Got a mouse in the house.

[Colin_T]

This is not a Dr Seuss rhyme. I actually have a rodent in my house and need it gone. And ideas?

I would prefer to get it out alive rather than kill it. I have a soft spot for the little buggers because I used to keep them as pets.

Make a trap with a box, a stick, and a string...

Here are some no-kill, DIY solutions: https://macgyverisms.wonderhowto.co...ke-simple-no-kill-trap-for-mice-rats-0147621/

I use glue traps/poison traps, but we don’t really have a soft spot for them. They are super annoying, because they run around in the walls/attic when we are trying to sleep.

 

[Slaphppy7]

I hate those glue traps.

I hate those glue traps.

Why is that?

 

[Slaphppy7]

They are inhumane.
IMO.

They effective. I also don’t just leave them there to starve. I put them in the freezer to die painlessly.

Not meaning to sound like I hate mice, don’t get me wrong, they are cute. But if it’s a choice between me getting sleep at night and them, I’m going with my sleep...

Put on a bucket with a wood stick and a cheese on the edge of the wooden stick inside the bucket so that the mouse will trap itself inside the bucket. Ive done that before and it works

That was one of the first things in the link I posted - very smart! ?

Create an ecosystem. A cat to catch and eat the mouse and then you eat the cat. Its a win win

Not sure if freezing them to death is painless lol

Yh, freezing living organisms to death is very painful. The mouse is going to suffer a lot. Just catch it and set it free. Its not that hard.

 

[PheonixKingZ]

Not sure if breaking their necks would be any better??

Watch the movie Godzilla [1998] with Matthew Broderick. Draw it out by feeding it, and when it shows up to eat the food, tell the military to open fire on it. But as it also shows in the movie where there is one, there are many, so then you have to call in a military jet to blow up your house to save the world from extinction by being overrun by the little rodents. lol......

Or you can use this link but follow the warning as copied below.
??? Do not play this sound in a room where you have pets. Although humans, can't here this sound, many animals like cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, etc, have a higher range of hearing and it will be distressing to them. Mouse ultrasonic repellent, emits a high frequency noise that mice and rats will run from. The ultrasound cannot penetrate walls. Therefore, play the deterrent in the room where infestation is the worst. Generally, it is the kitchen where mice find the easiest access into your home, and make their nest in.

Good luck....

The little feller in my avatar was asking if his pet passport was still valid this morning. Now I know why.
