To not want to hunt for this mouse in case it rips my throat out?

[StuffingGoldBrass]

I know it's in here. I can hear it. But I am a great big scaredy wuss and can't bring myself to start pushing boxes about in an attempt to flush it out and clobber it.
In case it, you know, attacks...

That's now't. We had RATS (just in the shed)

But I have had mice. Lived with them in harmony for a while when I was young but when they start crapping on your breadboard...

Call in the RodentBusters x

Poledra: *WAAAAAAAAHHH! WAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Would you like some company for it? I can send some over if you like?

(we have around 100 mice and 50 rats in our shed )

Midori aaargh! But I thought you didn't get mice and rats in the same place.

Well, I've had mice in the kitchen (and further afield, judging by the poison in odd places in the house when I moved in) and also one single, very handsome rat (sorry, I poisoned him, still feel bad about that) in said kitchen, but not at the same time, if that helps?

I have no idea whether you do, I breed mine, they are domestic.

We also have some of these:

Now they bite.

Never been bitten by a mouse or rat though.

Just realised - your mouse has kept me up too. eek (eek) going to bed. Make sure you've got your slippers on and put your feet upon a stool for safety.

SGB, my illusions have been shattered, you're actually doing a McKeith!

Getting a small, evil chuckle out of the idea of SGB being scared. Mwaaahhh-haaaa-haaaa!

If it's a rat, you'd better sleep somewhere else tonight. They've been known to come sit on your chest and try to suck your breath while you're sleeping.

Oh wait, maybe that's that myth about cats. That right, rats nibble your lips... especially zombie rats...

gillian mckeith is that you?

Get your hoover out, if you want your mice gone get a dyson

Oh do fuck off, all of you. The wretched thing is still somewhere in the room, every now and then I hear a scuttle and a scratch...

Don't turn your baaaaaaaaaack.... :o

Mice, per se, are amongst the most ferocious of all predators; pay no heed to their..eer... rather, unimpressive size - fierce things come in tiny packages and all that.
My cousins friends aunt had one in her cellar who ripped 5 enormous cats to shreds in a jiffy! Blood and guts everywhere....
Honest!

We have mice all the time even though we have cats.

You can either set a 'humane' trap which doesn't hurt them and just traps them in a little box for you to release them later,

or

A snap trap which kills them instantly by breaking their neck.

I give them a chance first with the humane one, but if they won't go into it, then I set a snap trap.

The cat thing never works. My cats just sit there wondering what's going on.

You should try and catch it though. Mice can nibble through the electrics which can cause a house fire.

May i add, mice 100% DO climb up your trouser legs, i was wearing bootcut jeans at the time, it shot up passed my knee, i had to grab my thigh to stop it going further.. i have never got my trousers off so fast!!!

I kid you not!!!

I would advise a couple of scarves tied around your ankles.. or bicycle clips..

Get a big welly.

If the mouse runs over, scoop it up, and take out to the garden.

I am a veteran of this technique.

I have a spare hunty kitten - do you want me to post him to you?

Hoover woman hoover

HeeHeeHee Runaway s'pose she sucks him up,and he gets jammed in the pipe..

Eeeeeww to a dyson, unbagged mice bits!

Zillions of spiders are eaten by all of us in our sleep - well known factoid.
Apparently same goes for mice Explains the uber-bad breath on some mornings it does.

MEOW.. I eat mice!

I'll come and get it for you, I'm not afraid of anything that small. Pshaw. [burly women emoticon]

Smaller than mice I can understand. If you were cowering from a spider, I might sympathise. But a mouse? Bah!
