There's A Mouse In The House!

And maybe more than one! Faye thinks it's cute, and just yesterday the mouse landed on her stomach while she was lying in bed. The same sucker got on top of my desk and was staring me in the eyes and I didn't know what to do. He sure is a cute sucker, but I want him gone. We've caught him 3 times in a live trap but I'm ready to end his life. I want to set a normal trap and have it snap down on his head. But Faye doesn't want to hear the "SNAP" when it clamps down on him. I say screw it...he's pooping on my desk and eating things he shouldn't be eating. He can only cause problems if he stays around.

Even though I know he's cute...it's time to put an end to his shenanigans. Dogs think he's one of the family and don't bother him!

What should I do?

Build him a little mouse ranch.

Loan it your laptop

Umm, . . . DonDiego suggests "Mouse-On-A-Stick", . . . it is quite the tasty treat in Malawi. Apparently it is used to catch blondes.

Hungry cat.

Catch him in live trap. Drive him far, far away.

There has to be a "man or mouse" joke here, I just can't come up wit one.

Catch him and put him in a very small habitat. About the size of a Main Street Station bathroom.

They sure are cute - until they chew the wiring in your house. We keep 2 cats for just that reason!

I'm not much of an expert on rodents, but wouldn't you think if they saw you, wouldn't you think they would run away. The way they're acting, they sound like someone's pet. Shouldn't you ask any of the neighbors that have kids if they might have lost a pet mouse before you kill it. Just a thought.
