He's BACK!!!!! I woke up early this morning and heard a strange sound in my kitchen, right. I look at the floor and there is a styrofoam cup that once held capuccino...and it's moving. I go to pick it up and the little bastard darts out...stares at me...I SWEAR he was laughing...and bolted behind my stove. Poof! Gone. I don't know whether to love him or kill him!

OMG! I just read back on this thread; he has been around awhile! I had a couple in my garage-set up a trap and they would eat the peanut butter or cheese and somehow get away! I finally gave up. Haven't seen one. That would freak me right out having one in the house. I heard those mice hotels work great. Lure him in, and no cleanup. Bye, bye, mouse. I had one crawl over my face as a kid at our camp in the Adirondacks. Scared me half to death. Hope you get him! Or her, before she reproduces!!

Well...that's my fear, see? I can't take on a rodent family . I really DON'T have the heart to kill the guy though. He's kinda' cute and seems to have a crazy sense of humor. (cues Michael Jackckson singing "Ben".)

Hi funny girl.the sunbeam plug in units work well toooooooooooo.save me all ur buddies for fishin.you catch catch em,i fish em.

we caught one and named it kellogs,great pet

Funny story - my uncle wakes up one night and traps a "rat" (we're talking 3 pounder here) in the guest bedroom at his house, so he grabs the Colt 45 sixgun which resides under my aunts pillow which is loaded with rat-shot.

Six times he hits this rat with the 45LC rat-shot (as he his quite expert with any firearm) but the rat doesn't die, but instead is now bleeding ALL OVER THE BEDROOM lookin desperately for an exit....

Well uncle decides enough is enough and runs back to the guncabinet and loads the sixgun up with live 250grn LC rounds..... he blew 2 four and one-half inch holes in the baseboards of the bedroom and spent almost 800 bucks having the room repaired and getting all the blood clean'd outta the bedspread, curtains and off the walls.....

Vermin beware: you'll get no sympathy at my uncles house.

true story - my aunt actually tossed that sixgun in grandpaws pond a few months later while my uncle was teaching me to fan it and shoot coke cans in the air; as she'd never shot it before.... when she did, the recoil cause it to smack her right between the eyes, (which of course had us laughing so hard I spotted) - took me a half hour to fish it out....

LMAO! Now I have "Ben" singing in my head. My first drive-in movie with my parents. Still remember it.

You can't kill him now that I listened to that??!!??

I know!

I had a mouse. Opened the caninet and it looks up at me, waves and went back to sniffing around. Cute I thought. notice past tense. Within 2 months, his whole family was buying tickets to move in. Buy some peppermint oil and pour it on cotton balls, spread them where ytou find holes. or get someone to get rid of it. You may think you're seeing the same mouse but you're not. They have babies every 6 weeks. Seriously...Sorry to sound so hard but learned the hard way.

Call your local SPCA and see if they have a small hav-a-hart, live trap. Put it in one of his pathways, and see if you can catch 'em that way.

I've caught several large rats in the one we use for possums and coons, but they do actually have even smaller traps.

A friend of mine has one. He says I can borrow it!

Try the glue traps, he will get his paws stuck, be totally dependent on you, and never leave you broken hearted.

Have you tried to use diplomacy?
Maybe you can reason with it in some way

We are in litigation right now!

I would sue the mutha fr right now if I were you. It starts with giving them cheese, it ends with...

Any sightings of the little critter??

They all had a party while u were at work.They had CHEETOS,and DR PEPPER. you might find them relaxing in the SUNSET.

To the top!

That Bastard!!! I'm packing my books to move, right? That little beast has been living in my library, man. He ate half of Naked Lunch!!!! He saw me...I saw him. We locked eyes. I SWEAR he laughed at me again. Then he bolted......

At least he's well educated. Maybe he'll make a Mingle profile and steal my posts....

I wonder what kind of username we could use for the little rodent
