It had eluded me for a while I tried all manners of traps and none worked. But a few days ago I set down a glue trap and lo and behold this evening as I went into the kitchen sitting on my counter stuck in the glue trap was the mouse. He looked up at me with beady eyes and struggled to escape. I chucked him, trap and all, into the garbage.

Was it humane? Probably not! Am I going to lose some sleep over it? gently caress no that little bastard made my life a living hell with his feces and piss all over my counter.

Rot in hell you little bastard

I live in the middle of the country. It's a field mouse. My house is old and has a million ways for the varmints to get back in.

Killing is the only option for these mice.

That's pretty lovely to just let it die of thirst glued awkwardly while in panic. You could put it in a ziploc bag and freeze it to death in a freezer, easy and not messy. Or drown it, a little less humane, but good if your freezer is full of hot pockets.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Could've stomped on it first, at least.

I closed up the trash bag so it will probably suffocate in a few hours.

Jainism, traditionally known as Jaina Shasana or Jaina dharma (Sanskrit: जैन धर्म), is an Indian religion that prescribes a path of ahimsa - nonviolence - towards all living beings, and emphasises spiritual independence and equality between all forms of life. Practitioners believe that nonviolence and self-control are the means by which they can obtain liberation. Ascetism is thus a major focus of the Jain faith. The three main principles of Jainism are Ahimsa (Non-Violence), Anekantvad (Non-Absolutism) and Aparigraha (Non-Possessiveness).

Jainism is one of the oldest religions in the world. Jains traditionally trace their history through a succession of twenty-four propagators of their faith known as tirthankaras with Rishabha as the first and Mahāvīra as the last of the current era.

Jainism is a religious minority in India, with 4.2 million adherents, and there are immigrant communities in Belgium, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and the United States. The population of the Jain community across the world is around 6.1 million.

Whenever I catch a mouse in a glue trap I cut its head off with scissors. I know this seems like a fakepost because that guy made the gross GBS confession about killing all the baby mice the same way but its the only way I can think of to get a guaranteed no effort instant kill on the mouse in the glue trap. I won't let anyone just chuck them in the trash because watching the animal struggle and break its own limbs trying to escape the hosed up glue trap is too much for me.

I bought a snail trap for my garden that is basically a big pool of beer that you bury in your flowerbeds.

I keep finding dead mice in it, but I don't feel too guilty because I figure drowning in beer is a pretty good way to go.

I live in an old brick house and I have to deal with deer mice, so jaw traps are the only way to go. They escape live traps; they go in, eat the bait, poop, then leave.

I walked in right after one went into the live trap, which is when I figured out it was deer mice that had been eluding me, rather than house mice. I emptied the trap into a 5 gallon bucket, figuring he could not escape that, so I could walk him across the street and let him go. He paused, looked me straight in the eye, and ran in a helix pattern up the inside of bucket and jumped about 4 feet in the air and into the brush. I bought jaw traps the next day.

They work really well, one of them I only baited with peanut butter once, a year ago, and it still catches them. There was one incident where the mouse got his face smashed instead of his neck broken and luckily I was there to mercy kill him.

I've sealed the house in several places but they always get in during the fall months. It's an 90+ year old house and I think they dig around the window wells and get in through a gap between the foundation and the upper floor. Thankfully I'm just renting.

Do not use live traps for house mice. When I first moved in a saw right away the place had house mice and I already had live traps. So I set them up right away. House mice will keep going into the trap even when there's several dead mice inside it already, and for some reason they die/decay insanely fast. The good thing is I got rid of them fast, but they all died horrible deaths, unfortunately.

I had a dead mouse in a glue trap, it's organs were splayed out on it. It was trying so hard to escape, that it literally tore it self open.
Kinda sad.

One night I got woken up by a scratching sound - I heard it coming from the vent, it was a mouse trying to climb out but due to the slope it kept falling down making little banging sounds. I said "too early for this" and went back to sleep.

I've probably killed over 1000 mice in the last year (for science) and don't feel a thing. Those fuckers will cannibalize the poo poo out of each other if they sense weakness.

They also eat their own poop.

p sure the point of live traps is that you empty them while the mouse is still alive. no one's going out looking to by a rodent mausoleum.

there's an abandoned grocery store half a mile away, i usually take them out there so they can hang out in the sewer pipes
