So there's a mouse in my bedroom and I'm very irritated. I'd never seen a mouse before, so I was pretty shocked when I saw it. Then I tried to 'shoo' it into a box, apparently this doesn't work. This mouse is sinister. I made a tray and filled it with glue and a piece of cheese in the middle. With absolutely no shame at all, it jumped right on top of the cheese, ate some, and then jumped off, all the while staying clear of the glue. Then I made a smaller piece of cheese and put my trap in the corner. Apparently it's not hungry anymore. There are way too many places in my room where a mouse can hide and get around. I never thought of this because in a way I never thought I'd actually ever run into this problem. Now I'm sleeping on the couch in the living room. I have to say, mice are pretty smart. It can tell when I'm in the room, it can jump, runs really quick, stays close to walls so you can't throw shoes at it, and it has the patience to wait till I give up. I wouldn't be surprised if it's right behind me while I type this. I feel really helpless lol in a strange way. I killed a snake once, just to go to sleep. Even a small scorpion. Lizards. This mouse is driving me crazy though. Any advice on an easy way to get rid of this thing? I need to sleep, but can't deal with the fact that I'm sleeping on a couch because of a mouse.
I'm just not used to living among them like you. Plus, I refuse to kill it. I know this because at one point I was holding a shoe and I could've smashed it, but hesitated.
I had one in my room when I was living at the frat house in college. Little ****ers are fast! Get a mini trash can and trap with that.
I thought of this, then realized it's 3am and I'm in Dubai lol I don't think anyone in this country sells mousetraps.

Try getting a fairly deep box or a plastic car wash type bucket. Make a ramp up to the top, put a very small amount of food near the top and a very small amount in the middle of the ramp, put more food in the bottom of the box. Leave and turn off the lights, give it some time and you should catch it. this always works when we have to catch our gerbil at school.
This has made me wonder whether mice really do prefer cheese? Maybe they are wondering why the hell we think they love cheese? I used parmesan because I figured the smell is stronger. Then I realized I'm working purely on what I know from Tom & Jerry.
Put some food on your nightstand...followed by the trap... Sleep on the couch again and do it over night....trust me...he'll find a way onto the nightstand...they're creative little ****ers.
Poison works best. Or if you insist, find some peanut butter in Dubai. It has to lick it off the trap increasing the chances it'll have its neck snapped. And don't feel bad about killing certain types of animals like squirrels that reproduce like crazy.
Does he have mad skillz like Turpy? <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2jd9zJ8ewl4?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2jd9zJ8ewl4?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
