Rabies is just one of several fatal diseases rodents can carry...

Keeping wild rodents in your home is literally risking your life.

Now he's going to say "But you didn't cry and feel horribly guilty over it SO YOU'RE THE WORST PERSON EVER. KILLING THAT PEST AND NOT FEELING BAD MAKES YOU WORSE THAN HITLER AND STALIN COMBINED! WAAAAAAH"

So weird what people do to get rid of rodents, just get a nice air rifle, sure you'll have to patch up your dry wall once in a while, but it's totally worth it, and it's humane.

I do that for squirrels and chipmunks.

People poison mice and they die horribly all the time, no one says shit. Some guy sucks up a mouse in a vacuum and hes like Hannibal. Give me a fuckin break.

...pics of what? The shop vac?

The mouse in the vacuum, or just the dead mouse. Basically proof that this happened..

Its a mouse. Put gloves on and pick it up and take it outside. Or get a cat or a terrier. Easy. You tortured an animal.

That cat will torture the hell out of them

Eh, not always. Sometimes just having the cat is enough to make the mice leave.

Yeah, I'm not gonna open up the shop vac and risk it jumping out as well as getting dust all over me just so some random nobody on CE believes what happened.

Exactly. It's so fucking funny how sheltered some of the people on CE are. If they ever venture out of mommy's basement and in to the real world they're in for quite the shock.

OKAY PEOPLE! Move along! Nothing to see here. Just a troll trying to get attention. This is a joke topic, none of this happened, please move along.

Every time I've ever seen a cat with a mouse it was depressing and sad as shit what they were doing to them. Like, bad enough to make you contemplate the universe lol

As far as them just deterring mice, maybe so. But if they get one.. Man

Very true. Starving to death in a vacuum would be far preferable to what a cat will do to them. They don't even eat the mice usually, they just torture the shit out of them.

There was a cat around my old house that caught a bat once. That fucker was ruthless. Dragging it around with its mouth and if it twitched slightly he would just beat the shit out of it until it stopped moving.

How else would you suggest I get rid of it?

bucket trap, or a large bowl with a of peanut oil in it.

Yeah man, don't torture the animal. Get another animal to torture it for you.

I feel like praying for it to go away would be more effective than a bowl of peanut oil.

My old neighbor had a manx tomcat named Button that was a true badass. He would fight other cats all the time and was just really fun. One time i went out on my porch to smoke and Button was in my front yard. He had crippled a mouse and it was trying to crawl away. He was excited and his eyes were glowing and he was jumping in the air and doing side rolls like a ninja. He would let the mouse crawl a bit then go bite it some more and hit it with his paws. It was pretty fucked up, he was dicking with it forever. I went inside somewhat disgusted but thats life man.

Yeah pretty much that

If you do a bucket trap, it's more humane to put water in it for the mouse to drown than to let the mouses get caught and start to eat each other when they start starving, saw that in a Youtube video.

I remember my grandma used to kill mouse by drowning them. Like, get a small bucket, fill it with water, dump the mouse in it, then seal it for hours.

Straight up poisoning them nowadays is most effective, I guess.

Lol people got way too riled up itt, y'all need to relax

The fact that they kill diseased pests is yet another reason to love cats, and they're already my favorite animal. I have a cat but she's far too old to catch mice anymore though, being almost 17.

It says a lot about you.

They're smart, cute, loving and affectionate (at least all the ones i've owned were), require much less maintenance than dogs, and best of all kill household pests such as flies and mice. What's not to love about them?

My father gets a shovel and chops the mice in half. I was shown the same method but I felt guilty when I did it to a mouse. When the mouse cried out in pain, I was like Nope, sticking to traps from now on.

How the fuck do you get them to stand still long enough to even attempt that? I tried several times to just give the mouse a good hard stomp for an instant death but it was just too fast.

A mouse sucked up in a vacuum, huh? Wasn't that an episode of the Wonder Years?

