A mouse wont hurt you. And he def wont crawl in bed with you. If he sees you, hes gonna run away faster than you.

Now as far as gettin rid of it...set a trap. But be humane.



Sorry to say...several weeks ago I was awaken from a deep sleep by a mouse who was running across my cheek!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I jerked up, it landed on my pillow, I swatted the C_ _P out of him. Didn't see him again. Was so gross, had to get up and scrub my face and after all that I was to awake to go back to sleep.

I have heard that those high pitched (sonic?) things you plug in work pretty well and are humane.



Pest offence!They have a lifetime garentee.Have had one for years,only seen one mouse.And it drowned in water dish out side.They work great!drinks

Well, think of yourselves as advocates for all the women who say they don't need a man. You wanted equal rights, here you got 'em! :laughing:

a mouse in your house is a big deal

mice carry plague and hantevirus

hantevirus is fatal and there is no cure


I live in the middle of a big pasture and every year the mice try to come in looking for shelter and food. I use D-Con and it works every year

you can get it at any hardware store like home depot or lowes

this is what I use. the wedge box. The poison dehydrates them so they leave the house to look for water before they die


EDIT: if you find mouse droppings always wear gloves to clean it up. The droppings is where the hantevirus comes from

D-con works great, the mice just go about their business and then die.

Just sprinkle poison around if ya don't have pets or kids

Trap it and let it go in the nearest woods

Call an exterminater

They usually start coming in when it gets cooler outside

Good luck!

As of July 2007, six states had reported 30 or more cases of Hantavirus since 1993 -

New Mexico (69),
Colorado (49),
Arizona (46),
California (43),
Texas (33),
and Washington (31).

Other states reporting a significant number of cases include
Montana (25),
Idaho (19),
and Utah (24).

With only 7 cases, Oregon has a notably lower attack rate overall and relative to population, compared to other Western states.

because of that I'm afraid of mice

Oh, for Pete's sake! It's a mouse, not Godzilla! Seriously, get yourself a young kittycat. Mine is constantly on the job. There ain't even so much as a bug in my house.

Once you get rid of the pest, make sure you buy some of that expandable foam in a can and seal up all cracks and gaps in your house, paying special attention areas around windows, doors, pipes and wires that enter the home from the outside.

Caulk is cheaper and more effective.

Works for me, we get the occasional mouse, my cats kill them or chase them out.

Yes, they can carry disease, so do humans. You're far more likely to catch a disease from your co-workers than a mouse. It's just a mouse, far more afraid of you than you are of it. There are a million humane traps, there's poison, you can whack it with a pan if you're not squeamish. You can chase it into a corner, throw something over it to scoop it up and put it outside (my preference). Seriously, it's not going to hurt you.

it's not the mouse thats scary. its the deadly diseases that they carry

mouse carried bubonic plague wiped out half the population of Europe

hantavirus is a real fear in the southwest. when they go in to an abandoned building and find mouse droppings it calls for hazmat suits and breathers before they'll go in to clean the building. Hantavirus is deadly and there is no cure

its a every year ritual for me. I live in a trailer in the middle of a pasture with miles and miles of desert all around me. Every spring the mice attack the trailer for ways to get in.

as soon as I find droppings on the foor or behind the cabinet I lay out the D-Con bait. it takes two or three days and then I have no more mice

I will clean the whole house with bleach.

Their is a canyon next to the house so I think it came from there...but if bleach will deter them I am on it! Let them go to a neighbors house.

Why are the guys in here acting like it is no big deal??

I am not fond of any kind of rodent at all. And yeah because I live alone it scares me....I do not think that it is funny. What am I suppose to do...I cant kill it. I can set a trap but even then....when it goes snap ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I will have to call a boy to do it for me. Thats final!




rea i am less than 5 miles from you just send me a message and i will come remove it from the trap
