OMG puke!
Permalink Closed


i was just gonna make a post about how there is a mouse in our apt. and it kind of grosses me out/ creeps me out and what to do about it.  i was putting in my contacts this morning and i look down, my first second with vision, and there is a dead mouse at my foot.  PUKE, omg, i ran out.  i dont knwo what to do, my roomies are away, i'd usually make the boy deal with it.  i'm so disgusted its not even funny.  for all i know, i stepped on it and stuff while i was wandering around with no contacts.  ewww, i don't want to scrape it off the floor.

First, envision it's Stuart Little


you can get a dustpan and a stick and roll him onto the dustpan so you can carry him to the trash...


you can take several layers of paper towel (or an old towel you're willing to throw away), lay the towel(s) on the mouse, then scoop him up and carry him to the trash...


you can place a bowl over him and wait until someone else can remove him...

I had this problem one time witha HUGE and LIVE roach (the most disgusting thing in existence, IMO) in a terrible summer apt i had.  i took a magazine and a tupperware ...


put the tupperware on top of it and slid the mag under, held that sucker down good and tight, then RAN outside as far as i could stand it and threw the whole thing into the bushes and then ran back in my apt.


lol


i watched this sucker squeeze in under the doorway while my roommates cat ran away from it.


useless fat cat.

Ick!  That would really upset me.  I really don't like mice.

Ugh!  Gross!  That sucks!


I'd do the dustpan move.  That way you don't have to touch it.  Every now and then we have a problem with cockroaches in our house.  I HATE THEM.  Once they're dead, I'll use the dustpan because even with a million paper towels, it feels gross.  Plus, and this is going to sound gross, but I can't really get a good grip on it and I feel like I'm going to drop it which would be a thousand times worse.


Anyway, clean it up as soon as you can so you don't get ants and so it doesn't start to smell.


So sorry you have to deal with that.  Pests are like the one thing I just CANNOT handle, so I feel your pain  Ugh!

We had a rogue mouse in my BF's apartment last year. When it finally died (after like three months of evading traps and poison), this is what I did to get rid of it.

OMG!  Hiliarious!  Sounds like something I would do.


Or you could take a shop vac to it...That's what I do for huge spiders.

Ew! Won't it die and decompose in there?
