Elusive mouse.

I daren't go in the lounge to see if we've caught the mouse in the new humane trap I bought.
The sight of a mouse wriggling about in cage will send me bananas... I'm waiting for Tony to get up & go see......

Oh it wont be dead then?Poor thing must be lonely with no mates,unless there's lots of babies somewhere indoors.

Poor thing

[caroljoyce]

He hasn't been tricked by the humane trap. The mouse is still at large.
I don't know what to do to get rid of it. Couldn't use a glue trap - too cruel.....

[caroljoyce]

Poor thing

Save your sympathy widget - he's still free.

I think the mouse is David,he watching you.

I wonder how he got in and if he is able to get out easily. Perhaps then you could drive him out with noise, e.g. a sonic doodah.

I'm so sorry CJ, I couldn't stand knowing that was in my kitchen ......... I hope you despatch it very soon.

Why not ring the council Carol?. There could be a nest of them somewhere.
They will probably charge you about £50 but it would be worth it to know that a professional has been to sort the situation out.

[caroljoyce]

Aw Maisie - I'm not paying £50 to get rid of one little mouse.

[Maywalk]

How do you KNOW there is only one Carol.???????????

[caroljoyce]

No droppings no mess and he is particularly dark coloured for a mouse.
We recognise him.

[Maywalk]

Do you have a cat Carol?

[caroljoyce]

Aw Maisie - what a question!! I don't think I'd be having this bother if we had a cat!!

No I can't borrow one - My daughter Sue has a lovely cat - he's always dropping mice on her doorstep but he doesn't like being in strange houses..

Maisie, poor little mouse stop gunning for him, he is only 1 little mouse, and I'd rather have that than a cockroach.
