How To Catch A Mouse!!

[Smowball]

I know it’s a mental hour, but teen smow has just seen a mouse in his room!! I didn’t believe him as I have never EVER seen a mouse in my home in my life, but he managed to take a photo! He is now freaked out and hiding in spare room. I have absolutely no idea where it’s come from - we’ve lived here for years and never seen one. Anyway, any bright ideas?? How to catch??

A mouse trap of sorts is the only way Not sure if there are humane traps. Contrary to popular belief chocolate a good bate not cheese.

Ask him if he’s taking the mickey ( taking the Mickey get it Im too good for this place ) Turn the television on to sky and by the times the adverts are over the wee mouse will have thrown himself on the trap. Good morning ,good luck

[Smowball]

No he’s shown me the photo from his phone - there is definitely a little grey mouse sitting there!!

[Smowball]

I don’t want to kill it but don’t know how else to catch it

[malagabob]

Are you sure it’s a mouse Smow. Not a baby rat.

[Smowball]

No it’s definitely a mouse

[Smowball]

If I knew how to add photos on here I;would lol

[malagabob]

Borrow a cat.

[malagabob]

With all the floods around I’m surprised there’s not more sightings of mice and rats in homes.

[Smowball]

It’s a teeny grey mouse, but considering our house is 3 floors is what’s freaking him out as he has the top floor.

[Smowball]

And bizarrely I’m actually planning to adopt a cat - have done ever since mine died x

[weecalf]

How long have you been fostering these ideas of adopting a cat ?

[Smowball]

Since mine died x

[malagabob]

Well maybe that’s why you’ve never seen one before. You had a cat keeping them away.
Best of luck Smow. I gotta go. That rhymes lol.

you will have to kill it, sorry but if you catch it and that's not certain it will only come back if released into the garden... get your self a heavy broom and look away if you must and wham it, i am not kidding. I had six in my flat, i had no choice but to kill them all.. they were
horrible..

[waterboatman]

you can set a humane trap smow, then take it into the countryside, into forest or farmland, and release it. No need to kill it.

Good luck

At 4 in the morning you do nothing. The mouse can be dealt with today. There are humane traps, but then you have to deal with a trapped living mouse and release it miles away from your home. Plus find out how it got it, before another finds the entrance.