I have a similar, slightly crueler story. Years ago I had a single rat invade my kitchen years ago. It was so desperate and hungry I discovered it in broad daylight eating from a bowl of sliced fruit on my counter top. It was like watching something out of Ratatouille. The vermin saw me from a far and kept nibbling until I got close enough then it leapt behind the stove. I left the room to tell others and when I went back to the kitchen it was back at it again.

Immediately I went to the hardware store to buy some glue traps and I placed them behind the stove. I used peanut butter as bait. Soon enough I hear squeaking and it didn't dawn on me until I saw the rat that, unlike mice, they're strong enough to break free from the glue.

So I had to act quick before it broke free. There was no time to move the entire stove enough for me to even stomp it. That's when I grabbed a broom, turned it upside down and I proceeded to crush its neck with the narrow broom end. Let me tell you, that rat knew it was gonna die. It let out a really loud cry of fear and anguish seconds before I heard a crunch sound.

I felt a little bad it ended up going this way but those things carry horrible disease.

Yeah, it's unfortunate but unlike what some sheltered (man)children here think, no one with a brain is going to risk getting a disease to ensure the safety of a rodent living in their house, and if one of these people ever gets one in their house and ends up dying from hantavirus or rabies because they refused to kill it, it'll be natural selection at work

I had one a few years ago, but I just mouse trapped him and threw him in the woods.

This one either didn't like peanut butter OR cheese, or was just smarter than the average mouse because it just straight up ignored the traps.

If it was in your house eating shit just take whatever it was eating and make a trap out of it.

Don't bother with snap traps though they never fucking work. Either they go off on their own or the nice just pick the shit off it without setting it off.

I got nothing against pet mice. Mice sold as pets don't carry diseases and don't shit all over the same surfaces you prepare food on while scratching at the inside of your walls driving you insane.

I once accidentally ran over a baby bird with the lawnmower

Didn't see it until I was already over it

Literally left no trace

Either sneak up on them while theyre turned out or trap them in a corner or limited space while theyre running around. If we see the mouse run off into a room, we seal off any potential escape routes like doorway quickly. Then, its a two man team. One of us moves furniture trying to find the mouse while the other has the shovel or some type of pole ready to kill it.

The mouse is fast so we cant catch or tag it. We try to trick it into going into smaller spaces where it can run around less. We used to have a mouse problem since my house was located by a cornfield where a lot of mouse lived but its gotten better over the years. Plus, weve gotten better at dealing with mice. My father has dealt with them his whole life so he knows a lot of tricks and method even without traps.

Once you get the mouse in a small space, its game over for them. They panic and start going in circles.

Are you sure you got it? Did you feel a clunk in the vacuum tube when you sucked him up?

Yep, I felt the little guy zip right up the tube as I was holding it. The speed he was going is what made me so sure he was dead.

It's a pest that go out of its way invading your home. That is fair. Dont feel bad.

I don't, but if you didn't read through the topic I suggest you do because a few people freaked the absolute fuck out calling me names and expecting me to feel bad for killing, as I have repeatedly called it, a diseased pest. It was funny to see a bunch of manchildren get so upset over me killing a mouse in a relatively quick minimally painful way

Cool story, bro.

No really, I read it from start to finish. I still remember the hassle of having to clean up their s*** before.

I feel you. Dealing with rodents is so frustrating. So satisfying when you finally catch the fucker

I would feel insanely bad but at the same time mice are dicks

I would get rid of it quick. It might still be alive and I heard a mouse can chew through anything.

Weirdo tc

Yep, I hate it when people say all cats are assholes who don't care about their owner and shit. Some cats are but those are almost always caused by shitty owners. My cat despite being 17 still runs up to me and meows and purrs while rubbing against my leg when I walk in the door, and every second i'm home and sitting down or laying in bed she's either sleeping on me or next to me, its all about being a good owner. Back in her younger days she not only killed mice and bugs but she'd even play fetch.
