I have a mouse in the kitchen...

[Something Else]

I've got mouse trap coming Wednesday, it's non lethal one.

You cruel people!!

Where will you put the mouse? I suspect "outside"

Now I'm no expert here but I'm fairly sure mice come from outside so once the thing is outside it will promptly move back inside.

I hope the trap isn't single use

I tried to catch mine for about a week with a small bit of cheese in a humane trap. When I tried a bit of chocolate one night I caught it immediately. They seem to love chocolate!

Also, as above... take it far away before releasing it otherwise it will be back.

I started feeding it as well leaving odd little bit of bread on the floor.

Discuss.

try leaving odd little bit of bread on the end of a mouse trap

No need to kill it, just find a nice sheltered spot in the garden and put it out there.

A mouse came up through the hole where my power feed comes in under the stairs today! Trapped it under a bucket, threw it outside and killed it while it was stunned.

Filled the hole in pronto!

Like a boss.

Releasing it elsewhere makes it someone else's problem. Kill it and be done with it.

yeah mouse pee tends to smell a bit, and it's peeing on my floor which I have to mop.

If i recall correct the bladder of a mouse is so small they are almost continuously peeing.

Just take it somewhere far away from your house and let it go.

I had an infestation of mice at my first rented house. It didn't really bother me (I quite liked seeing them scurry around), but droppings in the kitchen meant they had to go. I tried non lethal traps, and caught plenty, but it didn't seem to really impact their numbers.

A few weeks later I got a pair of cats (had been planning to for a long time anyway). That did the trick. For the next couple of weeks I would find mouse corpses in various states, mouse heads, limbs, tails and general wobbly entrails at random places through the house, though my moggies were kind enough to leave most if them by the front door.

So yeah... cat. Your mouse problem will vanish, plus, you get a cat. Which is awesome anyway.

Carve some tiny clogs and put them on the stairs for the mouse to use.

 

[Frodo1805]

You should be killing it not feeding it.

 

[Stretch]

Get rid. Mice can breed at an alarming rate.

Shame it wasn't a rat in your kitchen. Then you could have had a cool thread title that we could sing along to.

i think they are being funded by the communists. ive got enough ammunition and tinned food for 2 weeks. send help

seriously if you see 1 then there are 10 more lurking in the shadows

Mice absolutely stink when they urinate over everything, besides which, you have a rodent (vermin) crawling around in your kitchen, accessing your food and walking over all your utensils... Seriously, get rid of it that's gross!!!!

Would be better if you had a queen wasp.
