I live a bachelor lifestyle, so I have no food in here. Just alcohol. I hope the mouse figures that out and goes away. I should get some traps in case it doesn’t. I hate killing animals but there’s no practical alternative.

    If you get a glue trap, they’re stuck, and now you have to deal with a live, suffering animal. If you get a regular mouse trap, they’ll almost certainly have their necks immediately, and humanely broken before you find them. I know that’s still not great, but it’s the better of the options available. I know of no animal-rights person that wants rats crawling over them while they sleep…

      I use the snap traps, although the last time I did that, I had to execute a few mortally wounded mice, which was not fun. So many mice were coming into my old house that I resorted to rat poison there (I don’t expect things to get that bad here) but glue traps are over the line for me.
