I would put on gloves, release it / take it out from the sink and wrap it in a towel / put it in a box, then go outside and release it =)
|
fuck that shit i'd call someone to take care of it, or if i had some heavy ass duty gloves i would grab it, but ONLY if i had heavy duty gloves
|
Probably find the closest thing to wrap my hands with and pull it out of the sink. Don't want it to bite me or anything. Then I'd let it go outside

I'm not sure what qualifies as heavy gloves, but I wasn't to keen on the idea of handling it, even with gloves.
I took a pot, put it into the sink with the mouse, and threw a piece of cheese into the pot (LOL). When the mouse went into the pot I put a lid on it, then put a weight on top of the lid.
I went to get some work gloves just in case, and then removed the weight from the lid. I quickly lifted up the pot with two hands (holding the top shut) and walked it outside. I launched the mouse about 3-4 meters through the air away from the house lol
Well I'm not being 100% honest... the first thing I did was get kinda upset, then grab my phone and call my dad (he always has good advice in stressful moments). My mom picked up and I was like "hi Mom, can you put dad on?" She was like "why, what do you need?" And I was like "PUT DAD ON." XD
(my mom would have probably freaked out if I even mentioned there was a mouse)
|
Haha then you kinda solved it the way I would, only slightly more hectic ^^
|
This happened to me once. I started to make sudden movements so the mouse would panic and try to climb the sink for my entertainment. When I got bored of that I got a light bulb box, opened it, threw it in the sink and scared the mouse again. He entered the box, I took it and released the mouse outside.

wow ur such a girl rofl

Toyed with the idea of killing it but decided not to. A, how the fuck would I do that. B, would feel bad.

I had a mouse in my house once ( no ryhme intended ) I took some thick gloves a threw it outside.

Where there is one mouse, there are often many. Be prepared!!!
|
yeh i think its terrible when ppl kill mice and spiders and such.
its fine to kill pests that dont fit in the food chain and such but mice are no problem we ruined the home they were living in and spiders help kill bugs so thats dumb as well.

fuck that is hard to decide on i think like some other people i would only save it and let it go outside if i had heavy duty gloves

Oh wow, I really misread this. When you said the mouse got stuck in the sink, I thought you meant it got stuck in the drain part of the sink. I was wondering how the hell you'd get it out of there, haha.
I'd probably find some heavy/thick gloves and a box to stick it in. I personally wouldn't use a pot, because you cook food in it, lol. After I was done, I'd throw out the box, and maybe the gloves.
Make sure you wash the pot well before you use it again. :p
(I'm also so glad Alberta doesn't have any rats O.o)

My first thought was I would probably turn on the garbage disposal. Then I realized that I'm not a psychopath, so I was like ... no... no.
I don't know. I might call someone about it. I don't think I would have the guts to put gloves on and reach down in there to get it. Maybe I have a phobia of rodents idk. Was it way down in the sink or just in the basin?

I'd just put some gloves on and take it outside. Doesn't bother me picking up wild animals, I used to always be saving them from my cat when kitty was younger, and birds are always knocking themselves unconscious by flying into my window and I have to pick em up and put em in the bird feeder, once again so the neighborhood cats don't get them.
If you're a bit iffy about picking it up, is there anyone else you could get to do it? Or just get some really thick gloves and just, well, just fucking pick it up man aha.
EDIT: People saying you should kill it nooo D': I don't even kill moths that get in my room. Never take life unnecessarily dudes.

Slam some tupperware over that shit. Slide it slowly up and cap it, trapping your prey. Go to nearest field, dump mouse. That's what I usually do with the critters :S

i remembered one morning i was walking down stare and saw a bloody mouse's head on the floor. Apparently my cat hates eating the head part so it left that part there.

If the mouse/ rat is stuck, how did it get out and get into the pot?
I'd just release the mouse by scaring the little guy.

1. Boil a pot of water 2. Turn music on max 3. Pour the water into the sink 4. Turn cold water on 5. Get rid of the corpse
|
I've had kinda the same thing happen... Only kinda though. Had a young bird stuck in the air ventilation in the bathroom (coming from the roof). At first I had no idea where the noise came from or what is was. It sounded like it came from the attic, so I crawled up there, but found nothing. I figured it out when I entered the bathroom and found that the air vent was shut. I opened the window because I assumed it would try to escape when I opened the air vent, which is exactly what happened. The bird flapped its wings desperately as it tryed to reach the open window. It did, just barely, then paused for a second and looked back, and then finally out the window. No idea if it survived afterward (considering the bird was quite young) - that's up to nature to decide - but it feels good saving animals (or birds at least).
If I was you, micro, I'd just mainly focus on getting rid of the mouse/rat (killing it can be quite a hassle). Once you get access to it, use a glove and grab it around its neck so it won't bite. They're harmless, don't worry.
|
get out my gun and shoot it duh. fix the hole in the pipe with some duct tape and you're good to go.

