“There’s a mouse in the toilet’ my 5 year old screamed this morning as he went to use their bathroom. Â Nah, that’s can’t be what he said. Â ”Mama come here, mouse in the toilet’ he screeched. Â I ran over and sure enough, there was a mouse doggie paddling in the toilet.
To which I ran with my son out of the bathroom and yelled for my husband to take care of the mouse in the toilet.
And flush, it was gone.
Which lead to the rest of my morning of all the cleaning I had been putting off, it all got done because where did that mouse come from? Where has he been and how long has he been in the house?
The kids, especially my daughther, have been hoarding. Â My daughter had snacks under her bed, and last week I found some goldfish under my sons bed. Â But cleaning for a mouse problem, is entirely different. Â With bleach.
The good in this was that all the things that have been hanging around in the house, got donated or thrown out. Â We only had to throw 3 boxes of crackers that were left open (we didn’t take any chances of the mouse visiting inside them). Â Everything else was closed up and in Tupperware.
So if you want to get rid of the clutter in your home, put a mouse in it wait an hour and then get to it.
P.S. Â We have 9 traps now set out in hopes that the mouse that we had was a male thinking this was his bachelor pad.
Poor kid has been scarred for life. Will he go to the bathroom again? LOL
He giggled about it later, but he went after the mouse was gone, no problem!

OMG! I know just how you felt. The other night, my hubby found a brown recluse AND a black widow spider in our bathroom! We vacuumed, dusted, picked up and threw out until about 2 in the morning. I even had him flip the mattress so I could look underneath and I changed the sheets! I hope you got all your mice!

I would flip out if it were a black recluse and would probably lay awake and be freak out at everything I felt on my legs if it were me.
So glad I’m not alone in this.

It was an interesting morning wake up at 7:30 this morning for sure.
I’m waiting for the snaps to happen as I write, we have the entire house booby trapped. Bring on the mice!

I so wish you had gotten a picture of that poor mouse doggie paddling in the toilet! That would have been hilarious! My 4 year old son always laughs at me because anytime I see something funny or interesting, I am always running for my camera! I’m always afraid people won’t believe me when I describe something funny that I saw, so I always want proof in the form of a picture! LOL It’s an obsession!

There was no time for a Kodak moment with the mouse. I just wanted it gone. I will try to remember for the next odd moment to snap a picture.

I have to say I was very intrigued by your title but for some reason didn’t really expect to read that you had in fact found a mouse in your toilet!!! You must have been so freaked out!! It is true though, nothing like finding a house guest to do some real deep cleaning!! Hop you have a very happy mouse-less week!!! Lol!

If that happened to me, I would’ve shrieked my lungs out! I just hate mice! Oh, I can just imagine how that mouse scared your son!

How terrible is that! I don’t like to see mice especially in the toilet. If that will happen to me I will probably call someone that can fix and throw it away from my sight.
My luck the thing would have climbed out before we had a chance to call someone to take care of it. ick ick ick. Was not a good day then.

Thanks for stopping by. Those wreaths are very beautiful.
Oh wow! I would freak out and would be totally scared to use that toilet, my worst fear is that I will sit down on the toilet and there will be a snake will be there
I can completely understand. I was telling a neighbor and they told me years ago someone had a snake come in through their toilet. We have septic tanks out here in the country, I’m more freaked out about a snack versus a mouse now. And paranoid.
