Ahh, mice!

PreppySailor · November 2009

I'm not the type that's bothered by bugs, or spiders or anything like that but......Our computer is in the main living area of our apartment, we have stucco-type walls. I can very clearly hear mice (or something) scurrying around in the wall right behind the computer monitor (working from home today). I've never heard this before. What if the mouse (or whatever it is) gets stuck and dies back there, ewwwww

Mouse traps and peanut butter always work for us.

Clearly the solution is to adopt a cat!

Uhm, I know you don't want to hear it but I'm going to suggest some humane traps. Pb and a kill mouse trap is unnecessary.

haha we aren't cat people. I've never heard them or seen them here before, we've lived here since May. Hopefully it'll be less than year til we move.

Growing up we had bats that lived in the eaves in our house. Occasionally i would hear this loud rustling in the wall. I think they would get stuck in a wall briefly.It would really suck when they would get out of the walls/eaves and come fly around the bedroom. AWFUL.

You can get ultrasonic gadgets at Home Depot. Just plug them in and the noise, which you or cats/dogs, can't hear. It bugs the mice enough so they evict themselves. No killing!

Thanks Britne, I'll check that out. I can't hear the mice anymore.

if it dies back there, it will stink. I'd call an exterminator or get a cat. If I saw a mouse scurry across my carpet I wouldn't worry too much, set a trap and leave it. But if I heard things in the walls, I'd call an exterinator. There's probably more than 1, and even if you catch it, there's a way in/out, more will come/go.
