Mouse in house!

OMG I'm dying here! LOL!
WTH did we laugh about before you joined the forum??

So glad the that *today's* crisis is over. As much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news, here goes. Tim, where there is one mouse, there are more mice. Sorry dude. Set up those traps and keep your spatula close by!
 
I hate to be the one to break this to ya, but where there's one there's usually more. I went from none to seemingly dozens in a day last December. And they're back now in spite of my precautions, cat purchase, and loads of snap traps. :twoguns:
 
Thanx for that bit of information. LOL
But I was just on the computer researching ways to keep mice out. And it seems 100% pure peppermint oil dabbed with cotton balls placed around the outside of your house helps keep them away. Can't hurt. Wish me luck!
 
:roflmao: Tim you are great! But your storytelling is not good for people recovering from chest infections, I'm literally dying here....lol....So glad you got the little devill though! :D

Good luck keeping the little blighters away!
 
I am glad everyone enjoyed my mouse adventure over the last couple days.
Everyone is really nice here & I love chatting with people about corns.
Hope to be able to show of my kids soon. But still do not know how to download them and post them? But that is another story.
Till the next adventure.
 
Lol- usually my boyfriend could care less what's happening in the CS.com forums but I had him chuckling with your story!!

Thanks for sharing and I'm glad it turned out ok and you will have a good night's sleep!
 
That was a great play by play action story! :0) Can't wait to hear about another one of your adventures..This one even had my fiance laughing..lol :0)

Been there... tried that.... it made my house so minty fresh I had a headache for days. The mice cared not.
 
Heh this reminds me of two stories.

When my sister was younger she had a cat and a hampster. Somehow the hamster got out, saw it run acrossed the floor and behind the TV, cat in hot persuit. Crashing, yowling, thrashing and the cat comes flying out, blood all over her nose :( Thinking this can't be good for the hampster, I climb back there to find...

The hampster, perfectly ok. Upon further examination of the cat, there was a big hampster bite on her nose, hence the blood. Mighty hunter indeed!

The other incident was only a few years ago. Just got a new baby rat that was super friendly and cuddly. Somehow she got out of her cage at about 2:00 in the morning. Next thing I know theres something under the blankets cuddling up on my chest. That was the quickest I ever woke up at that time of night :D
 
I live in the basement of my house, and every year there seems to be more and more 'holes' in the corners of my room... :poke:

Last year we set up atleast 40 traps. We killed 40 mice. We then reset them to see if there are more mice. Suprisingly enough, about 20+ traps killed a mouse. It was very gruesome. I saw a mouse the other day, on top of my dresser. I tried to shoot it with my air-soft gun, but missed and it ricochete and it hit me on the nose. I later killed it with my traps.
 
Elusive/John,
You are way braver than me. That many mice would just kill me. LOL
I would end up not only sleeping with my spatula, but a bat too as well as having my bed surrounded by barb wire with me wearing night vision goggles so none could sneak up on me in the night. All that and many, many more cats & snakes to. LOL
Careful with your air-soft gun indoors in the future.
 
Erm can I please ask that you use a different trap other than glue?
It's an extremely cruel trap. There are types which cage the mouse and you can later on release him somewhere or something.
The glue thing is kind of horrid, it's a death sentence :/

Unfortunately, isn't that the point? Not like you can just take the mouse back outside and let it go...
 
I get what Kokopelli is saying. I mentioned it above. It's a very slow death, and I've seen mice pull their feet off trying to get off of it. One should have a back up for sudden, humane death when using them. Something very quick. Tim, feel free to PM me if you'd like to know how I did it. I'm not going to turn this delightfully entertaining thread into a debate.
 
Thanx Lori,
I am in Florida right know but no worries. I used a broom.
And thank you for enjoying my thread! That was how it was intended to be, just a funny true life experience. lol
 
With my luck, I'd bash my toe instead.

Tim, did you feel the need for a vacation after your harrowing experience? You know...when the human's away, the mice will play!! I'd buy an extra spatula while you're down there. :laugh:
 
Lori,
If I come home & find mice in my place & my cats doing nothing I will die.
Yup I will have to buy myself a tool belt to hold my spatulas & tongs, dustpan, etc... LOL
Hoping to meet up with Robbie today and see his collection since he lives in Daytona & that is where I am at.
And all the people who hear me talk from here tell me I brough the cold from New England with me. They can tell by my accent, "which I do not have" that I am from up north. And they all want to hear me talk? LOL
But enjoying my stay here just wish I could see more snakes. :0(
Timfrom the great north who speaks with funny voice.

I couldn't tell about the accent at first, but it's definitely there. You and my AP World History teacher from my Sophomore year of high school would get along great! Apparently, he went to Harvard, and was raised somewhere in Mass. He has a brother named Tim... or Tom... I can't remember. It was a while ago.
