There's a mouse in my house

There's a small black mouse living in our kitchen. I've seen it a couple of times now.

I don't want to tell the landlord because he'll call in the exterminators but one of my flatmates is a Dad and we don't want one of his kids to put his hand in rodent poo when he comes to visit.

Has anyone else had this problem and found a humane way to get rid of them that works? I don't want to johnwoo

I just want to kick it out of my house!

Anyone got any experience I can benefit from?

You know what Daned? next time you see him, tell him he's not welcome anymore, to pack his bags and get going mister! If you dont, he''ll be eating you out of house and cheese. If that doesn't work...you can buy one of those humane mousetraps, that trap the mouse in a box, I have never used one but I've seen them and they should be easily available!

Why not keep it as a pet?

Or get poisonous rodent pellets that will kill it. Plus see where it goes, there might be a family or 2 as they multiply like rabbits. Plug up holes and put some of those lethal pellets in those holes - good luck.

IAmTheTouch	in the States, PETA sells a humane mouse trap, and they work great - check the UK PETA site, they should have it. i've often wondered whether the mouse and rat poison they sell could not also kill a cat or bird of prey who eats that mouse - or at least be bad for their health...

Yeah, that's my worry. We don't have any pets but I'm afraid my flatmate Phil might crawl in drunk one night and lick the poison. Might make the place tidier, though. Hmmm.
