you will probably have him tomorrow.

Not trying to sound like a jerk, but this was nowhere near as good as my monkey story.

Our cats are getting fat,old and lazy. Last winter we were inundated with mice. Yes Mice love chewing cardboard, watch your comics and mocs!!!

Traps don't work for the most part. I've seen the little buggers jump over them.

3 in a row along the baseboard where you've observed them traveling works very well in my opinion.

You don't have just one mouse- bank on it. We had a nasty mouse problem and like everyone else we started with the humane route, and it was completely ineffective. Glue traps all along their pathways and travel routes was the only thing that ended up working for us.

Yes, the glue traps work pretty darn wll, as much as I hate them. I just had to dispose of one today at work.

Never tried three. I've tried two and the little buggers run up the side of the baseboard. Almost looks like they're running up the side of the wall.

We just caught the little bugger and drove him a few miles away. The cats chased him for a while, but seemed to lose interest. Raven even caught him in her mouth, but dropped him. He ran off after being stunned for a minute. I didn't want to come home to everything chewed apart, so I wouldn't give up until he was gone. So after several tries, Nate chased him toward me with a yardstick and I trapped him with a container. Now he's in his new home, and hopefully won't come back.

I set traps baited with peanut butter under my kitchen sink and I nail at least 3 every 2 weeks. I dont mind the killing of them , because I know there are 32 million waiting to take their place.

I cant believe your cat didnt get it---my cat when I first got it, spent weeks stalking them--a different house which had a bad infestatation--I lifted furniture and pulled everything out of the way for him, he was very patient watching for them.

This is the one that worked for me:

Amazon.com: Mice Cube 3-pk Humane Mouse Trap - The Only Mousetrap You Garden

I got it from a co-worker that bought it at Walmart. I put a piece of a ladyfinger cookie at the other end and the next morning I had me a little field mouse in the trap. I recommend the "Mouse Re-Location" program for the little bugger...or else you'll find him back in your house. For 17 years I never had a problem with a mouse in my house...until I had to put down my cat Psycho (He was the outdoor cat in the house) After he was gone it was party time for the mice in my neighborhood. The have a heart traps work...you just got to relocate the little bastiches.

get a have a heart trap,they can get one after another,and then you can let them loose somewhere,or keep them in a tank so your cat can enjoy them.those traps work very good ,highly recommened
