So, we are renovating our old and decrepit house. This includes the fact that we have no floorboards in a part of our bedroom. Two nights ago I woke up to hear scratching coming from the floorboards and after lying awake staring at the floorboards I saw a mouse run out of the hole in the floor and into our wardrobe! I screamed at dh along the lines of 'mouse in wardrobe' and dh launched gallantly in his birthday suit across the room and slammed shut the wardrobe. Mouse is now trapped in wardrobe.....not sure what the thought was but said mouse has now been scratching for 48 hours in the wardrobe, we got two humane traps yesterday and put them in the wardrobe in the hope that it would go in it. Dh wants to 'kill the little rodent bastard' as he starts a new job on Monday and mouse is keeping us awake.... It's probably eating all our clothes and the thought of it being in our wardrobe is grotesque.
My mum is staying the night and is bringing her rodent ripping lurcher tonight..... So dilemma is do I feed the mouse some water and try and do this humanely or do I be the evil witch and let it get lurched / die of dehydration (whilst eating my wardrobe) ......
