What's the best way to kill...

...a mouse?

I set a mousetrap earlier in my garage. I even put some nice cheese on it. I just went to check it. Mr Mouse is caught in the trap by his tail. He's eating the cheese. He obviously can't run away, or he would have legged it when I appeared. I don't want to just let him go, because he's injured, and besides, well, he's a mouse, and i didn't set a deadly mousetrap for nothing...

So, what's the best way to send him on his way without causing him any more grief than necessary, and without grossing me out in the process?

LOL Robert

Put an old cloth or newpaper over it, whack it with a hammer, and dispose of the remains.

blimey, that's a bit harsh isn't it??

It's a part of the food chain, so let him go.....survival of the fittest and all that, and another animal or bird will be fed,

or you can whack him with the hippy-hammer

Hmmm, messy, yet surely effective. I like it.

I'll wait a few more minutes (he hasn't finished his cheese yet), and see if anyone comes up with anything else.

just let him go.. they are hardy.

Screw the mouse, get that hammer out - if you're precise, it's a clean kill

I don't want to appear like a soft touch to him. If I let him go he'll only come back. To be honest I'm not really treating it like a fishing trip, and I hadn't realy intended to 'catch and release', if you know what I mean...

Hmmm, I should point out that it is late and I have had a few...I don't think I could guarantee a 'clean kill' and more than I could guarantee not to end up in Accident & Emergency.

Is not a rat, Mr Fawlty, it's a siberian hamster.

Polonium-210 should do the trick.

Maybe anesthetise it with whisky first. Make you sure you keep the body to make some of that Korean health tonic stuff though

Leave it in the garage to freeze to death
