i'm in the middle of my first home owners problem....a little mouse is in the house. i was warned about field mice when i moved up here in Vernon, but this is the first time i've had this problem in 2 years. so i noticed it today and have been trying to catch the little quick fucker. it obviously knows the basement of my house better than me. i keep crashing things over and have made a mess of my basement. the worst part though isn't the mouse. it's my wife. she just sits there and screams anytime i scare it from underneath the baseboard heating. i have the thing stuck in a one room with no where to run out to, but i just can't catch him. my wife this whole time is screaming her lungs out about 3 rooms from where this is while i bang around trying to catch this thing. it's been 2 fucking hours now and i'm tired as all hell and she keeps yelling at me. i'm sorry that the thing is in the house and it's obviously a better athlete than me..but shut up already or help me out. it's frustrating enough i can't catch this thing in this 15 foot room, but it's really fast and her screaming doesn't seem to be slowing it down. i keep saying i'll buy a trap tomorrow morning and the problem goes away...but NO...we won't be able to sleep tonight now...UGH!!! the fucking thing was probably in the house before today and you slept fine yesterday...well enough of my rambling. this is what i would like to have told her before she stormed off to bed...but i'm more scared of that than this mouse.

Don't buy a snapping trap, buy poison traps. We also have had field mice and they eat that shit and die.
Other times my dog chased one into the bathroom and I beat the shit out of it with a broom and through it out in the trash.
We've recently had one for a week now (my Mom keeps flipping out) and just set the poison a couple days ago and he's already eaten a box full, so I'm expecting to see his dead little body laying somewhere soon.

Whatever you do, don't throw a fogger thing in the baseboards and then shoot it with a shotgun.
You may, however, want to try this.

that's pretty much what i have set up down here...if it tries to run around the speaker...hopefully the cup i have triggered falls on top of him. if he tries to go around the sneaker he's a fool...the shoebox is just waiting to end my problem there. i feel even bad for him now

Is this story going to have a "Married...With Children" ending where your wife winds up falling in love with the little critter and you put it in a little cage and keep it as a pet?

i don't think she will fall in love with the critter. she says she wants to stay at my sisters until i find the thing. it's a big house and he could be anywhere right now. i'm willing to just get a trap and let it take care of itself...but i don't think that will be quick enough for her.

i would say go with an old school mouse trap in all the places you think they normally are with peanut butter on it...i don't know what it is but those little sonsabitches can't resist the Jiff....don't get the poison b/c that may lead to your 2nd homeowners problem...a dead decaying stinky mouse that you cannot find lest you tear down a wall

If you got a cat, the mouse would dead within a day. Cats don't fuck around with that sort of shit.
If you're lucky, the cat might even bring the mouse's dead body to you to show he killed it.

go with glue traps. Unlike poison traps you dont find your dead rotting mouse turning up under the couch a month later...
and unlike the snap trap they dont escape. And the smap traps are gruesome.
4 glue traps in a box, buy 2 boxes and set em up around the house. Youll get em within 24 hrs. pick up the remaining traps and save em for when the mouses relavites come looking for "mickey".

Mice don't come in ones.
You've just seen one at a time.
Go old school with the trap---get the onr that snaps down on the little fucker's neck.
You're in for a minor thrill--- it's great to be in the living room and here that baby snap.
Get a photo of the surprised look on the mouse's face. Sometimes they've got that look --it's as if the mouse was thinking: "Shit! I knew it was a trap"!

mouse trap with peanut butter as bait...guaranteed!
we had the "city meeses" growing up, my Dad became quite the mouse hunter and killer...
he would eventually stuff all the holes with steel wool and that seemed to be the end of it...
one time my eldest brother called me in his room and said watch this... he had a 2 1/2 or 5lb weight propped up against the wall with a wooden folding chair, right where he would hear the mouse at night... then he pulled out a slipper and threw it at the chair from the bed and in hit the chair and dropped the weight...
kind of funny...
