Well Q friends call me what you want,but my very biggest fear is here.I have a mouse in my home,and am so very terrified,jumpy,nervous,and scream my bloody head off when I see it.I have several traps set(with peanutbutter) and constantly on guard.I have had this fear since I was little.I also have plugged in a silent sound machine that I bought a few yrs back at HSN.Whether this helps,who knows,but I will try anything.

Any suggestions of getting rid of this mouse will be greatly appreciated

Oh dear, I know how you feel -

I can pick up a mouse, no problem, but a centipede? That makes me run for the hills!

And we have them in NJ!

Do you have a cat?

@Luvsmyfam Call an exterminator to send Mickey or Minnie packing!!!

@Major Shopper I truly wish I had extra money to do this.Is this a sickness of fearing something to the point I scream,cry,and cuss like a sailor?

@Ronettes I can't have pets I rent a townhome,townhouse, with traps set everywhere,I'd be afraid they would step on one

That's a shame, because if you had a cat, you wouldn't need any traps, there wouldn't be any mice!

@Luvsmyfam I have found that an exterminator is cheaper in the long run. 

I had an ant problem which drove me crazy! 

 

Until I purchased all of the "ingredients" for home remedies (none of which worked), I spent the same as one visit from the exterminator.

 

Also, my ant problem was resolved within 30 minutes with the exterminator!

Otherwise, I had been dealing with the problem for months with the home remedy nonsense!Smiley Very Happy

@Luvsmyfam  I'm right there with you!  I've only had a mouse twice in my house and bought those closed mouse traps so I couldn't see it.  They work great and the mouse was caught in a day or two.  I couldn't even pick up the trap which is completely closed.  My neighbor came over and put it in the trash.  You can reuse them I think but I could never open it.  I was very tempted to sleep over a friend's house until it was caught.  I am terrified of mice, and only mice for some reason.

@Luvsmyfam Yuck.  When it comes to inside,  I'm getting bug and rodent shy the older I get.  Hope you catch the little critter soon.

Not necessarily.  My friends cat played with them and left them lying on the floor.  The cat was so proud of catching mice he would bring them in the house to show off.  Obviously he was a outdoor cat.
