Hrm. I didn't think of leaving the mouse attached to the glue trap and just waiting for him to die.

I did the... erm... if I rip him off and let him go however many miles from here... he'll have lost so much hair & skin that he'll probably die (it was winter...)... Not to mention I didn't know how weak he was from flopping on that thing from however long.

Then did the... erm, I could stick him in the freezer, but then I'd have a dead mouse in the freezer. Eww. I could drown him in a bucket, but then I'd have dead mouse contaminated bucket, and since I was in an apartment, I couldn't really go hose it out. Eww. I could smash him with a hammer, but then I'd have a bloody hammer. Eww.

Finally, I stuck him in a few plastic bags, and stuck him behind my car wheel and backed up. Fastest most humane least eww way to get rid of a mouse that I could think of... But then I tossed all the other glue traps I had.

As for living with them... mice spread the plague and carry hantavirus. I tried to avoid disease carriers. Eww.

And cats.... never really cared from them, and am just allergic enough I don't get near so it doesn't get worse. Eww.
