The little bastard is pretty brazen, so I think he’ll go for it. I have another piece of scrap to cover the top with when he goes in.

After that, well... I’ll have a mouse. I could always find another larger piece of scrap to impale him with, but that’s a little messy.

You do realize that mice can jump like close to 50cm high right? :)

That blue bucket in the back would not be enough to keep it. Heck it might even jump on your desk.

Don’t impale the poor fella!

At the risk of sounding like a major sap, they’re too cute to kill. Lucky bastards.

That’s what the aforementioned other piece of scrap is for. I have a lot of down time, I’ll just keep one eye on it and cover it when he goes in. Then put something heavier on that.

Not so cute even they’re eating your Thin Mints!

But what if the rodent escaped from a lab and has super-rodent strength?

Ever seen the movie “Graveyard Shift"?

The place I’m working at is much scarier - a grocery store in the ghetto. Giant bat? Try a group of Bloods, one of which is threatening to “whip out his piece” when the security guard tried to stop them for shoplifting. Luckily, we are a reset team that goes to various stores in Indianapolis and the next one is in a much better area.

Kill mice. They are dirty vermin. There are plenty of them in the world. Also, you do not a have a mouse, you have mice.

Oh he’s definitely going to die when I get him. We’ve always had mice, and we likely always will have mice. Our shop is an old prefab building with multiple holes cut through walls for various utilities, and doors that are open nearly 24 hours a day.
