Found a dead Mouse right outside my basement door!
« on: February 17, 2014, 04:53:23 PM »
Does this mean that it came from inside the house or outside?!?

Do these things live outdoors in the cold?
Did it die because it was outside in the cold?
Did it die cuz it cant climb the steps?
Do mice live in my yard?

How do I get rid of them all, wherever they may be??

Please help answer these questions, this whole episode is greatly affecting sholom bayis.

Assuming the only issue disturbing his Shalom Bayis is this mouse, a cat can do wonders...

Have no idea what that is but the cat will get rid of the mice.

Shalom bayis - literally means household peace/peace in the house but usually referring to peace in a marriage between spouses. That's a rough translation. Though this should be in the dedicated thread for words you don't understand :)

+1 to the cat suggestion. Unless she's afraid of animals

Get poison blocks, unless you have kids which would play with them. They work wonders.

They have ones that make the mice thirsty. This way they go outside to look for water and die.

Cats come with their own list of problems.
Some people would object to having non kosher animals in ones home especially where there are small children

Will I find more dead mice all over? Aren't traps better, this way you can dispose of the bodies?
