VARSITY
Man versus mouse. I seek your alliance in this war.

My dining room has a little sitting area, and I was sitting there the other night in a big comfy upholstered chair. The light was off in the main part of the dining room, and suddenly out of the corner of my eye I saw a dark flash run by on the floor. It was either a mouse or a spider that was so large and fast that I'd have to move and burn the house down.

I went into full wartime mode and tried to hunt it down, but it disappeared. My concern was that when I saw it, it was headed directly for a large floor vent and that's the only place it could have gone.

I told the wife, but there was little we could do without knowing what type of Predator had invaded our world.

Well, tonight the wife was sitting in a different chair in the sitting area, and suddenly a mouse flashed by on the floor. She sounded the alarm and we went into high alert. She said that it had run underneath the large comfy upholstered chair. I got my bazooka and a bayonet and looked under the chair and once again the mouse was nowhere to be found.

She had been watching the whole time and said that it didn't come out from under the chair, so with great trepidation I drew a conclusion. If it didn't leave and it's not under the chair, then...

I flipped the chair on its side, and sure enough there were three holes that were chewed into the bottom of the lining.

It's in the chair! The call is coming from the chair!



We immediately dragged the chair out onto the back porch, despite the fact that it's an expensive chair and it's snowing and Von Miller lives in our city.

So what do I do now? We've got a mouse living in our chair, and we can't guarantee that it's one mouse. It's possible that there's a different mouse living in the ductwork and we can't guarantee that it's one mouse. But then again, all of this could just be one mouse. It's been warm and just got cold, so it's possible that an outside mouse somehow got in temporarily.

How do you get mice out of a house, and how do you get mice out of a chair? This is not the type of chair that you just throw away. This chair is the chair of royalty. I've called an exterminator, but is there anything else I can do?

The thing that worries me is that I saw a mouse last year in our kitchen. We bought a bunch of traps and put them out, but never caught anything. However, we never saw any mice other than the one time. But now I'm wondering if the mouse/mice has been in our house the whole time, watching us and waiting for its chance to attack.

Watch some mousetrap monday on youtube for other ideas.

For mice that are tough to catch, bait the trap and don't set it. Leave it out for a few days and then re-bait and set it again. The mice get comfortable with the trap and when they come for a free meal...SNAP!
Even the toxic baits won't hurt "critters" that eat the mice. They'd have to eat hundreds of them.

Oh I agree. Cats all have their very own personality. It's why I like them more than dogs. All of my mom's cats like to play with the mouse before murdering it though.

Years ago I lived in an apartment in an old building in Chicago. We had a serious mouse problem. Little bastards were everywhere, and traps proved ineffective.

Then, we got a cat.

The morning after we got her, I was walking through the dining room and saw something on the floor, grayish, slick looking, about the size of my thumb. It was a dead mouse. The cat had chewed the mouse's legs off and skinned it. Skinned it like a hunter. Never did find the missing fur. Maybe she ate it, and left the carcass as a gift to me/warning to others.

She was sitting about three feet away from her prize with what I could only describe as a satisfied look on her face, as if she was saying "you won't be seeing any more of those ****ers." And we never did.

Our outdoor cats love to bring them up to the front door and leave them on the welcome mat. Usually with a head missing.

Same here. I had a box in the garage the cat was staring down into so I knew there was something in there. She reached in with one paw and started diggin and all of a sudden a mouse came flying out and ran under the truck with the cat in hot pursuit. 10 seconds later she came out from under the truck with the mouse in her mouth. She ran back over to the box and dropped it in and sat down waiting for it to happen again.

Don't use sticky traps, unless you feel like dropping a cinder block on a squealing mouse that's starving to death.

We had a mouse infestation until we got the house repainted and holes patched. Set this up.

Caught 24 mice between that and snap traps.

Try a snap trap or make your own trap.

Put some peanut butter on the middle of pvc pipe and smear a little bit on the ramp. Also add about 5 or 6 inches of water in the bucket. Best mouse trap I've ever used and easy to make.

I drown them. It's more humane than letting the little fella starve on the trap. Snap traps don't always kill them immediately either. There really isn't a perfect method of getting rid of them without a bit of suffering. If the suffering bothers you then cats are the last method you want to use. Cats can torture them for up to an hour.
