EEK! I have a mouse! I have a mouse inside my house!

Well you can geta cat, dear. OR train your useless dog on how to kill them.

Lure a neighbor's cat. I have one who drops by for treats I keep for him and he does his job.

ha, I actually told my dog he wasn't doing his job! My old girl used to be the one to alert me to the mouse and my my old boy actually caught one (outside) one time and a vole another time. I lived in fear of him succeeding in catching a mouse in the house.

My winter visitor is polite compared to what he could be that I don't have much urge to kill him. if he acted like a frat boy I would borrow a cat.

I have a Citrus Rat. Beat that.

r4, what does that mean? Every time you peel an orange a rat leaps out? What does it mean????

I would scream r4 if I found that in the dog food cupboard! how do you deal, with having those?

I caught the little bugger and ran him down to the river. so cute, I struggle every time with wanting to keep it as a pet.

I use these, they're magic. five minutes after smearing some peanut butter on a cracker and slapping it into the farthest end I have a cute little mouse politely sitting there waiting for me.

There is more than one.

I'm glad you don't kill them rescue chick. I love mice, and have caught them before with popcorn. They are really cute.

there never is r7! my friend just told me it's a vole and Google says they don't actually like being inside a house like mice do. he may come back but in 15 years here I have never had more than one at a time.

OP Did you actually say Eeek? I would love it if you did LOL

But mice are cute, I screamed when I saw a centipede in my living room though.

I wonder if any of you have screamed when you unzipped a fly and found a huge dick. Or eek'ed when you discovered a tinymeat.

I saw one repeatedly coming out from under my kitchen cabinets, scurrying over to the garbage can and stealing popcorn, one piece at a time. It was adorable to watch, but I live in a condo and they got rid of the mice with poison. Smelled horrible!

I’m terrified of mice and rats. I don’t know why exactly, but the make me shudder, even the thought of keeping them as pets.

When I lived in central Amsterdam my apartment was in one of those tall, old canal side houses. We were overrun with mice. They ignored mousetrap danger, somehow managing to extract the treat without springing the trap.

I just learned to live with them. I kept the place spotlessly clean and stored all foods in airtight containers. Apparently they had become immune to mouse poisons over generations and were basically unkillable.

I live on a farm and we routinely have field mice invade the house. We use the sticky traps and they work really well. They're still alive, though, and then we drown them in a pot we specially use for that. Sometimes we can just turn the trap upside down, but sometimes they can still breathe that way, so then we have to hold it down until they drown. Kind of gross.

I keep everything in airtight containers too except for the dog food bags in the summers. I move them to the freezer/fridge in the winter.

I could literally never do sticky traps. never ever. poison maybe as an absolute last resort if it were an infestation and I could not borrow a cat. but never sticky traps.

I didn't bring him far enough away (it was late and I was embarrassed when I realized that I had forgotten to bring a mask with me) so I will be repeating tonight.
