Ok here's the deal. Mouse enters my " safetrap", eats the peanut butter cracker and then ROLLED the trap, opened the door and escaped!
I'm getting a cat!
We had to secure them...like to a chunk of cardboard so they wouldn't turn over. They learn, so it may be a while before you can catch him again in the same type of trap. We battle tree rats out here. They are very smart critters.

The back of a shovel works well too. Quick way and it is over with quick, just put it in the plastic bag before you do the deed.
I used to be not want to kill them, then I had one trapped in a trash can and when I tried to get it out it jumped on my back. My wife still laughs about it to this day.

kinda reminds me of my favorite movie......Christmas Vacation!!!!

the glue traps can be bad in a way. My Aunt had one actually chew its foot off, but still could not get away from the trap

Oh i dont think you should use glue traps. My neighbor used one and caught the mouse, but when they went to pull the mouse off, the legs stayed on the glue board...

Yeah, but still... spoken like a true Okie.

You people are ALL disgusting!
Ripping off legs! .22. Shovel!
Sheesh, for a bunch of scale loving, ecofriendly fish pet people, your all morbid!!
Well, I talked to my neighbor and he said he had the same "problem". So he fired up his grill...no darth, not for a BBQ.
The mouse ran out and never came back.
(about that time, I aquired my mouse pet)
I may try his trick.
But after his last escape from the trap, I had to wash it out and it's been drying. Now it's dry< I will rig it up again for another attempt.
I will win this.

Didn't you call me evil when I suggested that

Well you can stop making CHEESE burgers for one, or you can just feed him and set up a mouse motel and accomodate all of the lords little creatures and help them give birth.......
Oh wait is this REALLY an actual problem? Whatever reason you can't just stomp the little critter into the ground and smear it in with your shoe -- try a container of moth balls or dryer sheets while the grill isn't in use.
I have no problem getting rid of PESTS and yes I do value life but I can still swat a mosquito, use 5 gallons of raid on a cockroach or stop a mouse into the ground.

gross...
Ironically, I don't "value" an animals life, so to speak. I eat meat, and if a falcon swooped down and picked him up, I could care less...
But I just don't have the guts to do it myself...
And meowzer... Yes, your evil.