mice are smaller.
rats have really big and thick tails, that have very apparent rings in the tail, no hair on it at all. Mice have very slender smooth looking tails. easiest.
Also, my dog-like cats deal with the ojnes around me.

if you want to be really disgusting and 4chan, find acid, pour acid in sink. remove bones.
Burning, whether boiling or actually on fire, is the most painful way to die. Its why flamethrowers became illegal in war after WW2. You are a terrible person.

wikipedia would like to disagree with you
The United States Marines used flamethrowers in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The M132 Armored Flamethrower, an M113 armored personnel carrier with a mounted flame thrower was successfully used in the conflict.[23]
Flamethrowers have not been in the U.S. arsenal since 1978, when the Department of Defense unilaterally stopped using them. They have been deemed of questionable effectiveness in modern combat and the use of flame weapons is always a public relations issue due to the horrific death they inflict. They are not banned in any international treaty the U.S. has signed, thus the U.S. decision to remove flamethrowers from its arsenal is entirely voluntary.
Non-flamethrower incendiary weapons remain in modern military arsenals. Thermobaric weapons[24] have been fielded in Afghanistan by the United States.[25] The USSR developed a rocket launcher specifically for the deployment of incendiaries—the ΡΠΟ-80 (RPO) or Rocket-launched Infantry Flamethrower. It has similarities to the famous RPG but the warhead is much bigger (approx. 2–3 liters of napalm), reducing the effective range.
that aside I am pretty happy that I live in cities where rats or mice are no problem because they stay in the canalisation

Well my grandmother didn't want to let 1.5 feet long rats out of the trap only to kill them in the most humane way possible; just sharing the knowledge here. You should probably teach rural folk how to use a shotgun or an electric tazer on them.
I don't want to "4chan" so I didn't offer something impractical and out-of-this-world, like "pouring acid". Might as well call Chuck Norris and ask him to crush the mouse with a roundkick.
P.S. I do hope that they outlawed usage of flamethrowers on rats after WW2

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.

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.

Give him a hug or something. He's probably cold and wet and traumatized from being a few inches away from falling into a drain.
Or you could just go outdoors and empty the pot. A mouse is not a zergling.

Finish eating dinner first imo.

Whenever you're faced with situations like this, you gotta think: WWJD?

I didnt look into the spoilers, but if it were me and I suspect some rat is in the pipe, I'd pour boiling oil on it.

Turn water on watch TV come back

Open the drain, catch it in a bag, then grab its tail in one hand and grip the neck in the other, take it outside, swing it by its tail to crack it on the head. I have to do it at work all the time. I Live in a rural area, so if I didn't, well, they already call me a city boy haha...

I would kill that mouse, so far in mouse killing i've used a big ass rock, my big ass boots, an oven mit, and mouse traps.
The worst mouse experience was the rock, mouse trap in the kitchen caught one ass end somehow and it was a squealing way bad....while my mom was on the phone mind you. So I had to take that thing outside and WHAM, big ass rock (in a plastic bag already for ezpz cleanup.
So ya, the question at hand. That mouse would be very very sorry it decided to fuck with my living space.

Let it free and follow where it goes, there's bound to be more.

Buy some venomous snakes and let them free.
Hope this helps

Mice are really cute, some rats are alright too but there's these really fucking old huge rats that lost their fur and looks like something out of a horror movie, our dog took care of one of those was a terrier and if you know terriers theyre not afraid of anything... He once came carrying a hedgehook in his mouth, all bloody and it wasn't the hedgehog.

I put a couple mouse traps out(Yeah, thats right, I keep rat/mouse traps in my house stored for "emergencies"... that and Home Alone type situations ^^) around the mouse and scare it into them. Then let it go free after releasing it from there.

I know that was too tempting not to say but, really? You probably would've been scared shit too. I'm used to mice running around cause we have mice problems. They have small tunnels in every room. I used to catch them one by one and throw them outside to cats. They never seem to run out so I stopped doing it. It's funny when you scare them and they jump from shock. One time I even held a cookie in front of one, and it bit a piece off and ate it.
If it's those huge rats then trust me they can jump out of that sink. I don't try to catch those though cause they rarely get in the house and if they do, me and my younger brother will try to corner it then he will kill it with a hit on the head using solid wood. Sometimes it runs through us though and we jump and we laugh. But in the end he will still kill it.
Mice and rats are nothing. We're lucky we don't have deadly venomous snakes and spiders here in our country. We have huntsman spiders and those huge orb weaving spiders(bird eaters) though. Those scare me especially the orb weaver cause I touched the web of one once and it's fucking tough and sticky. They have huge fangs as well. I always Imagine that it will have a silk stuck on me and get me lol. Been playing with them since I was a kid(spider fights) but I have always been so careful.

