Answer 2

humanely?

buy a mousetrap preferably the plastic box tube
put some bait (probably peanut butter or soemthing similar) and set the trap

the trap works by the mouse entering the tube, as it doesz so a flap closes behind. Take the moust out to where you feel happy to release it and do so, wash out the trap rebait and keep settting for sau 2..3 weeks after the last trap. if you can see on mouse there are probably a few more hiding away

it may not actually be a mouse, at this time of year it could be a common garden shrew which is lookign for a cosy place to sleep off the winter

Answer 3

Here's how I caught the critter:

1. Get a toilet paper tube and crease two lines to form a flat sided tunnel.
2. Put a treat on one end of the tube: A cracker and dab of peanut butter works great.
3. Get a tall (at least 20 inches) bucket. A trash can works well.
4. Balance the tube precariously on the edge of a table or counter with the treat hanging directly over the tall sided receptacle.
5. The mouse will scurry to the treat (they like tunnels) and fall into the trap. Set the fella loose at least a mile away from your abode.

Postnote: It worked within the hour.
Also, folks have asked how this could work if you don't have a counter or table. Simple: get a piece of cardboard and crease it to make a ramp up to a small trashcan.

Answer 4

It is not so difficult, I have done it. First you close all the doors so the mouse is limited in where it can go. Then you get down on your hands and knees and stare fixedly at the mouse while waggling your bottom. Then you SPRING and catch the mouse in your hands. The first few SPRINGS you will fall flat on your face, do not worry this is part of the process. Reorient yourself and repeat until you catch him. After 10 or so SPRINGS the mouse will get tired and not be as quick. When you catch the mouse place him gently outside in the garden near some cover.

I know this works as I learned it from my cat and have used it successfully.

Answer 5

You can get humane mouse traps from the pet shop. It is just a box, with a lift up door on the front, put some peanut butter,( yes, beleive it or not, they love it) in the box, the mouse goes in, the door drops down, one captured, but unharmed mouse!

Answer 6

Walmart sells humane plastic traps. However, I had a wild mouse running loose in my apartment for a while, and he completely ignored these traps. I caught him by trapping him in the bathroom, forcing him to hide in the trash basket, and then transferring him to a spare glass tank I had (I was keeping pet mice at the time). Then I set him free in a nearby park. He never came back, and I've been wild-mice-free since. :)

Answer 8

Buy some humane traps and leave them around with bate in! In addition make sure that every crumb is moved from surfaces, this is the time of year when mice move in because it is getting colder! Release any caught mice in country areas

Answer 9

Well dont call the enviromental health because they are not allowed to let them live. I got a squirrel in my loft and the had to kill the wee thing. I think you should get one of those things that make a really loud high pitched noise thats scares them away(dont worry you cant here it). Im not sure where you get them but my aunt used to have trouble with mice and it done the trick.

Answer 10

ewwww MICE!!! Get someones cat shut you and the cat up in the room when the cat catches the mouse then that cat will bring you that mouse, or at least play with it. My cat just plays with them outside for fun, because she only eats catfood. But I'm so afraid of them. One day I was outside sitting on the porch and my cat chased a mouse under my chair, i jumped up in the air, came crashing down as the mouse and cat went under me..lol. Fell through the chair, it hurt so bad. I walked in the house crying and my husband thought I was hurt, I wasn't hurt as much as I was just scared of that mouse. Ewww I hate mice!!!

Answer 11

you need a bucket, a stick and some string and food. place the stick and the bucket and put the food undernerth the bucket aswell when you see the mouse pull the string which is attached to the stick so that the bucket falls on the mouse
