Buy a Jamie Oliver video and play it repeatedly overnight - the mouse will soon fuck off :)

I guess try traps or poison. Then try to seal up any holes - the little buggers can squeeze through the TINIEST space.

There were mice in this house when I moved in. We never had mice at home because of all our cats so I was BUGGED about it, esp when one ran across the top of my printer. I brought Mama Cat (aka Babydoll) over - was going to anyway after I got settled. I came home from work soon after and there was one presented to me in the middle of the floor of the living room. About a month later I smelled this SMELL...you know...death...I never found the source but BabyDoll seemed very pleased with herself for a few days. Then a few mos later she presented another one to me. She was such a fantastic cat. I miss her SO much.

ANYWAY...back to your story...there's no way of sneaking a cat in there?

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D anita

Open all doors and windows, whack 'Rest Of' on full blast leave it on repeat and go shopping for a couple of hours, get back and hey presto it will have scarpered with its tail between its legs quicker than you can say "Retro's hidden tracks"

Only had that problem once, and a trap worked quite well. I was more than a bit surprised, however, for when I baited and set the trap, it was no more than 15 minutes later when I heard the THWACK! Since I had a couple of female roommates at the time, they insisted that I place the trap inside a small paper bag so they wouldn't have to look at it. I felt kinda bad when I looked in the bag and saw two little baby mice.

mouse update

closed bedroom door as girlfriend scared.

during night she wakes me up because there is scratching at the door, this morning woke to find that the carpet had been clawed at & there was a little ball of fluff from the fibres taht had been removed!

decided to leave telly on timer & we had debate about what channel the mouse would like least! snooker was ruled out because ofthe small random movements of the ball, went for channel five in the end - extreme sports, football, motorcross etc - decided mice didn't like sport!

Move

get the mouse to meet up with you over tea and biscuits and discuss the problem.

well, if ya got chunky peanut butter over there, that will work. or you can hire me, because i love to do them in with the back of my boots; actually, i sneak up on them, no joke

tricky thing is figuring out where they are! know that they want to come into my room at nihht time cos i can hear them scratchuing at the door, but as to where they go at day time...

Originally posted by almanso put Republic. search for Chemical. put the speakers in the mice direction. turn up the volume. and run!!!! be careful because it could be lethal for you too

If Chemical is not enough, try with Spooky (Magimix), Crystal (Lee Combs remix) and BLT (Armand Van Helden mix)...played at the maximum volume are mass destruction songs.

mass destruction songs? i want mouse destruction songs!

Step 1. Visit DIY store. Step 2. Buy traps and pellets for £50 total Step 3. Go home and set them up. Step 4. Find mouse in trap and throw out rodent Step 5. Smell rotting mouse and figure pellets work Step 6. Move year later & find dead rotted mice in sofa Step 7. Heave as you have to remove the sloppy carcasses Step 8. Throw sofa out as girlfriend has spotted you Step 9. Fork out on brand new sofa for as much as you like Step 10. Slap headin horror hearing midnight scratches....

Bite the heads off them and then throw them into the middle of the road. This apparently guarantees an Arsenal victory.

Be very wary that the mice aren't hatching a plan to get rid of you.

Remember, more humans have been killed by rodents than by any other thing in history.

It isn't by chance - they don't like us.

And what's worse, they hate sausage meat.

Thats a good point Huntsy. I was cornered the other day by three of them and one of them pulled a knife on me. Was really quite lucky to escape with just a beating.

Your info is out of date. friendly fire took over from hipppos at either 4:15 or in about 1:30mins depending on whether or not it's still winter near you.

The Desert Rats ... think about it.

Nobody mention the war! I just did but I think I got away with it.

Yes, let's not mention it.
