MICE

[yuuago]

UGHUGHUGHUGH

There are mice.

Mice.

LIVING IN MY STOVE. UGHHHHHHHH

Eew eew eew eew mice in my kitchen! Mice in my stove! Under the sink was bad enough, but EEW EEW EEW

I'd heard some weird noises from the stove a few days ago, but since everything in this house makes weird noises I thought it was just part of it settling, or something. No. Mice. Or at least, a mouse.

And today I saw it. Going into the stove. In the space below the burner.

AUUUUUUGH

Where the fuck is my shotgun. I mean. I know that's overkill. And I wouldn't be able to use it. But fuck, I'd feel better with my goddamn fuckin' shotgun.

Tomorrow I'm gonna fuckin' head down and load up on stuff to get rid of this fucker, yes I will.

UGH. MICE.

m-mice or rats? ;A; mice are harmless! rats are the killers.

[yuuago]

Mice. Rats are bigger, eh?

Whatever they are, they're dirty disgusting rodents and they're in here uninvited. Nobody comes into my house uninvited, be it spiders, insects, ex boyfriends or, gods forbid, mice.

AAAAHHHHH

DOUSE THE STOVE IN GASOLINE

THEN LIGHT IT.

[yuuago]

I think that might be even more overkill than the shotgun, mate.

But gods, do I wish I could do it. UGHHHHHH

[confictionery.livejournal.com]

IT'S MICE

NOTHING IS OVERKILL

[confictionery.livejournal.com]

Except maybe nuclear weapons.





Maybe.

[yuuago]

This is true. Nuclear weapons would be overkill.

But the thing is with gasoline is it would burn my house down and then I wouldn't have anywhere to live, sob.

[confictionery.livejournal.com]

THAT IS A PRICE YOU MUST BE WILLING TO PAY

[yuuago]

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN HANDRE IT

Hmm. Streets or mice. Streets or mice. Well, the weather is getting better....

[confictionery.livejournal.com]

It's okay. I'll go get us some cough-ee while you contemplate.

[yuuago]

EXCELLENT.

I think after this shock I'll definitely need some cough-ee. Or some vodka. Ughhhhh,

[confictionery.livejournal.com]

I can imagine. We had mice at one point, I swear one fell onto my head when I opened the pantry door.


My Ukraine muse says horillka's better. :Db

DSLKJD;JKGFLD IN YOUR STOVE

That's just too much. ;____; Turn up the heat and fry them

HAHA ok no no that's cruel not to mention gross. Umm. I don't know. That sucks though. T__T

[yuuago]

Don't think I haven't considered it. Problem is I wouldn't be able to get rid of the corpse after. The part that the little fucker seems to be hiding in is too small and complicated for my hand to reach.

I'm heading out to get traps 'n poison tomorrow. Ugh. Soooo gross.

[clocksheep.livejournal.com]

Good luck man :( ♥

[blacknoise.livejournal.com]

D:

Garden Gloves. Grab 'em by the tail and then flush 'em.

[yuuago]

What? Really?

Wouldn't that clog up the drain?

And I'm not sure I'd be fast enough to catch one... I'm not adverse to drowning it if I did get a hold of it, though.

[blacknoise.livejournal.com]

Yeah it probably would :P


It's macabre, but cervical dislocation (break the neck) is the most final way to off a mouse (after traps, natch).

They're easily liftable by the tail, then if you're not light-fingered about it, you can end 'em.


:( I used to work in a rodent facility for government experimentation--they had much less depressing ways to kill mice. I honestly don't know if I could snap a mouse neck just like that. I'd probably freak. :( I hate killing mammals.

[yuuago]

Righto. Gonna keep this in mind.

I've never had to deal with this sort of thing - never even saw a mouse until I moved into this apartment - so that's probably why I'm so disturbed by it. Ugh. Never had to kill a mammal, either, but if it comes to it -- well, I guess we'll see.

Geh. So disgusting. Ugh.

[blacknoise.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and honestly mice smell worse, reproduce faster, and get in smaller places.

Rats are smarter, but if you need to corner one, remember they follow walls very closely (it's an innate part of their sensorimotor cognition :P). Guide it to an open corner with nothing available to climb up/get under. Be aware they jump.

If you have gloves on,(moving quickly) cup both hands around the mouse. If there's a little gap between your fingers or hands, the mouse (if it's not trying to gnaw you) will try to get out that way. Let it get out a little, then tighten your grip so it's stuck. Then, if you can pinch its tail (close to its body) between a thumb and forefinger, that's the best way to move it around.

[eevee-blaze.livejournal.com]

Awww, but mice are cute. :>

I can understand why you'd consider them pests, though. They might chew up your electrical cords if you let them.

I'd research into how to get somebody come to get rid of them humanely.

[alicornmoon.livejournal.com]

I grew up in a house that had more mice than people. We had them in the stove and even when you would use it that didn't seem to hurt them O.o

[noonish.livejournal.com]

Oh my god.

D:

Mice are the worst.

CAN'T YOU FRY THEM USING THE STOVE OR SOMETHING and then eat them. no, i kid.

[yuuago]

I WOULD but then I wouldn't get the body out. It's living in a place where my hand can't reach.

I'll try traps and poison, and if that doesn't work... I dunno.

[noonish.livejournal.com]

I wish you luck, man. Lots of luck.

[yuuago]

They're cute, sure, but I don't want those fuckers in my house. :}

[chinomi.livejournal.com]

Dx !!!
My cat keeps bringing mice in omg :'|

[french-noodles.livejournal.com]

Mice? How nice. The only rodents I have around here are rats. Thankfully no longer in my house.

[yuuago]

Guh, yes. Thankfully just mice, not rats. Even so, I want them out out out!

[french-noodles.livejournal.com]

Good luck on that. All rodents are disgusting.

[fanfaluche.livejournal.com]

OH GOD ;___;"

And I was freaking out on ants in my fridge..

KILL THEM ALL

And be sure PETA doesn't know

[yuuago]

I SHALL.

No doubt about that. Mmhm.

[fabledquill.livejournal.com]

GRROOOOSSSSSSSSS EWWWWWWWW OH GOD
mouses
they nasty
:C

try peanut butter to get 'em out. Little animals luurrrve peanut butter.

[de-yaten.livejournal.com]

Try traps and then put it in a box and let it go in some woods or far away from your house!

[therightlight.livejournal.com]

Borrow someone's cat. The bloodstains are a bother to clean though.

[silverkinz.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. It's not funny, but the way you type it, it IS. XD
