Good morning!
Homeschooling slipped yesterday because of the hearings.
My hubby saw a mouse in our house.

Anyone have tips on ridding us of it while we are waiting?

Play a video tape of Ted Kennedy in each room of the house, being sure to leave all the doors open.

Get several traps....you'll need them.....where there is one....there will be several of his buddies.

Poison, unless you have toddlers in the house.

Hav-a-Hart with peanut butter on a cracker for bait. Never fails :)

Throw it in a pile of burning trash... an old New Mexico tradition.

All I know is that there is a new kind of trap which doesn't let the mouse slip away and perhaps hide and die in the walls of your house. That's the kind you want; someone at Lowes would know.

A little blob of peanut butter on the little traps they sell in every supermarket and convenience store. Biggest problem I ever had with these is that the country mouse often survives with a kink in him. What to do with a live mouse?
However it does kill most of the time. Save the compassion for wild things that do not cross your threshold. For defecating in your cereal and making filthy nests and leaving allergens all over the house that can make your babies very sick---death becomes them.

DE-CON is a safe way to get rid of mice. It is WARFARIN actually - they eat it, then leave your premises to find water and they die. Simple.

If you can get the little critter in the TV room while Biden is talking it may very well get bored to death.

I would suggest you get a cat . BUT we have 3 cats and last year we had to buy a mousetrap to put behind the refrigerator. Don't have a clue as to how it got in the house. The cats just watched it like it was live tv or something. The trap did the trick within 30 minutes after we set it.

Get a cat. Absolutely the BEST way to take care of the problem. Poison you have to worry about the kids getting ahold of, traps mean that someone has to pick up dead or dying mice. I haven't had a mouse in years.

Toss is in a bonfire. Close your doors first.

A mouse in the house? Oh my...try putting a few small snack packs of poison where pets or children can not find them. Keep dog food away...contains the antedote-vitamin K! Also, the varmits usually leave the residence to croak.
FYI-my first contribution made to Freep. Writing this as I listen to a red-faced bloviating senator grilling on C-Span. Thank you for this opportunity to try a reply (very self-conscious).
