Woohoo!! Finally caught my mouse!
Little guy/gal has been scurrying around my kitchen for days. Now s/he's off to a nice new home in Tilden Park.

God speed, little mouse. And stay out of kitchens!

5. How could anyone hurt a cute little mouse?


I actually make sure to release them all in the same spot so they can find their friends. I know it's silly, but they've lived here a lot longer than I have.

13. aw that's great!
making sure they carry on their little lives and maybe even find old family :loveya: I'd have to do that too, but the only mouse I've seen here was a dead one that one of my cats presented to me.. unfortunate little thing, probably tortured to death, cats are cruel.

8. That works, too
When my girlfriend brings her cats over for a visit, the mice stay away for a couple of weeks. Luckily, her cats are a bit old to be taking on anything that can still move on its own.

10. You'd have less of a mouse problem if you would just take a few precautions.

Finding the way they're getting in and blocking it off is the advice most experts would give but I think in your case the problem is that the word in Tilden Park is that your place is the Mouse Gourmet Ghetto.

12. Ha. My place is always gonna be Chez Panisse for them
First off, I my house is 90 years old and has a light breeze with the windows closed. Also, I share my home with two parrots who love to fling their food. Unless I hefty-bag the whole house and sweep 8 times a day, the mice are going to be here.

15. The trap is set and waiting.
Since it's raining, I expect to be making a few more deliveries to Tilden in the next couple days.
