Question

should i be worried if there is a dead mouse found in my backyard lawn? i never ever seen one running around or anything .....where did it come from? if there is one will there be more?????? what do i do with the dead mouse....

Answer 1

Good lord get a shovel and throw it out. There are other creatures inhabiting this big rock. Not to worry. Perhaps it was old.

Answer 2

Since it's the size of dog p**p, do with it just as you would p**p. Cover your hand with a plastic bag, pick up the mouse, and turn the bag inside out. Put it in the trash.

Presto! No more mouse!

Answer 3

You should just take it to the Vet and they'll keep it and they'll burn it....thats what they did with my fish after it died

Answer 4

That's not unusual. Throw it in the garbage can.

Answer 5

It's outside. Mice are outside. Cats are also outside. I wouldn't worry. Throw it in the garden for fertilizer.

Answer 6

get something to pick it up,it was probably acat killed it.put it in a bag and throw it in a trash can!

Answer 7

it probably ate one of those poision pellets or had been cought by a carniverous bird or animal and been dropped...

you can get a person from a rodent removing company or disposable THICK gloves to do the job

Answer 8

Get a glove and throw it away, as for seeing one dead mouse does not mean there are more in your yard that one may have just happened to die there or a animal left it there..

Answer 9

If it died out in the open, it was probably killed by poison.  You should dispose of it so another animal (a cat or a bird, etc) does not eat it and suffer the same fate.

Put it in a dumpster or other outdoor trash receptacle.  Use a shovel, stick, etc.

A dead mouse in plain sight is a good thing.  It means that other mice near you have probably died, also.  I wouldn't worry.  :)

Answer 10

As long as the little critters stay outside, no problem!

It was probably a field mouse that was caught by a cat or escaped an owl.

Answer 11

Well if you have a cat or your neighbors have cats they probably killed it. Could have also died from a bird or other predator. Little rodents are everywhere. Moles, mice, rats even. If you are afraid of them just make sure you don't leave doors open. As for what to do with it you should either put it in a bag and in your trash or bury it. Just dig a small hole beside it and roll it in and cover it up.
