I recommend the sticky surface trap and a piece of chickenThat's the most inhumane way to go about it.
Cheese to meet youI shouldn't have liked all those RE4 Moushley memes smh
If theres only one, I recommend a humane trap and to release it outside (away from your house/apartment).Then it's either gonna come back or it's gonna be someone else's problem. Mice are vermin that deserve no sympathy. Get some mouse traps and kill all those motherfuckers.
Dealt with this recently. Put snap traps perpendicular to the walls, look up exactly how to place them (forgot if bait should be closer to wall or not). Mice tend to run along walls.Yeah, I heard they run against walls because they don't see well and feel vulnerable in the open floor.
Dont bother with glue traps
Peanut butter works well
If you snag one, use gloves and a plastic bag ew ew ew!
Follow-up question.
Do mice generally have rabies? Like, if one bit me in my sleep without me noticing would that be bad?
Getting some traps later today. Dude I know is bringing them from the hardware store he works at, and he knows how to deal with this kinda shit so hopefully we'll nip this in the bud quick.Don't forget to find and plug the holes. If you don't, more will just keep coming.
Get a catThis kind of depends on the cat, and how squeamish you are. I had a cat growing up that loved to kill mice and leave them outside in spots for people to find. On the other hand, there was a time a neighbor had a cat start living outside near their house. He looked like Fat Bastard in cat form after a couple of months and nobody near us saw a single mouse for months and months, even outside.
However, do not be complacent! They can carry hantavirus, leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV), Tularemia and Salmonella.Yeah, don't get complacent here. Killing things is awful and they are cute, but you don't want them in your home.
