  • A moose in the hoose

    I have a mouse in the house (kitchen) in case my title threw you completely off the scent.

    Can anyone recommend a humane trap?

    It’s a shame it’s not a fox in the box as we could do with one of those

      Best I can do is a mouse I’m afraid.

        Sod the humane traps, let the critter go and it will come back with its mates for a party.
        Poison or classic trap, use cereal, nuts or chocolate for bait - not cheese.

          I was going to let it go a long way from the house. May take him to the next home game, he may bag us a goal.

            Wait for the mouse and catch it with your hands, they're not that quick. When i was a kid we used to catch field mice by putting a load of cereal in a milk bottle. Mice are greedy and will stay in the bottle until they have emptied it, they end up twice their size, can't get out of the bottle and fall asleep. It worked for me!

              Had one in the bedroom years ago. Thinking it was safe and hiding it clung to the cable from the bedside lamp. My Mrs managed to grab it by the tail and threw it out of the window. It never came back.
              I was supervising from the other side of the room 🙂

                I'm not surprised that it never came back after being lobbed out of the window. No way to treat a guest, although i've thought about it, especially the in laws.

                    Thanks for the advice. Going to get a trap tomorrow and let my brother In laws Jack Russell free. Loves to hunt a rodent apparently

                            Order of life and all that. Going to try the Jack Russell but If that doesn’t work I’ll let one of the cats in that try to constantly get in my house.

                              problem was we couldn't get the mouse free from the cat ...he didn't kill it but freaked out when we tried to free the little thing
