Theres a Mouse in the house!

[Hotwired]

I killed a mouse once. With my airsoft gun.

Interestin. Wouldn't have thought an airsoft gun was up to it.

I don't see dead mice looking like that personally.

The ones I chuck in the bin tend to have a line across their neck where for some reason they flatten out to a few mm thick and a inch and a bit wide.

Still, it's quick.

ha i was at home for the weekend at the rents house, weve had rats, mice , birds down the chimney you name it, thats what u get for living in a late 19th century house. I remember a few months ago when i was still living at home hearing a rustling in an old wooden cupboard, started taking bits n peices out of it to find suddenly see a mouse do the leap frog out of the cupboard and under the washing machine, funny how such a small animal can make u jump when your precarilously poking around trying to work out what was making the scatching noises!

Ahh ive been brought up with mice (mouseys as i call them), once i left the side off my computer, next morning there was a mouse having a nice cosy nap in there, our house is infested with them. They all some from the surrounding fields but tbh they are pretty cute

Yep

Think hes more likely to have died from that hideous carpet giving him bleeding of the brain.

Time to get a cat , and not a chicken wuss cat like someone on here once said that theirs runs away from a mouse, but a proper cat which hunts mice .

No luck with my crisp trap. It's hard finding a mouse in a big house. Best put the poison down and loads of it too. Was a quick little bugger. I'm scared if I turn all the lights off and use the torch, it will creep up on me.

I really wish I had a tiger right about now.

EDIT: Looked exactly like that Asim.

But it's a mouse, what do you think it's going to do? Eat you when your back's turned?

My cat does exactly this.

He's a huge baby.

 

[snowdog]

I'd use the mouse as an excuse to get a nice cat, however, failing that, mouse traps...

These traps work insanely well when baited with a few grains of rice:



I've caught so many over the years, usually get the bugger in under a day if there's one running about.

I release them a few miles away usually, but if you want to; you could kill them with your bare hands.

Just what I was about to post. Truly awful carpet!

Looks like a mat/rug to me.

That's great until they take a liking to a cable, then you won't find them so cute.

Mice at my parents took a liking to the cables at the back of their PC. Fortunately only the modem cable bought it.

Asim if you skin it you can have yourself a willy puppet, think of the long conversations you can indulge in, when your stoned out of your skull.

My cat has a habbit of bringing mice into the house, letting them go, catching them. And eventually eating them.

He doesn't always catch them again, I once killed a mouse with my laptop. Saw it on the floor, my instinct was to bludgeon it with the blunt object sat on my lap. Closed it and used it like a plank of wood, worked a treat

Almost a true 'Keyboard Warrior'

I wouldn't mind mice. At least it means you wouldn't have rats.

My Boxer would adopt them as a plaything.

I agree, there was a mouse in our front room a couple weeks ago, put one of the humane traps down with a bit of chocolate and he was in there the next day.

I don't so much use them because they're humane, I use them because they catch the mouse every time. I release them because I don't particularly want to get rid of a dead mouse.

The spring traps are too passive aggressive, if you're going to kill the mouse (which I have no problem with) have the grace to do it to its face.

Do you slaughter your own meat too?

No, I buy it at the supermarket, and sometimes farmers markets. If it made financial and social sense to grow my own meat, and it was legal to slaughter it myself, I'd have no problem with it.

When I was a lot younger (I think 13) I ate a sheep called Barley, I had named it as a lamb at a farm run by friends, I bottle fed it. We sometimes buy half a sheep from them, I know the chances were actually very slim that I was eating Barley, but I knew it might be.

I grew up in the country, I have no compelling need to be separated from that my meat was once an animal.

Large plastic bin at the end of a counter. Put a gob of peanut butter in the bottom of the bin. Mouse can get in but can't climb back out. Take mousie at least 20 miles away before depositing him in a field. Less than 20 miles and he will, believe it or not, find his way back to you.
