Grab a broom and smash it.  Or swoop it outside.

I'm terrified of mice. How do I get rid of it?





I'm serious.

JenGin74

Is it a cute little brown one?

Don't kill it (they're cute). Catch it in a pot and put it outside.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Where is it?

zippityb

Humane trap plz.

JenGin74

Oh, but be careful on your approach because they can jump really far

kd.joseph

Well you can go to home depot and they have the traps that they get stuck inside and cant get out. You can try that, cause if you just put it out it'll come back in it's getting cold out.

Maybe have you DH look around and figure out where it got in so you can seal it up?

Don't be scared, it's just a little mouse! Now a rat, on the other hand....

Maybe get a broom and shoo him outside. Or trap him under something, like a box, and get him out that way. Clearly I in no way advocate killing him. Or her. It could be a Minnie.

Whatever you do, don't use those sticky traps. The mouse gets stuck and then you have to listen to it suffer. You're better off getting the standard mouse trap (use peanut butter instead of cheese as a lure). The death is quick and painless, and you can reuse them. If you see one, that probably means there's about 20 or so more that you don't see.

Or you could stand on a chair and scream "Get it! Get it!" at your FI like I do...

MarriedInAFever

It's behind my armoire in the living room. I saw it. It is real. If I just open the door, maybe it will go out. Or maybe it will bring more mice in. OMG.

betrothed123

I recommend standing on a table until your FI gets home.  It's the most effective approach.

You've got a colony of mice somewhere already, probably. Using your toothbrush and making long distance calls.

Go buy a Ratzapper.  WAYYYY better than regular traps.

MarriedInAFever

H doesn't get home until 10 p.m. This is bad.

kpwedkk

Make a path for it to get out of your home! I do AHHHHHHHH for crickets jumping around!

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Run out and get a trap MILF.  Use some peanut butter, a small marshmallow or something for bait.  I'll leave it up to you whether you want the snappy ones that kill the mice, or the humane ones. 

We had mice once in our old farmhouse and yeah, we did the traps around the house. 

I'd flip shiit if I had a mouse in my apartment.

Do you have a laptop?  You can sit on the table and wait.  The ladies here will keep you company.

Beyond that my only suggestion is to go buy some mouse traps.

Celles

Dude.  It's a mouse. 








They're super cute.  See?

MarriedInAFever

I'm on a laptop. The dog is going to flip shiit if he sees it. I'm going to go get some HUMANE traps and try to talk my brother into saving me.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Maybe the dog would eat it?

You should maybe call your brother to get the traps - that way you can keep your eye on the mouse if it moves somewhere else.

While also sewing your pretty princess ballgown and saving your pearls from the evil Lucifer.

Mice are cute put some food, ice cream or something, in a bowl in the middle of the room and see if he comes out to eat it

Be careful to not accidentally pick up the HUMAN traps. I had to learn my lesson the hard way....

MarriedInAFever

Shiit. I gotta get out of here!

We had an infestation of field mice in my house back when I was in middle school (we lived in an old farmhouse). It got so bad that everything in our pantry had holes chewed in it, so everything went stale (not to mention whatever sorts of diseases they brought in with them) and they chewed up a bunch of my mom's photo albums from when we were babies. She was so pissed.

And my 8th grade Algebra teacher didn't believe me when I told her that the field mice ate my homework...but it was true!

My mom eventually taught my dog to be a mouse-attack dog. She'd look at him and whisper "Where is it?" and he'd shove his head in between the couch cushions and a couple minutes later he'd come up with a little mouse tail hanging out of his mouth.

My mom is an elementary school teacher and one time she overheard one of the students calling another one of the teachers Miss Boobyshits.

I still remember my grandfather going nuts when he saw a gerbil (that had gone missing) sneak out from under our fridge to steal some dog food. He was on the floor trying to knock it out with a long ruler and then beat it, thinking it was a mouse, mom was yelling at him (it was her father) to stop because it was our missing gerbil, and Jamie and I were screaming.
Which quickly turned to laughter when we realized how silly Granddaddy looked.
