to not want to kill this mouse?

[debka]

It cleans up the crumbs under DD's highchair when I am too lazy pregnant to vacuum every day.

one mouse turns into lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots.

Catch it and leave it somewhere miles away, if you cant kill it

They don't clean up their own poo though, do they.

forgot about poo. what eats mouse poo? I'll get one of them :)

they scent mark by constantly peeing on their feet and dabbling it around the house, so crumbs or mouse pee??? I know which I'd rather clear up.

and as I already said on another mouse thread, there is no such thing as a bachelor mouse...there will be a family of them at least.

More likely a Morman family of mice to boot.

Get humane trap. It could be a mummy mouse waiting to pop in some nice cosy corner filled with crumbs and near a nice lady that like to feed them...

i know, i know... will Set the Trap tonight.

You can't housetrain a mouse. They have no sphincters, so can't help leaving a trail of wee.

Mice have no bladder control, they wee constantly, and can transmit Weil's disease. Also, they poo every six minutes (meaning you can work out how many mouse-hours have been spent in your cupboards )
There's a reason they are called vermin you know.
Do you let your baby crawl on the floor that they "clean up"?

(Non-mouse lover here)

Get a roomba

The best thing for clearing up under a highchair is a dog - small and shorthaired obviously so it doesn't create mess of its own or require long walkies. Our nanny said she really missed our dachshund when she moved on to a dogless family.

Every home with a toddler should have one

Kill It!!

They can start house fires by biting through the wiring.

They also pee everywhere and cause smells and disease.

They're cute, but lethal.

Lethal my arse stop falling for scaremongering media of companies that want you to hire them to kill everything that moves and companies trying to sell you cleaning products.

Just catch it in a humane trap and let it out a few miles away in a park or something.

Cut off the food supply (clean up!) and the little fella will soon disappear. Humane traps are great. Please don't kill him!

kill it. we get them in our rafters - TBH think iv heard one last night!

get a cat- that should do the job for you.

I'm a tofu welding, lentil weaving vegetarian, but I say KILL THE FUCKER.

Before you know it your house will stink of mice and you will have mouse shit everywhere, including your beds.

you don't need to kill him to get rid of him. Humane traps are really good, and it's much more pleasant all round to release the little chap.

Im with igetmore KILL THE FUCKERS.

I started a mouse thread a while ago. Someone recommended Rodine, it is bloody fabulous! No more tiny poos all over the place!
And the wiring will be safe too

please dont hurt the mouse.

Save the mouse. It's just a little creature trying to live it's life. We fuck things up for the world a lot more.

I'm a lentil weaver type and bought a humane trap to get rid of the mouse (singular) that was living in our kitchen. After several days of no success and waking up one morning to a mouse running over my arm in bed, I called pest control in. They estimated 15 mice or more from the amount of droppings and holes. Humane trap my arse.

Humane traps aren't ideal anyway - if you let a house mouse free in a field somewhere it'll get eaten or starve to death fairly sharpish. And if you use poison they just die under the floorboards and in cupboards and make the house smell.

Get a cat! They're good at cleaning up food spillages too...
