What's the best way to get rid of a mouse in the house?

What's the best way to get rid of a mouse in the house. I think I only have one, but when there is one there is usually more. Im deathly afraid of mice so what trap method should I use. Will putting poisen around the house have the mice dropping dead in the middle of the floor. Please help, I'm getting more and more paranoid with them.

theres this thing I've seen on tv that plays a frewuency the mice hate all you have to do is plug it into a wall.. problem is I forgot what it was called sry but try to find out about it, the next best thing is poison but I dno abt if the mice will just drop dead I think they just leave because I've never seen a dead mouse near the house since we put the poison out

I would use some sort of trap. If you put poison out they could die in your wall or something and then stink up the house... not very pleasant.

Moth balls might drive it away if you know where it is living.

Don't be afraid of mice, they're way more afraid of you - who is 50 times bigger than them.

The mice do not like 'peppermint oil' nor 'cinnamine oil' . It will run them off in a heartbeat. You can get it at the grocery store, it's not expensive. Just place it on cottonballs around your house, under sinks, in closets,basement,garage. You can even poor it along your doorjams that lead to outside.

One method you could try....get a trash can set it beside a desk or chair of the same height....place a board across the span (with the board extended to the middle of the can)....place some food on the edge that extends over the can.....the mouse will crawl across the board to the food, but his weight will cause the board to tilt downward and he will fall into the can....he will be unable to climb out, he's trapped !!...now get 'Superhero' to dispose of same !! LOL....Good Luck !!....no poision involved !

I have discovered for the second time this year that I have mice. I use peanut butter on a wooden mouse trap. I will also be purchasing the electronic device to keep the mice away. Hopefully this will work. I just watched the new movie Ratotoulli and it freaks me out. Can't get the imagine out of my mind of hundreds of mice?rats in the house.

Get a cat.

- or borrow a cat.

electric devices don't work! get a dog or use poison but put it behind refrigerators or stoves or way up high (this last will not work if you have a cat because they can get at it)make sure the poison is back far enough so only the mice can get to it. they will be gone in no time

I'd use a mousetrap. The simplest device you need. :P

***electric devices don't work!***

Oh yes they do. 'Electric mouse traps' do.
