I have mice or a mouse it's horrid and im scared I hate them with a passion and ick ick ick

I don't know what to do like how do i kill it humanely or just get rid of it I am so not going to sleep tonight

[FabulousMike]

You can get some humane traps that will catch them so you can set them free somewhere nice for them..

[random.swirls]

I dont think i could set it free im horribly phobic of them urgh can they climb will they be able to get into my bed urgh

[random.swirls]

Or into my food cupboards i am so freaking out

[FabulousMike]

Something like these..Trap 1, Trap 2.

I've never tried them so I can't say if they are any good or not.

[FabulousMike]

I won't lie they will be able to get into your bed and food areas but you are safe as they won't bite or hurt you.

[random.swirls]

Oh god they can climb well that would be true as i am on the 2nd/3rd floor

[FabulousMike]

They could have gone up the stairs, I also hear they can go up drain pipes.

Oh god it doesnt like music but light doesnt faze it and it;s hiding by my door :(

[talaiporia]

See if you can trap it in a box. Maybe put some food inside?
Our cat used to bring in live mice all the time as 'presents'. We'd catch them in a box, and wait until the cat had gone, and let it go.

That could work it's just it's late and i dont really have any boxes and could only put it outside my front door

It doesnt like noise so i think im going to put my laptop on a 2 day spotify playlist in my hallway and hope that that works!

Is there anyone that you can ask to come round to help? I had one in my last flat but it just disappeared and I was going to be moving out soon but I am TERRIFIED of them. I did the mature and independent thing and phoned my mum and dad. I'm not ashamed, but I was bawling my eyes out down the phone. Get someone to help you block any holes or gaps in the flat. Even though it's late, I hope you can phone someone for help because I know how scary it feels. Maybe you can get someone else to do the traps and stay over at a friends. I really share your fear of them and hope it gets sorted. xx

I have no one :(

I wish I did but urgh

[Cacoethes]

a mouse ran up my trousers once, i was wearing jogging bottoms so luckily i could just reach down and grab it. it was hilarious, but it bit me so the nurses said i had to get a tetanus

the resident cat only has three legs, but she is amazingly fast!!

my only suggestion would be, get a cat!

Put your food in plastic airtight sealed boxes. If you have no food it can get to then it won't bother coming in. You should probably go see the neighbours to let them know as well, because you might all need to work together on this.

[Palladion]

Why do you have to kill it? Get a humane trap, and release it somewhere further away from your house - sorted, if you can't release it because of your phobia i'm sure you must have a friend or a neighbour that can spare 2 seconds to open the box and let it go.
In the meantime inspect all your food if any of it looks like it's been nibbled on throw it away, seal the rest of it in boxes and keep it in cupboards that are higher up until you know the mouse has gone.

[Gone.]

Did you manage to sort your mouse problem, Cam?

[random.swirls]

Not yet but I am alive!

I barricaded myself into my room like a professional but now I'm waiting for builders and yuck....

[crazykat]

I have no advice but I hope it goes away for you soon Cam

We had mice in our house a few years ago. I love rodents so I liked seeing them but obviously they couldn't stay but luckily it was timed well as 2 days after seeing the mice, we got our cat!
