A mousein my room help2007-11-24 21:57:17

I can be all grown up when answering questions, but when it comes to mice, I am a small kid... I just heard a mouse in my room for the first time in my life, and now I am freaked out and cannot fall asleep... :( I am very anti-killing, and a cat is not an option. Any ideas? (Assurance that they are not dangerous to/interested in scaring humans will help as well ;))

Answers:

I used to be mildly afraid of rats/rodents, and now I actually own 4 rats. They are surprisingly lovable and harmless little animals, and never bite. They each have their own personalities. I believe mice are quite similar- harmless, just looking to survive.

You (Or someone else) could try putting food out and capturing it, and then set it outside. You could try sticky pads, which attract them and they get stuck to. But I don't know if you can ever get their feet pried off the pads or not.

They are dangerous. Wild mice carry disease; period.

Get a large bucket or tupperware bucket at least a foot and a half, or more tall and put some food/crackers/cheese/peanut butter inside. Just leave it sit there and in a few days you will have a mouse.

Unfortunately, it will give itself a heart attack because mice have weak hearts but it is the most humane way of trapping, works, and honestly, if just put outside if living, will just come back to your house.
