Best way to get rid of a mouse?

[JetGirl]

Is it a real mouse or a cartoon mouse? Because that's going to change the strategy somewhat.

I wondered if anyone was going to say "cancel the Disney contract"...

Glue trap!

Leave a nice cheese buffet for him and spike said cheese with the poison of your choice. Unless you have other pets.

Plan B, I hear Bengal Tigers are good at that kind of stuff. Might mess your house up a bit though.

We always put cooled down bacon grease on the trap. It's really hard for them to lick it all the way off without putting pressure down.

Plus you get to make bacon!

Just put alot of traps out along known routes of travel, and it's a waiting game.

Overkill, 870 tactical!

Don't you have a really big dog?

No need for a mongoose if you've got access to a honey badger. After the honey badger takes care of the snakes, just leave out some pistachios.

honey badger just dont care lol

That's what I want to know...how did Barney react to it? Did he react like he does when you turn off the lights?

Block any access holes that the mouse may be using or you will have many more. Put down some D-con. It has the same active ingredients as the Professional stuff but a bit diluted. Do some trigger work on those mouse traps so that they trip easier. If the mouse is taking the bait then you should be able to trap him.

Trigger work - that's great.

Traps didn't work well enough for me (mice got too smart), but a few boxes of D-Con did the trick.

A ex-buddy of mine had field mice, but went the .17 route. I asked him once why his drop ceiling looked like swiss cheese.....
Guy was clueless about firearm safety. Only invited him along to the range ONCE.....shot a round over me and another guy's heads when we were downrange changing targets. He thought it was freaking hilarious until the other guy, who was still carrying, pulled on him. My ass was in the dirt ducking. Range officer almost felt sorry for him after we finished dressing him down over that. Didn't stop the RO from adding another 15 minute lecture, though.
What a freaking idiot.

World’s Best Mouse Trap (The Bucket)

it works.

I second this post. The bucket trap works and it's cool cause you get to "engineer" it.

Pro Tip - Put antifreeze in the bucket, kills the little buggers faster. But keep your dog away from it.

This works for gophers as well.

We get a mouse or two each winter. D-con in the attic, where it is hard to retrieve a trap, and regular old traps w/ peanut butter otherwise. Seems to work pretty well.

The Decon stuff in your living space with the dog and the resulting dead mouse rotting somewhere, I would probably not do that.
