OK, there are large mice or very small rats--at least one--living in my magnificent studio. The landlord's reprentative/manager is freaking out, she wants to trap the little varmint(s).
I wasn't too concerned, really--until I saw little mousey droppings (2 of them) on my counter, and then tonight when I came home I saw out of the corner of my eye a little grey streak rushing for safety into the little kitchen cubbyhole.
I still don't care all that much, unless the little fellow is carrying Bubonic Plague fleas--what's he going to do, sneak up and bite my ass while I'm sleeping? Mice are cute, they aren't going to open the refrigerator door and cook my steak, are they?
But my landlord/manager will never rest. So I have to trap it (them).
She put down this little sticky pad/trap, but the critter is way too smart for that, and moved it, lol.
I refuse to use one of those brutal, horrible snap/trap things that will kill it quickly if it's lucky, but might just snag it and leave it to die a horrible wiggling death from thirst, shock, and hunger.
Of course, a cat would be ideal, and since I've already been toying with offering a massive bribe/deposit to get them to loosen up the 'no pets' policy, it would seem the perfect solution. But she's already pissed off that I'm a slob--not a good time to broach kitty cats.
of course the cat would inflict far greater pain and suffering on the little mousey than any trap would, but never mind that, I can't have one anyways.
So are there humane mousey traps that I could then take and drive the little fucker to a field and set him loose?
You might laugh, but I really don't want to hurt this little varmint--what has he done to me??

Kind of on accident though.
