So we spotted a mouse in the house tonight. Later in the evening we were sitting at the table, the mouse decided come out again.


So we spent two hours moving things and sealing the basement off. We chased the sucker for a good 45 mins. Finally we had him cornered and I put a bucket over it.


To confirm the catch we drilled several holes on top to see. Now the pale has 20lbs of weights sitting on it with our friend inside.

So what should I do with the mouse tomorrow? It's going to be tricky transporting or killing it. Although I do have an idea already. Feed the fella some rat poison. hehe

well, first call pest control to see if there are more hanging about. sad to say, i'd go w/ the rat poison; you set it free, chances are that it'll come back.

but thats the californian in me talking

watch the entire thing for your answer

Just toss the bugger outside. Whenever I've caught a mouse alive that's what I usually do. In most cases it's rare to find just one mouse; I'd suggest setting up mice traps just to be sure.

buy a 10 gallon aquarium, get some shredded newspaper, and voila! you have a new pet! Or you could bring him to the local mall and let the poor guy free

train it to dance and put it on ebay

Put a peace of cardboard under the bucket and take it outside. Set it free a few hundred yards from your place. Peace

Bring the cats and dogs in.

If you are going to try to call pest control to try and get any others you have, use traps, not poison. The trap will painlessly snap its neck and it won't feel a thing. Poison will kill them a lot more slowly either by an overdose of anticoagulants which causes severe internal bleeding or by increasing the levels of calcium which forms crystals which destroy blood vessels and other organs. That's just what's on wikipedia. Poison is not a pretty way to go.

Ahh, you guys are all too nice.
My suggestions:
a) Boil it
b) Poision it
c) Create your own method

I saw option (a) carried out with my own eyes. Not the most beautiful sight, unless you can stand hearing death cries from a dying creature.

I'm from California and I say kill it with the method of your choice.

In honor of Steve Irwin, do the right thing: find a nice place in the backyard and set it free, or go out further into the woods and let him go. Cruelty is never cool.
