They're Back!
They're Back! It's that time of the year again and the damn mice are back The other night I was laying in bed, channelling my inner platypus, (C-PAP mask) ready to drift blissfully off the dreamland, when I heard that familiar unwelcomed sound .................... ............................................. ...................................... ............................. .................... .............. ........ .... .. . Bastard mice chewing! Under the bed? Really? I thought it was bad the year they were gnawing away under the garden tub in the master bathroom - I would hear them when I was laying in bed, swing my foot over the edge of the bed and stomp on the floor, they would stop for a second.......then start right back up again. The cycle repeated ad nauseum, but the bedroom this year? oh my! Next I saw one of the dirty vermin on the counter in the kitchen next to the stove. He just sat there like he owned the place giving me the evil eye. I picked up a frying pan and tried to whack him but he was too close to the wall. That freaky rodent held his ground. By now the other half joined in the fun and I was screaming for him to grab him......get him! He tried to wrangle him up by his tail and nearly got bit for his efforts. Then the filthy creature wised up and dove behind the stove. I felt the need to bleach EVERYTHING in the house. My best friend, who happens to be turning into the crazy cat lady (she has 9 cats y'all) offered to "loan" me one of her pussies but I have opted for a much more humane tactic........... P~O~I~S~O~N Eight lil wedges of poison pellets were strategically placed through the residence and then the waiting game started. Do y'all know what rodents do when they consume D-con? They search for water because they have an overwhelming thirst. Day three - SUCCESS! A teeny, tiny, nasty lil mousie body was floating in the toilet. *flushing noise* Woot Woot! |

There are still at least two small rats living in the walls of my house. I've taken out 4 giant ones this year with my Havahart steel trap which captures them whole and alive but the smaller ones can wigglee out of it! I think I need a mouse sized Havahart for these smaller ones. Once cuaght they get a one way ride to the canyonlands. I once found a drawer which mice had been using to crap in.

Killer! Good job. I heard a sauce pan lid "ding" the other night in the pot storage area. I did the same thing with the pellets. It was raining, so out side is where I hope it happened.

|
You just reminded me it's been a while since I put new moth balls around under the house......I will fix that ASAP!

Cats have a nasty habit of playing with the mice and then leaving the headless body on your pillow. Check around your place, mice like living in piles of debris like stacks of wood. They prefer living outside and using your place as a restaurant.
