Mouse in the house

I noticed a few turds in the kitchen around the dishwasher last week. So I set a trap. Everyday I would look at the trap, not closely. Never went off. No biggie sometimes it takes a few days...

Yesterday I got up close to take a look and damn if the f**ker didn't get the cheese without triggering the trap!

I have one of those for chipmunks. I think one time I caught somebody's hamster that got loose.

I want to kill the mouse! It's in the house!!

Same problem here... Get a rat glue trap... (Make sure its for rats and not mouse, mouse glue is to weak) and put a piece of snicker bar in the middle of it... Come back in the morning and u will have a fresh beacon waiting for u.

I have a mouse phobia. They completely freak me out. I had a hard time even reading your post and my feet immediately went into my chair the moment i read your thread title. I know, it's completely irrational they just really gross me out. Good luck.

put more than one trap out. i've had the problem twice now. once in the house. i think they came in with the christmas tree that time. i always put out 4. sometimes they'd get the cheese without springing a trap, but it isn't likely to happen on all of them. the first night i got 3. the next i got 2. it took me 4 nights to not catch any.

the next time it was in the garage, and it only took 2 nights to not get a dead mouse.

edit: about the d-con...you never know where they are going back to. you could end up with dead mouse stench coming from your walls. that and my dogs is why i didn't go with that option. plus the old school mouse traps are so cheap!

Screaming at it, pointing at it and squirting it with Clorox doesn't work, it only makes them mad.

I have a story about a mouse...

My in-laws were cleaning out a house they own that some people recently moved out of. These people were the nasty of nasty. You've heard of people having roaches bad? Well these people had mice almost that bad, everything was infested with mice.

My MIL is afraid of mice and since it was her job to do most of the cleaning she was pretty afraid most of the time to go in there and would make her presence known by stomping around and yelling to scare the mice away. My FIL set traps and was catching about 10-15/day. He wanted to catch more so he got some of those glue rat traps and put those out. But as you know the mice only get stuck to those, it doesn't kill them. My MIL saw a mouse was stuck to one where she was trying to work and it was squeaking and chirping and trying to get away but it couldn't. So my MIL, as silly as she is, she tries to kill the mouse by squirting Clorox on it. This obviously just angered the mouse, Clorox doesn't kill mice. lol She ended up squirting the mouse so much that he was able to get his feet free and he ran off. But since he had been squirted with Clorox he must have been delirious or something because he just sat there running in circles around her. She screamed and screamed and my FIL came running in to see her still squirting this already soaking wet mouse with the clorox and pointing at it. He ended up stomping on the mouse. That poor mouse! So now when ever someone mentions killing a mouse we tell them screaming at it, pointing at it and squirting it with Clorox doesn't work, it only makes them mad.

i tried peanut butter and fruit, but cheese is what gets them every time. i used the cheapest shredded stuff i could find. i think it was food lion brand american or cheddar. take a couple of pieces and mash it into the plate so that they really have to work to get it. that all but eliminates the issue of them getting the cheese without triggering the trap. seriously mash it into the holes.

      NHL 2026 Playoff Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Some national praise for Stankonia this fine morning... NHL playoff breakouts: 6 players opening eyes with their postseason performance Stankoven had an absolutely dominant Game 1 against Ottawa. At five-on-five, the team went up 19-5 in shot attempts, 2-0 in scoring, and earned a 93 percent xG rate in his minutes. Stankoven’s seven shot attempts and overall efforts helped contribute to 2.17 of the Canes’ 3.16 expected goals at five-on-five. ... After earning two primary points on the Canes’ goals on Saturday, he saved a goal in Game 2 that almost slipped over the line (and likely would have changed the tone of the game early), and added another of his own. 15 early takes from Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs 5. Stankoven’s a dawg The Hurricanes have a lot of dawgs — Martinook is one too — but Logan Stankoven deserves the title in his own way. Three goals through two games, not afraid of the moment, and his line with Taylor Hall and Jackson Blake is relentless. They’ve got an expected goal rate around 75 per cent at 5-on-5 so far. ***Bonus Round*** 4. Tkachuk has to settle into the moment Last Ottawa thought is that they’ve got lots of guys going. Tim Stutzle is all over it, Drake Batherson, Ridly Greig, these guys should’ve scored more than they have, but it’s like there’s a forcefield at the net. However, Brady Tkachuk hasn’t been on the ice for a goal for yet, and to me, it’s because he’s just so damn over-eager. He looks like he’s in a fist-fight with the puck out there and it’s blowing up on his stick way too often. He needs the opposite of smelling salts pre-game. He needs a chai tea and a fiction novel in the dressing room. He’s one of the rare guys you’d like to see calm down, rather than rev up.

      I definitely want a DT as versatile as McD. (Trade back) I am not into McNeil-Warren because I (for some reason) see him as a run stuffer more than a center fielder.  Not interested in Sadiq because I think a TE in round 1 is a waste of a first rounder, and I lke Iheanachor, but not round 1.  I think it might be WR or OT--
