A mouse just ran under my door.

Where did it go?

Just let him do him.

Eek!

Do you live in a pigsty, OP?

Move!

You jump on a chair and yell, "Help Fred a mouse."

Get a mouse trap mary

An apartment I assume. Call your building tomorrow and they'll set a trap. See about diminishing the space under your front door. Old buildings have mice and even with newer buildigns you need to plug up any access from outdoors into the structure.

My neighbor across the hall had mice and they would run over to my apartment cause there was too much space under the door. I had never seen a mouse before and I noticed these little dark things in my coat closet. They were mouse droppings and I had no idea. LOL! Anyway they stopped "visiting" once we dealt with the front door. Also check the areas around your pipes (kitchen, bathroom, laundry) see if there are any gaps.

Don't worry they won't come sit on your face and pee,during the night.

Kill it with a grease fire

[QUOTE] Don't worry they won't come sit on your face and pee,during the night.

That's what YOU think!

Shoot it.

Say hi there mousy.

Find a chemistry teacher who is dying of cancer and get them to teach you how to make meth. Set up a secret lab in your neighbor's apartment. Once you have bankrolled enough cash, hire a circus to set up shop outside of your building. Rig your lab to have an accident to drive the mouse outside. Wait until the elephants are performing for this step. While the rioting elephants are being wrangled, take the opportunity to let the tigers loose to hunt your mouse. Blame it all on Ambien. Simple, really.

Get a hammer

Mousetrap

I've got one or more rats that shlep up four stories, enter my top floor flat through the open windows and spend all night partying hearty. I wake up in the morning to find they've eaten large chunks out of mangoes, pears and apples left on the counter to ripen, knocked over small pictures and bottles, dragged plastic storage containers into the middle of the floor and foraged through my kitchen rubbish bin, tossing onto the floor everything unedible.

I thought I'd catch the fuckers in the act during my 3AM bleary-eyed trek to the toilet, but nope.

Oh! You should set up a little doll house for it!

I always knew there was at least a tiny percentage of DLers typing from homeless encampments!

I've used the electric mouse traps in my basement and they DO WORK----use Peanut Butter.....FYI----I live next to an empty house and I think that's where they come from. They zap the mice to mouse heaven.

[quote]r17 Oh! You should set up a little doll house for it!

Put it up your ass.

I hope you don't sleep naked op.

I knew a woman years ago who used to sleep in a nightgown with no underpants. Her kid's pet mouse escaped the cage, and she saw it at the foot of the bed. She screamed, and it ran up her vagina. She had to get it removed at the E.R. They are FAST and can get into extremely small openings, so watch your ass Op.

Get a catch and release trap. Plug any crevices and entry points. Please no electrocution or glue traps.

This happens more often than people like to admit. There were 3 "surprise attacks" like this just in my building alone, last year.

Sleeping in a wetsuit can help, but often they'll just nibble right through it, seeking warmth.

Sing loudly

get a cat

I saw a mouse running across my kitchen floor. I bought catch and release traps, and put them under the kitchen sink, in the corners and the pantry. I caught three. Don't release them in your yard... make sure to take them at least a mile away, in a field or remote area. They'll return, if too close. Don't use poisons. Birds of prey and other prey animals could eat them and die. Make sure to plug up the openings under the sink. You'd be surprised at how big the opening are around the pipes. Plug up all openings outside. So far, no more mice... don't see anymore droppings, which is a good sign.

OP - when he comes up through the toilet (like in that Peter Weller film Of Unknown Origin), grab yourself a gun (like he does in the movie) and start blasting away.

Put on your Sunday best and engage in a ukulele duet together.

Give it to me...once you remove the fur, they taste not so bad...

In addition to traps, spray a mixture of peppermint oil with water around any areas they may be getting into. Mice doesn't like the smell of peppermint.

Unless it's sitting in your cereal bowl, or is bigger than you, leave it alone. Humans are filthier than animals.

Save yourself OP!

Get a cat!! I am a screaming, nelly cartoon queen when it comes to rodents--standing on furniture and such--and in my last apartment I saw more than my fair share running around, especially being on the ground floor. I adopted a cat, an absolutely gorgeous, fluffy, gentle animal who has never scratched or bitten me, yet she would perform "Saw"-style executions on the mice. After a few of these massacres, I have never, ever had a vermin problem again.

Rodents get in between the walls, can wreak havoc on electrical wires, foundations, shit all over.. and they multiply. So... don't ignore the problem. They are nasty beasts.

A mouse! A mouse! A mouse ran in his house!

When you first start seeing them, they streak by so fast, they're like ghosts and you think it's your imagination. I like to catch them at set them free (do it far from home though, or they'll come back) but I won't share my living space with them. Leaving disgusting trails of poop all over, they have no control over when they poop and piss.

No, absolutely do NOT ignore it, OP.

They crawl all over your plates and silverware. They not only poop on stuff, which you can see, but they piss on it too, which you can't. They bring fleas and other disease vectors into your house. And they squirrel food away inside your walls that will ultimately bring more pests like ants or roaches or flour moths.

And by the way, when you see one mouse, there's a hundred more.