Shove it into the grinder, pour some alcohol down the sink, light it on fire and turn the grinder on. GG no re.
Oh and then sterilize everything around the sink repeatedly and throw out any food that is suspect of having come into contact with said animal.

This story reminds me of a story my uncle once told me. They had a squirrel who had made itself at home in their attic due to a small hole at one end of the house. So eventually he bought a trap, stuck it up there. Finally trapped the squirrel, then put in a plastic bag and slowly filled the plastic bag with water from the hose. o-O
Anyway actual advice: if your place is a rental, definitely call the land lord asap and have them get someone there. If not, go to the hardware store and buy a couple of traps (they are cheap) and set them around the house baited with peanut butter (if it is a rental, still may be a good idea depending on your landlords response). Rodents love the stuff, and it is impossible for them to get the bait off without setting off the trap. Look for any areas with droppings as these indicate where they may be hanging out. Also make sure to put traps in any small dark areas or cupboards. Check them daily and handle and corpses with gloves as they may have lice/rabies/insert disease here. If it was a rat, there are likely more as they are social animals.
You should then go around the entire outside of the house and look for any small holes and plug these up. The thing obviously got in somehow, and unless you block it more will likely get in. If it was a mouse, the entry point may have been very small. Mice only need vertical clearance of an inch or so. If nothing else, plug it temporarily with silicon caulk if it's small or just attack a piece of wood over the opening with a few nails until you can effect more permanent repairs.
Good luck!

Man I'm probably 100x worse than you. I'm such a sissy when it comes to live animals like mice, spiders, beetles, COACHROACHES. One time there was a spider in my bathroom the size of the palm of my hand(maybe slightly smaller)and I froze in fear for 20 minutes before i got my raid and sprayed it for a minute before it died. I took a picture of it but my dumb brother deleted it -_-.
And i freaking hate roaches so much. So big, and fast and disgusting looking. hate the sound they make after i spray it with raid till it dies on its back. hate having to pick it up with flyswatter and flush it down the toilet. i dont want to crush it either..i dont like the "feeling" of it being crushed..so disgusting. i sit in fear and stare at the roach for 20 minutes wondering how I'm going to "trap" it in a container, put a weight on it then let it sit for a week till i know the roach is dead for sure.
Yea I'm like 100x worse than u..thank goodness i havent had a mice encounter. If I ever get a house, the first thing I'm doing is making sure the whole house is sprayed with anti-bug repellent.

If it was a big rat, as in a rat as big a small cat (used to have lots of those in our old house) I would have freaked. If it was a small rat, I would still freak, and then break out the sticky fly paper. But generally, rats are best dealt with pre-emptively, as soon as you find a hole or hear squeaking/scratching sounds- we mixed rat bait with rice and dried fish, then placed sticky paper near the mixture or near their holes.

Put on some gloves (so he can't bite me, if it's not really stuck just grab it by the tail and take it outside. If it was stuck I'd just make sure I wasn't bitten as I handled it. I never kill things just cause I'm freaked out (why do people even freak out at these things?) it goes against everything I was brought up to believe. I don't kill cats or dogs so why would I kill rats or spiders? The only animal I feel justified in killing is mosquitos, they are activly trying to kill you so it's fair game.

1. Filled a trash can with about 8 inches of water 2. Grabbed the end of the glue trap that the mouse was not stuck to 3. Whispered "This will only take a few seconds." to the mouse lovingly 4. Held it underwater until it's body went limp. 
I've drowned about half a dozen mice this way...it kills them a lot faster than the glue trap fumes do. It is the quickest way I can think of to kill them without making a huge mess.

If it was stuck I'd just make sure I wasn't bitten as I handled it. I never kill things just cause I'm freaked out (why do people even freak out at these things?) it goes against everything I was brought up to believe. I don't kill cats or dogs so why would I kill rats or spiders? The only animal I feel justified in killing is mosquitos, they are activly trying to kill you so it's fair game. Mosquitos are not actively trying to kill you, they just want a bit of your blood. The diseases they carry are trying to kill you though...so yeah.

You know what's even more interesting than a mouse blog though? A mouse blog that also is a girl blog at the same time. Look at the potential! micro wants to be the little girl.  I know that was too tempting not to say but, really? You probably would've been scared shit too.
It depends which part of the Philippines he lives in. If he lives in certain parts, he might consider it food.
Ok, ok, it's probably the wrong species of mice. =P
