I think I have a mouse

in my garage... not cool.. I hope it did not make it into the house.

I was moving my car stuff and found little bits of poo that would be mouse sized... I don't think it came with the new interior I bought since we shook and dropped those pieces a lot..

what would be the humane way of capturing one of these critters

Wait until you can catch two, and make yourself a pair of these.

Kill the dirty little bastards.

I kindof like mice actually....they are really cute but in my garage or home I will kill them without remorse because of the damage they can do.

Exactly, I had a mouse infestation in my finished "barn" the leetle bastards were chewing the seal on my garage door and destroying anything they could in the barn I tried trap and poison but the only thing poison did was make the turds green and they got wise to the traps...


until, I discovered carcasses in an used oil drain pan so I made a little mouse plank so they can get in with a piece of food suspended in the middle, they walk the plank jump into the oil......case closed.

Eliminate the reason they are coming into your garage...

Food scraps?

Warm place to bed down?

Then...PB on the paddle, set and wait...

S N A P !

Little buggar's neck is in two pieces and he never felt it...

Open the hasp...dump the body, rebait w/fresh PB, and wait for another snap...

BTW, after about 2 or 3 snaps, throw out the trap...the little guys seem to sense "death" and will avoid the trap, regardless what you're using for bait...

Good luck!

If you want to catch it alive, then you might try one of these.
