Few New Yorkers have never had a run in with a mouse in their apt. There are a variety of traps on the market ranging from humane to vindictive but sometimes nothing seems to work. A couple Crown Heights residents crowd sourced the forum for solutions to their rodent woes:
katherine08: “I just saw a mouse scamper across my apartment, I tried to get it but it somehow fit itself underneath the small crack between the door and the floor and snuck into my room. How do I get ride of it? I don’t want to kill it. Can I lure it out somehow? Any tips to help this not happen again?”Â
BellaK: “I must have Mighty Mouse in my apartment, he’s been here 3 weeks already and refuses to die. At first I wanted a quick death for him, so I suggested regular snap traps to my boyfriend…After 4 days, nothing. So I said, “fine, get the glue traps as long as I don’t have to see or hear it.”…nothing…Then, the gutsy little thing started climbing on to the coffee table one evening while my boyfriend was sitting there eating his Crown Fried chicken. So we figured he liked the chicken enough, put some in the traps. ……..nothing…”
No strangers to this problem themselves, the people of the forum gladly put forth the wisdom they’d accrued on the topic while living in NYC.
