There’s one of those little nasty fuckers running around my room every day. I’ve removed all food to only the refrigerator and freezer and cleaned my house
Get a cat
cats are useless. OP needs to get some poison
I disagree. Ive had at least one cat since i was 6 and i havent seen a mouse since like ‘05. I can understand not wanting a pet, and in that case a trap or poison is best
Something good came out of it then.
Cats Are Surprisingly Bad at Killing Rats
Over a 79-day period, feral felines killed just two rats, instead opting to hunt less challenging prey

1) As others said get a cat BUT you need to get an independent cat. An outside cat. A cat with balls. If you get a kitten and baby the kitten it is going to grow up and be afraid of mice and rodents and run away from them and cry and be a useless little pussy bitch
2) Sticky traps. The extra duty sticky traps catch mice in the paper. If you are squemish then don't use this method because the mice will get stuck on the paper and if they try to run away their feet will fall off their body. My Mom uses these at her job and then the janitors come and get the mice and kill them with a hammer then throw them away. They definitely work but if it is in your room and you use it then you will hear little mice crying at night so again don't use sticky traps if you are a bitch

I was going to bring up cat killings contributing to the black death in Europe, but after looking it up for a few minutes i have to say that its a rumor more than anything. So i did learn something today. However, cats were commonly used on ships, and were known as “Ship’s Cats, for the purpose of catching mice. Also interesting to note is that the source you provided only covers feral cats, and not domestic cats or cats bred for hunting rodents. Also, the scent of a cat can in some ways be more useful for warding off mice than actually hunting said mice. So it stands to reason that if op introduces a cat, the mouse might leave out of fearCats Are Surprisingly Bad at Killing Rats

feed it plaster de paris, when it drink water, the plaster expand and his stomach blows up.
I just showed you the first thing that popped up on google. You can do your own research and determine for yourself whether or not cats are useless sacks of shit.
Well i have to say your first reply got me interested in the subject. Im sure you dont care, but as far as feral vs domestic goes, i wonder if a cats hunting success has to do with their environment. A mouse in a confined space is probably easy for a cat to get versus a field mouse somewhere. Also it appears some breeds are better than others at it much like dog breeds can do different things. So perhaps feral cats are more like mutts and not as inclined to be mousers as a siamese cat for example
Maybe they'd be better at hunting vermin if you don't feed them
Rats and mice are very different in size so I can see why not many cats kill rats. But mice are much smaller. Not all cats are created equal but if your cat is inclined toward hunting (as my childhood cat was) it will do a good job at keeping mice away.
I usually remove them with a broom and dust pan because I don't kill animals if I don't have to, I have more respect or compassion for animals than I do for most human beings. Unlike most human beings they're more tolerable to deal with.
chase them around with a giant wooden mallet or set up elaborate traps. or just set out poison, that works too
Use mouse poison or buy trap to catch them
all fine examples tbh, but you can't rule out animal whisperers for a humane approach.....the animal whisperer will tell the mouse to leave or you will set traps to kill it. JFL. These people exist.
get a mousetrap and use peanut butter as bait
There are a couple of things you can do:
First of all - try mint leaves.
As a followup to that, just in case...
Get some poisonous bait, BUT if it´s inside your house, place it somewhere where your pets can´t reach. ( very important )
I´ve had some of those bastards above my roof.
Nights of hell.
Had to open a few roof tiles and give my best shot.
Took one month and a half to kill them all, and then the flies came to infest the area with worms due to the smell of the dead rats.

Mouse trap - smear it with peanut butter - rodents go ape shit for the stuff.
Poison bait - the advantage being they will probably take a lot of it back to the nest. If there is 1 there are probably others.
Get an airgun - my favourite for mice is something low recoil like a CO2 pistol like a Crossman 2240 or an HW40 or a Webley Alecto. I used to do a Saturday and Sunday night cleaning job at a depot where they kept the rubbish collection wagons and I shot hundreds of mice and rats there.

youtube has lots of diy mouse trap videos
Get a reusable mouse trap. I had a bad mice problem in one place I lived. I just got one trap and would put some cream cheese on the trigger and that one trap must have cought 20 of them before I finally found out how they were getting into the walls from the outside and plugged it up.
