Need some help. I think I have a mouse in my house. I live on the lake so it's common for the littler critters to get in but the thing is that this one seems to be really, really, really... smart.
I have tried traps, poisons you name it. I have called the exterminators just to ask and of course got the well we can come out and take a look for $99.95...
So my question is. Does anyone know any other way to get rid of the damn thing? I would hate to spend the money for a guy to come do something I could.
post script: yes I have a cat, but he has about as good a hunting skill as a goldfish...

Stop feeding the cat.

We get mice in my house occasionally. We've always found poisons to be the most effective method, although it inevitably leads to a bad smell coming from somewhere inaccessible.
Rats will kill and eat mice in their territory. So the obvious answer is to buy some rats.

My cat is tiny, but a deadly mouse-slayer. Sadly, she just ignores ants though, so I have to find other ways to kill them. I wonder how much an anteater costs.

I once had a cat that pushed a mouse out of the way to get to the food bowl. Talk about useless.
Get a ferret, maybe.
Here you go, Smash. You can name him Jolson.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
I had mice in my flat as well, and since we couldn't get a cat (cos we don't have a garden), we had use traps and electro-sound-shock thingies that you plug in the wall.
We also guys come in to "do something" and it was the biggest waste of money. They put some freaking rat poison in some crappy little boxes, and came back 2 weeks later. I could've done that. We had builders come in and fill in some tiny holes in the walls. It kinda worked, but its hard since mice can squeeze through a hole of 0.5cm in diametre. So, basically, tiny.
I haven't seen any in a while, but they might have learnt to be discreet.

Keep surfaces clean of food, close up holes, get a hungry cat or a rat terrier.
Cats instinctively hunt. Even if they dont kill.
Peanut butter makes a good bait for traps.
If you want to see if you have a mouse look for droppings or spread some baking powder/dust along your floor/counter space. Place some food in the center and see what tracks are left in the powder.

Once they get in to a dwelling, you really need to find and block off the hole or they'll keep coming.
I've heard they like peanut butter...or perhaps it's just that PB is very aromatic...anyways it's supposed to work good on traps.
I watched Ratatouille last weekend. What an incredibley stupid movie.

I live in a fairly rural area, on the shores of a river, in a very old house. We get lots of mice. Every year the cold weather drives the little buggers in from the fields.
We use traps with peanut butter (works very well), and we have two Jack Russell Terriers. Those that manage to evade the dogs usually fall to the traps.

I can tell you from experience that it's very hard to crush one with a safe while it's still awake/alive.
Burn down your house.

1) Hear characteristic scritch-scratching noise coming from inside an empty pizza box.
2) Pick up pizza box without opening up lid.
3) Go to large outside, lidded, bin, and throw in pizza box.
4) ????
5) Profit!
Mouse or mouse corpse now the council rubbish-tip's problem!

Set your house on fire, mices hates fire.
Lothar eventually had to beat the one in our old house to death with a wooden sword.
He felt bad for weeks.

Then what will you do about the rats after the mice are gone? It never ends...

That is where youre wrong, you buy snakes to eat the rats (and the cat) and then you find something that preys upon snakes and let winter kill them off.

Have you, per chance, read the book The King, the Mice and the Cheese, by Nancy Gurney?
Your best bet is to call the guy. They have a quality poison called bromadialone that dehydrates the hell out of them. The also have some nice glue traps they can use to trap it in place, so it doesn't crawl somewhere inaccessible and die stinkily.
