There's a MOUSE IN my Hoover

[Svrider]

Yes really
It's one of those with a see thru cyclone
It's squeaking

[Svrider]

Realises irony of posting in good house keeping

[MrsBucketxx]

I woukd take it in the hoover, and drive to a park and let it go.

dont let it out in the garden it will be back in the house before you know it.

[BabyRoger]

I would faint too.

Then I wold do what MrsBucket says.

[BabyRoger]

would - not wold (traumatised at thought of mouse in hoover).

[Svrider]

Ok so I've put the whole thing outside, awaiting dh return from work
I actually feel sick
Does this mean I can legitimately buy a new dyson (and mouse traps obv)

[ArbitraryUsername]

Don't leave it outside. The mouse will get out and get straight back in your house. You need to drive it miles away and release it into the wild.

^^



It's the animal liberation party you need to worry about...

[custardismyhamster]

When you next see it it'll be surrounded by cats

Will mouse suffocate? If so we need to remove mouse way before DH comes home or it's just mean

[FairyJen]

It's going to get out like that so your best just releasing it so as not to be cruel really. Remember it will be far more scared of you than you are of it.

On a side note tho its very rare to have a single mouse in the house...

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

Just release the poor thing and pretend you didn't see it;)

[stands on chair and squeals while wearing frilly pinny]

[VivaLeBeaver]

Take the pick out bit of the Dyson down the park. When you get there take the lid off, job done.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Its times like this you really need a Jack Russell.

[bamboozled]

No, it will get out of the top hole that let's the air in if she just takes the cylinder but...

[ThatVikRinA22]

go and empty your hoover in the park.....dont let it die. please

if you are near me i will grab it - im always rescuing live mice off my cat!

[bamboozled]

Also, don't tell dadsnet that a dyson has the sucking power to gather a mouse - or they'll all end up in A&E with embarrassing injuries.....

[NomNomDePlumPudding]

if you don't want to go as far as the park, just walk up the street with it and let it go. but don't release it in your garden, it'll be straight back in. i wouldn't leave it in the hoover all day, that seems cruel to me. not as cruel as borrowing a jack russell though (Viva )

[ThatVikRinA22]

i think it might die if you dont let it out - the clue is "vacuum" - probably wont have much air in the dust bag thingy.....

[THERhubarb]

Just open the hoover and then run away.

It's just a mouse. I have to deal with plenty of dead ones in my loft.
It won't run at you or attack you. It just wants to get out. So just open the whatsit and it will make its own way out.

If you don't it will slowly die and imagine how bad you will feel then?

[Arithmeticulous]

You have to decide what is going to be worse to deal with: a mouse in your dyson, or a dead mouse in your dyson.

The latter for me - let it out! Take the whole thing to the bottom of the garden, get a stick (always better with a stick) and take off the reachable bit. Open the end and shake (tuck your trousers into your socks first). Drop it and run screaming
Go back in 5 minutes.a

[IslaValargeone]

arf@'apologies to anyone on the feminist board'

Agree with the others, let it out in the garden.
Did you suck it up, or did it find its way in somehow?

[Svrider]

Ok, so mouse was still alive on dh's return
Neither of us could face killing it
We've let it out at the very bottom of the garden (by we I mean he obv.)
He's sterilising Hoover now
Mouse traps tomorrow tho


Also eeewwwwwwww

[IslaValargeone]

Not the garden then, but don't let it suffocate.

[Svrider]

Isla it was already in the Hoover I think
Hoover is kept in garage
