    i have a little mouse that runs around my kitchen at night. i suppose i really have more than one, but i dunno, i definitely have at least one. how should i go about catching that little bastard? never had mice before.

    do those snaptraps work? what about sticky paper? bait? i have heard that peanut butter works.

    what about poison? wouldnt poison make the guy die up in the wall and stink up the joint?

    any mice killin advice?

    if the glue trap works, will i have to bludgeon the mouse to death with a hammer? even though i pretend to be without a soul, it hurts my feelings a little bit to kill things. the spring snap trap seems would do the killing for me i guess.

    yep. or a car. one ran under my car just as i was backing into the garage a couple of months ago. i had a mouse pancake in my garage until greenie got home to clean it up. i hope it served as a warning to all other little field mice to not even think of coming near my house!

    depends. more than likely it will be alive since you will be checking it everyday.

    if you know a friend with a boa he'd be glad to take a no legged mouse once you pull it off the paper.

    you will need to weigh down the paper when you set it or else you will just have a really noisy mouse.

    they prefer crunchy? i don't blame em.

    you gotta be more specific dude, you mean sticky trap or old school snaptrap? i like the idea of the snaptrap because they are retro-cool.

    I realize it can be bleached and cleaned, but my stomach is much too weak to even think about prepping food in there after something like that.
