    Default Mice!

    And, of course, the ILs are arriving on Thursday for visit #2 for this year.

    We caught one Sunday night and two last night, but had to send The Biscuit into another room to get a toy for school this morning (not that I really wanted to have to keep up with a toy, but so be it) so that he would not see us putting one that still was alive into a plastic container (thanks Chinese restaurant, your containers are really great for disposing of vermin because they stay closed!) for disposal.

    Yeah, it's going to be a great weekend!

    Ugh! I am so sorry. In the 3.5 years we've lived here, we've had mice twice. So not fun. I hope you get rid of them all very soon!

    Right there with you - - and I'm tired of hearing they just want to come inside and get warm too! BLEH!

    OR.... if someone else tells me there's always 20 more you don't see for the 1 you do.....

    Good luck.

    Ugggggg!
    I really hate mice... But I think I'm more horrified that this is the 2nd IL visit of the year! If that's since January 1, I'd be p!ssed!!!!!

    They chewed through my backseat and did $1500 damage. Dealer never found it either. It was awful.

    Right?? I thought the same thing - the year's only 7 weeks old!

    As for the mice, these traps hide the body:

    but I swear by these, we call them the Jaws of Death:

    Actually I thought Ortho made those too, but maybe it is TomCat.

    I caught 8 last week. Every time it gets cold, they come in.

    My mouser has been spending a fair bit of time staring at the open space for the radiator behind the vanity, so I'm guessing she's keyed on to some mice activity there.

    Since one just does not simply walk into Mordor, I say we form a conga line and dance our way in.
    Excuse me, are you in a play​?

    Hmmm . . . Those jaws of death look effective . . . I might have to pick some of those up over the weekend!

    They already are planning visits 3 and 4. I am trying to plan how to get out of town during visit 4 (at least for overnight). And don't let's talk about their attempts to have us spend Memorial Day weekend at their house in BFE.