So kill them asap. Get some of that green bait stuff. It really works. The mice eat it and die, and then the other mice eat the poisoned ones and die as well, because mice are cannibals.

I feel like a terrible person but I use the green bait stuff too. Used to try the old-fashioned mouse traps but what a mess - and if you have very many, you will never catch them all - and you have to pick them up by their tails and throw them away, which nearly gives me a nervous breakdown. I hate meeces to pieces.

If you see a mouse, you have very many. Trust me.

Peanut butter on a mousetrap works 100% of the time.

Mice LOVE peanut butter.

Just keep setting the trap until you don't catch anything.

That's how you'll know the mice problem is over.

I repeat - Mice LOVE peanut butter.

Lure him outside with darling little luxuries you knit yourself.

This might be a little OT, but I didn't want to start a new thread. There is this noise above my bathroom in the back corner of my house, I thought I was hearing things but I'm home today and hearing all kinds of racket. What animal is awake all day and making this noise? Kind of sounds like they are moving furniture around and having a party rent free in the crawl space between my roof and ceiling.

We had them and the only thing that worked was glue traps. They're awful, but a bit of peanut butter on a cracker and you'll catch it in no time.

That's what happens when you leave your cracks and gaps open wide....silly boy

R54, you have Hippies in your crawlspace. You'll need the National Guard to get them out of there.

Don't use glue traps. You can catch mice in a no-kill trap just as easily. They're less than $20 on Amazon. I moved into a renovated apartment two years ago and didn't see any rodents until about 3 months ago. I was cooking on the stove, and it ran out from under the oven, past me, and then under the fridge. I put down the humane trap (which I had saved after an episode 10 years ago), and I turned out the light. In less than 45 minutes, I had caught the mouse. The traps are clear so you can see the little critter. (It'll be cute!) Take it a mile away and release it at a park. You can hose the trap down and reuse it.

Using the same trap, I caught three mice over the course of three weeks. (My one-year old cat tried his best, but got no results.) I started looking for an entry point. The crew that renovated the apartment had cut a three inch hole in the wall for a one-inch pipe to pass through. The hole was too huge to plug with steel wool; I had to ball up some copper mesh to fill the gap around the pipe. After that, I found no further mice. You need to eliminate their point of entry, or you'll end up with more mice.

Your cat is a lemon

Even the smallest of openings they can get through. I got a filler with a steel wool fiber base , that you cut to size, to plug the openings. You can use it inside and outside. It comes in a roll. You can find it on Amazon, or Home Depot and Lowes.

OP did you jump up on a chair pull your caftan over you head and scream?

This thread is Hilarious!.😁

Don't feel bad about using the baits and poisons. A lot of people don't like using mouse traps. In college, I worked for a property management company that also did cleaning and maintenance checks on vacation condos. We would go in during periods when units weren't going to be occupied for awhile and set up the plastic trays of bait.

I didn't know Mice committed "Surprise Vaginal!"

You learn something new every day here.

Was it a little mouse with clogs on?

GLUETRAP THE BASTARD. Mice piss as they run to have a trail to follow back. Kill him before his disease kills you. I hear one running about in the attic above me room. Five snap traps now set to catch the fucker.

Give it a cookie. Or don’t. I never read the book

A few years ago the city was doing repairs on the subway under our building.

We live on the second floor, so the repairs drove mice up into our apartment.

The only thing that worked were glue traps.

Of course, the mice were usually still alive while stuck in the traps. My soft-hearted husband wouldn’t touch them.

I grew up on a farm - so I don’t get emotional about pests. I’d pick up the trap, put it in a garbage bag, give it a good swing and thwack it against the wall.

Any mousey squeeking was instantly silenced.

Catch the mouse and advertise him/her as a "Little Something For the Ladies - The Surprise Vaginal Mouse."

Make the price attractive.

You might make more money by breeding him/her and creating a whole supply of Surprise Vaginal Mice.

You might want to contact City Hall to find out if you need a license to breed and sell.

Was he doing the cha-cha on the floor?

I like the catch and release traps... then take them for a ride (at least a mile out). I pick an open field, away from homes. I figure it will feed another predator.. a hawk or owl. The circle of life.

I had a mouse in my house awhile back. I put out some poison. A week or so later, I smelled something decaying and vile, and it turned out to be the mouse, dead behind my sofa. He was just a little grey mouse and I felt awful. Humane traps only, should the need arise in future.

Yeah, if you poison them, they could die within the walls... or another remote spot, stinking the high heaven. Also, if they go outside, another animal may die if it eats the poisoned rodent. It could be your cat.

Are you sure its not a hamster?

Now it's night and I'm about 90% certain I am dealing with a raccoon problem, fucking fat bastards are squatting in my ceiling and still moving their furniture in. If they keep up at this pace, by morning I will be overrun by the conniving thieves. I swear they are laughing down on me and plotting my murder.

Is he a city mouse or a country mouse?

R75... Maybe they're having a ........

"Leaving disgusting trails of poop all over, they have no control over when they poop and piss."

I have heard they leave trails of urine as a beacon for other mice. Human activity and cleaning tend to smudge or remove the trails. So they can quickly tell if humans are around.
