I have a new houseguest. I thought it was my own failing eyesight for the longest time, only catching bits of movement out of the corners of my eyes, but yesterday I got an unobstructed, static view of him: an adult gray mouse.
I've no idea what he's living on, but evidently they'll eat anything. Books, shoes, whatever.
I'd like to get rid of him as non-lethally as possible. Any ideas?
I lost all respect for mice while staying at my sister's house in the country. She asked me to dispose of a forcibly deceased relative of my new houseguest. I noticed the trap was baited with plastic cheese. I asked her about it, she said they'd been living there for 10 years, long enough to try every variation, and this little slice of embossed petrochemical worked better than anything else. Even real cheese.
I felt badly for the mouse, but good for the fact that someone did, finally, invent a better mousetrap.
