I am attempting to catch a mouse in my apartment.

[Uncanny Moskvich]

Give me some ideas on what kind of buffet I should make for him to last him until I wake up. So far, I got half an oreo, pepperjack cheese, a dorito, some water, chocolate milk, (to be continued)

buy a mousetrap

use peanut butter because it's sticky, not cheese

the mouse will die. voila.

Or just play the movie Ratatouille and wait for him to sit next to you to watch as well

[Insomniac Jack]

Give it cheese-cake (loaded with pesticide).

Except now imagine the horror-novel version.

This, they will think it's food then die of intoxication or explode because they ate too much of these.

Nuts or bread. Both work well, but by bread i mean bread, which may or may not be available in Your country. Try some of those traps which catch them alive - so You could catch it the next day again. Nice sport i did a few months ago. One time it just took an hour till it was in that trap again...

Nuts or any nut butter are pretty effective bait. But any trap is less effective if there is other stuff they can scavenge in the area. So make sure your space is clean and mostly free of other clutter first.

Some people handle everything with gloves, so as to avoid leaving too much human scent (which can repel them). Usually that's unnecessary and the bait will win out. But something to try if you have continuous trouble.

And make sure to release it pretty far away. Mice can find their way back to familiar places up to 2-3 miles away sometimes.

Also, usually you'll have more than 1. The appearance of one in human spaces most often indicates a significant population in the building as a whole.

Bits of a "Snicker's" bar. (Chocolate candy bar with loads of sugar, gooey stuff, caramel and a very penetrating umame'ish odor that the mouse will be attracted to. It's better than cheese.)

If you use a humane trap, know that if you place it in an area that's close enough to your house that you can see your house... that mouse may be likely to find its way back.(Just an estimated distance) Also, if you're in the U.S., it may be illegal for you to relocate any wild animal, even a "pest." Don't get caught, yourself...

Don't use open-access poison. (Rat "bait/poison" bricks.) Not just to prevent innocent pets and children from dying, but to prevent the mouse from dying in your walls or some other place you can't remove the body. It'll rot and that's ungood for you in your residential home.

PS: It's pretty likely that most human homes have mice, somewhere. They only get noticed when they start making it into our living spaces. Make sure you do your best to block external entrances into your crawlspaces, like the holes in the basement wall needed for pipes/service connections, doors that don't fit well, attic vents that aren't properly screened, etc.

Use a Stugna-P. Seems to work well at killing rats in Ukraine...

Get rat poison & then mix it with peanut butter really well. Then give it to the mouse.

Hope this helps!

Sprinkle sulphur powder in the room (especially to the places your eye can't see) that you heard its sound. Shut its door and the lowest part of the doorway too (so it can't escape from that room).


This is the best way to get rid of that suspected mouse without harming your furnitures and other belongings.


It will also kill other bugs altogether in that room.
