Why wait until tomorrow... go tonight!!!

It's just a mouse. Very small and very harmless. You need to spend time clearing up the mess and mouse proofing your food cupboard.

HumphreyCobbler · 14/01/2013 21:52

try to relax

the little buggers climbed up my Christmas tree last year and ate my orange slices Grin

we caught ten in traps

Mouse are cute unlike rats. Seriously get a cat or borrow one and job done. Pita for you though as its unbelievable how small a hole a mouse can get through.

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 14/01/2013 21:54

It's a mouse. A mouse. Not a dinosaur, a lion or a giant cobra. Now step down off the chair please.

Mytwobeautifulgirls · 14/01/2013 21:54

If it keeps eating your food it will be easier to spot cos it will be a tubby mouse.

chrissydthatsme · 14/01/2013 21:55

Yanbu. I'd be worried that one of the buggers might crawl up my leg Shock

Mytwobeautifulgirls · 14/01/2013 21:55

Get your dp to put down traps, and go to your mums for a ocuple of weeks.

Get your dp to clean the kitchen while your gone, to wipe down surfaces with dettol and transfer all food stuff that's in bags into airtight containers (pound shop is your friend here).

I feel your pain op, I hate mice too, they give me the creeps.

Also, get a cat.

wonkylegs · 14/01/2013 21:56

Its only a teeny tiny mouse.
Buy some traps, bate them with peanut butter. Then scrub your kitchen and try to work out how they got in an block it.
It's not fun but it is necessary. I had a furry visitor a couple of weeks ago... He had a taste for DSs gingerbread house.
Put traps down and caught him that night. Haven't caught any since and there were no further signs of furry infestations so I think he was lonesome and had a taste for badly iced gingerbread.

littlewhitebag · 14/01/2013 21:56

I think you will find it is more terrified of you and will not come near you to even try and bite you.

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 14/01/2013 21:56

Hey, OP! ROAARRRRR!!

Mytwobeautifulgirls · 14/01/2013 21:56

I'm so glad we have 4 cats and a dog. A mouse wouldn't survive 5 seconds in our house!

Get a cat :)

Mytwobeautifulgirls · 14/01/2013 21:58

I'm gone until that beast is caught. I'm sure they carry diseases too. I know dp will be pissed off with me staying away but sorry it has to be done.

OP posts:
HeadfirstForHalos · 14/01/2013 21:59

It will be terrified of humans and the last thing it will want to do is go for a rummage up your trouser leg.

Mytwobeautifulgirls · 14/01/2013 21:59

I know my dog needs to get her act together and catch the little blighter

The mouse is high on sugar and flour.

Your DP will be no match.

cookielove · 14/01/2013 22:02

Now remember the golden rule when it comes to mice:

ITS NOT WHERE THEY NIBBLE, ITS WHERE THEY DRIBBLE

No bladder control those pesky little mice!! Grin

Mytwobeautifulgirls · 14/01/2013 22:04

ha cookie when I opened that door I thought smells funny then saw bits of ripped paper and poo. Sad bloody things! I hope it is only one and not a whole family.

My cat brings them in alive and forgets about them. We had one sitting by the cat food dish cleaning its whiskers! I caught it in a box and put it in the field.

fuzzywuzzy · 14/01/2013 22:38

My friends cat does this

earlgreyplease · 14/01/2013 23:13

Mice are so cute, but I don't want them in my kitchen either. Once u have cleaned up buy some pure peppermint oil and leave cotton wool balls soaked in the oil all around your kitchen where the mice are likely to bee ie behind cupboards and units. They hate the smell and will never come back while they can smell mint. Don't let the kids get it tho, the oil is v strong and will sting eyes etc.
