Just wait until it falls asleep and then shave one of it's eyebrows off. The mouse will then feel embarrassed and runaway.
|
Drown it and then pull it's dead body out and throw it outside.
|
Oh, I thought it was physically caught in the workings of the sink somehow. Nvmd, what you did was more or less what I would have done...I like to avoid killing them when possible.
Edit: Now we are both in the club of "people who caught mice and asked IRC what to do". Mine was caught face first on a glue trap though, but his back legs were free and he was pushing the trap all over my house. I ended up drowning him.

I was wondering how the hell you'd get it out of there, haha. I thought exactly the same thing, a thought which was reinforced by the earlier responses of "just call a professional"
@OP, I think you did the right thing, but I'd recommend calling an exterminator, if only to have him check things out and make sure there aren't more

Rats/Mice don't scare me nearly as much as cockroaches, those things give me nightmares. I'd probably put on gloves and put it in a shoe box. Then I'd take it outside and release it.

although I've once belonged to a group of kids calling ourselves the "rat busters" (we spent a few evenings with baseball bats trying to hunt down neighborhood rats and gave up after never catching one) I would do something similar to what you did micro. Trap the critter in some container and toss it out.
|
if it's a small mouse i would catch it and feed it to a cat outside. if it's a huge rat i would catch a cat outside and bring it to the rat.
|
Drop a wash rag in the sink, open the door, and hope for the best.
|
Well I had the same idea...except I used tongs instead of cheese in a bucket. Your idea sounds more fun
|
When I was young, I killed a mouse with a shovel because my grandpa told me to.
It haunts me to this day.
|
You could have used the vacuum.

He made a man out of that boy. Let's hope this is the only blood you're going to spill (until you meet your wife)

No thanks to those last two parts <<

gl hf with that. Haha nice to see someone who's honest. I figured everyone would come in here and announce that they'd grab the mouse with their bare hands and bite its head off Chuck Norris style.
