i hear a scratching noise in the wall between our room and the next one, I hope it's not a mouse. Any ideas on how to get rid of the mouse? One of my housemates is threatening to kill me if I kill the mouse, and I'm scared of both her and the mouse. So I guess I should say, any non-lethal ideas?   | ||

Hmm...my first thought was cat when I looked at the title, but I guess that isn't too non lethal. Also housecats these days are pretty damn lazy. Only 1 out of 3 of my cats would actually chase a mouse I think. For now I'm drawing a blank. Edit: Should center it imo. Actually nvm, looks fine the way it is.

You can buy rat motels basically a rat trap that's a box that drops a door when the mouse gets in. you could also try leaving the door open and putting a trail of cheese out the door and hope for the best. Although if he got in i doubt he used the front door to begin with. Rat traps are the only non lethal way. I wouldn't try to catch one by hand rats teeth and jaw are very efficient and powerful they will bite to the bone. http://www.dezeen.com/2007/10/22/non-lethal-mousetraps-by-roger-arquer/ These are awfully fun. | ||

I reference this thread, and suggest you replace the word "spider" with "mouse" on all pages. Manifesto7 has also written a guide for dealing with these a pesky http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=54985 | ||

just put some food in it and give it a couple days, eventually it'll come out when it's hungry. I didn't actually see them myself but apparently he caught like 3 big ones. totally disgusting. | ||

Yeah traps that just box him in are probably the best idea, then just let him loose on some other poor fellow, or the roommate  | ||

One of them ate it, ran out in the middle of the day into my sister's room and started running in circles, coughing up blood, tripping and falling before going into a seizure and dying. Was fucking insane. PLus, if you poison it and it dies in the walls, it's going to smell like dead ass. Use a trap that kills it on the spot—fuck your roomate. | ||

Within the past two months he has killed four mice in his attic using homemade traps made out of everyday items. He would take pictures of the traps for me the night before, then in the morning with the poor little mice dead in them. If anyone can help you he can. Sounds like the new age MacGyver. Except he kills them instead of letting them live. As for non-lethal mouse traps, besides those posted by IzzyCraft all I could find was this design. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/how-to/how-to-build-a-diy-humane-mouse-trap-051742 Seems like it's a lot of work compared to the simple ones by Roger Arquer. | ||

This way I don't have to deal with killing them later or having them escape (which happened before, these mice can squeeze through the tiniest cracks its unbelievable.) If you don't want to kill them don't add water and just dispose of them at least a few miles away from your house....but I would recommend killing the mice and lie to your roommate that you let it out, or else it will only come back and make more mice babies. Once the mice start to catch on to the traps you may have to use other methods. I've killed 2 by sniping them with a high powered BB gun, and one trapped himself in a box somehow so i gave him a nice farewell down the garbage disposer. Remember, whatever you do, DO NOT let them go. They will find their way back. It is not cruel to kill mice because they are invading your home, keeping you up at night, eating your food, and shitting all over your room. I warned them to get the fuck out and they didn't listen. For me this means war. | ||

Also who cares about getting rid of the mouse by killing it...getting rid of it is much more important. | ||

Dont buy those that are supposed to kill them though, unless you want a mess, as it decapitates them :S, and with poison the mouse can die away from it, where you may not find it and it can stink a lot. | ||

that's actually a good idea and it's true, if you don't destroy them they'll come back. again and again. | ||

Edit: On a side note, I once had a mouse in my house. I chased it into the office near my computer. I shut them door and stuffed towels under the door to stop it from running out and I chased it for a couple hours. I managed to catch it with my hands and a plastic tupperware container. I threw the fucker outside and I'm sure it must have died. (It's -40C where I live so either it died or got into someone else's place) | ||

Hide your food and drink, it'll get out eventually if none were in the room. ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5e/2005_mousetrap_cage_2.jpg) Might work too if you don't want to kill it Do NOT use poison, as that guy already pointed out. It will kill the mouse in some places you cannot reach, and the mouse will rot, and you'll have a bigger problem. goodluck! | ||

Yeah, glue traps are fucking nasty. Cuz if it doesn't chew of it's leg to get away (and die shortly after, probably in your wall) you have to stomp it's brains out. Get a snap trap. | ||
