My mother once woke up and found a mouse ON HER FACE! Eventually the dog caught it and we never saw another critter in the house again. Lots of drama coming from the pps.

You think a mouse is a problem wait till you vacuum out those babies.

Stop blaming your child because you have a mouse problem.



How many frickin' times do you see a mouse on the couch?????????????? I am about to turn 43 and I have NEVER seen a mouse on the couch. We had one field mouse in a old house get in and was trapped about 10 years ago, but that is the only time I've seen a mouse in the house.


Old house? field mouse? please. these are just excuses. you're a dirty disgusting housekeeper and probably a hoarder too. yuck


Op here. That is a really unnecessary comment. Had couch (and rest of upholstered furniture) cleaned and sanitized. No droppings or anything on it or around it. Going to keep it and see what happens. In the meantime, put packets of bait around. Thanks for all of the helpful comments.


Come OP, it was funny.


Yes, I meant it to be satire on the faux "I'm such a germaphobe, my house is completely germ free and spotless at all times, and if god forbid I found vermin (impossible, but let's just say) I would indeed burn the house down and start over. Because I am just that clean and special.

If you get a new couch and a cat, make it a cheap couch as the cat will just destroy it anyway.

Mice may be cute, but they can carry disease (not just Hanta virus) and it's not good to be exposed to their droppings. Chances of getting something I assume are low, but I would not be as laid back as say the person who had a live mouse in her bed. See attached...and yes, I know some diseases mentioned are only found in other countries-focus on the ones here..

McLean has a ton of mice. Especially my friends hick neighbor with piles of junk all over their backyard - and car parts in their front yard - disgusting.

Hate to break it to you, but there are plenty of people who live in McLean who can barely afford it. Hence the mice.

Holy shit. I hope it's not an expensive couch. For me, if it were any less than $1000, I think I'd throw the SOB out and start over. And get a cat. Good luck op.

The smell only lasts a week or so with mice. With rats it can last a month or two.


Less that a week, I'd say, if at all. a mouse is so tiny is dries out before it rots. If you have rot-stink, you have something bigger than a mouse.

Do people know what a mouse is?? Or is everyone picturing rats when they're freaking out? I'm a pretty tough cookie, but I admit I would be pretty wigged out to see a rat in my house. Mice, eh, NBD.


Not sure that the cuddliness of the creature has anything to do with the hygiene issue.

IF you saw the mouse on the couch, he's been everywhere already.
