That sounds like Cris Collinsworth narrating.

I decided to catch it in a container and flush it down the toilet, and did just that.
Pops out of the air conditioner like the Kool-Aid Man.You know it is now living in the sewers. Once it grows to 16 or 17 feet long it will come back and murder everyone you know and love.
I figure there is no "painless suffocation," however back in the day I used to chloroform butterflies and moths. I had a collection, mounted and labeled. I got my chloroform from an older guy, a buddy of mine who taught me the fine points in lepidoptery. I suppose he bought it at a pharmacy, don't know if you can still do that. It's toxic, to a degree. It will put an animal to sleep rather quickly if it breathes a high concentration. You could place a cotton ball on top of an open bottle, permeate it somewhat with chloroform and drop that in a plastic bag and then the rodent and it would go to sleep fast. Then you smash the bag with a brick for instant death, then dispose.I don't have much experience in painless suffocation of small animals.
I wonder how this mouse got up on my kitchen counter.
Not exactly. But it had to jump some to get there.You're obviously new to vermin.
Yes, I didn't think of that. I would have brought it out to the patio and slammed the bag with a board or brick... if I'd thought of it. Next time...I would at least have made it a quick death. You put it in a plastic bag and slam it against a hard surface. No mess, you then dispose of the bag as is. If you really want to be sure, stomp on it. While it sounds pretty morbid it's a much faster death than drowning, or worse, somehow surviving the journey to the filtration plant and chemically dying.
I caught a mouse alive once in a snap trap and did this to quickly kill it. Just a word of advice, if you do stomp on it, make sure you don't create an air pocket that will make the bag burst. I never did get that stain off the concrete floor. Lady MacBeth moment right there.
