#humane mouse trap

If you are brave enough to look at mice, bugs, or any other critters that end up in your home but want to return them to the wild then all you need is an old clear deli container with a lid. Clear is good so you know the critter is in there.

This morning I got to put a usetohold on top of a mouse in the bath tub, slid the lid under it but didn't snap it shut, then while holding the lid took it to a more mouse appropriate part of the neighborhood, put the container down, and backed away.

If you haven't snapped the lid down on the container the critter can open it and free its self.

Gently tossing the container on to grass so it opens upon landing is another viable option.

Humane Mouse Trap

Humane mouse trap come in two distinct categories. The first kind simply catches the mouse, while the second kind delivers an electrical shock, killing on contact. It is the simplest and quickest way to catch the mouse/mice and can be set up anywhere in the house.

I’ve had a mice problem for a month or so, So a few weeks ago I bought a humane mouse trap and put it in my bathroom drawer where I was seeing all the mouse poop, but I wasn’t catching any... until this morning there were two of them in the trap. So i let them go in the woods this morning. I just checked again, and there’s another mouse in there!

I’m not bringing it outside until morning, tho, because it’s midnight. The trap is actually a pretty good size so it can run around a little, and there are air holes, so it should be fine in there all night.

Mouse!

Egads! Over the weekend I confirmed my suspicion that we have a mouse in the house. (I tried really hard to logic the mouse away, but it was hard to discount the blur of grey that dashed into my room last night.)

Non-gross mouse education and whining after the cut.

Apparently, the roommate and I handled the mouse thing backwards. We found and sealed the entryway (pipe hole behind the washer). We...assumed the mouse would skedaddle after we started moving the big appliances then left them all pulled out and quiet for a while before the sealing.

No. The mouse was still in the house. The mouse ran into his room, yesterday and after the roomie threw a shoe at it, it ran into my room. FML.

I was too freaked out to sleep, so I stayed up super late researching mice (Education: You catch the mouse first, then you seal the hole) and mouse traps and went on to order two different types of humane traps.

Amazon was on point - traps (a flimsy looking tip trap, and a more complicated “smart” trap) arrived about two hours ago.

I spent an hour familiarizing myself with them. I have no intentions of handling these things once they’re loaded, but still! Anyway. I have traps, I have peanut butter, I have a cracker for the smart trap.... but the roommate (the designated mouse releaser) won’t be home again until tomorrow night.

And... now the more sprightly  of my two old cats has noticed the mouse. Thanks to her, I know it’s living behind the stove. I really DON’T want her to catch it (she’d play with it.  The older, deaf male cat is the mouser of the pair. Luckily he spends most of his time being petted or asleep)   I also can’t deal with  the idea of setting the traps and having one of them actually working and then uh.... releasing it myself or leaving it til the roomie returns....which I think might defeat the whole point of live trapping. (Look, I’m traumatized enough as is already. I don’t need trapping to add to that.)

Jeopardy test is tomorrow. I really don’t need any of this right now.
