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.

    Get 2 medium sized boxes for moving.

    Cut one of them up to make a ramp into the other box.

    Put peanut butter or almond butt on the ramp and in the box.

    Goto bed after drinking said alcohol.

    Look in your box the next morning and your new friend will be there smiling at you.

    Find them a better forever home.

      That sounds a lot like what my coworker does with chipmunks. Except, it isn’t a box, it’s a bucket. And it isn’t a forever home, it’s 8" of water.

        Why would he kill chipmunks? I used to live somewhere where they were all over the place, but they only ever made annoying noises and taunted my dog. I never had one even try to come into my house.

          He had a ton of them, they’d chew at stuff around his house and ruin his landscaping. I think he said he got 18 in one day before.

          They will chew the living fuck out of your house. You have to get them out of your house. Killing them is just one way.

            Either I had weird chipmunks or other people do, because even bees did more damage by chewing up my house than chipmunks did.

              Chipmunks gnawed through our basement casement windows and wrecked holy hell on our house. They can’t easily be trapped. I got them out by borrowing ferrets from one friend and the last one out by borrowing another friend’s house cat.

                Your friend’s ferrets would hunt? Mine refused even to try eating anything except their pellets.

                  Our friend’s ferrets got all but one chipmunck. We had to borrow another friend’s cat to get that last one
