A few weeks ago, I reported on facebook & twitter that we had a mouse in our apartment. While I was home, my roommates caught it, but realized we had TWO mice. We haven't seen or heard from mouse #2 in a while, but today while I was cleaning my room, I found him. I pulled out the top drawer of my dresser and put it on my bed. the mouse jumped out and ran under my covers. I screamed like a baby. It eventually ran under the bed, so I put one of the traps with peanut butter under my bed and closed my door. I also stuffed towels under my door b/c it has a large gap so that the mouse cannot escape for food. Hopefully this works.
In the mean time, I'm watching a movie and having a drink to calm myself down.
While Googling "how to catch a mouse", I cam across this, which I find a little ridiculous:
"Be sure your state/county does not have a law prohibiting
you from killing the animal. Some states, like NJ, have laws
that protect rodents from in-humane capture/treatment/death.
Check with your state's ASPCA first before attempting the
method above. Otherwise, you could be fined and/or jailed for doing so."
