With the cold weather upon us, it's virtually inevitable. We have been hosting at least one mouse in the garage, and you know where there's one there are likely more. I'm not scared of mice, but I am totally grossed out by them. It's pretty much the only thing that Cinderella and I don't share in common. No little shirts or hats for these trespassers. The last time we found mouse evidence, Todd set out a trap and the next day it was caught. No biggie. This time, I can't seem to get him to set out the trap. He wants me to find it, I think, and I'm terrified of running my hand around the shelf trying to find it lest I end up as I'd like the disgusting rodent to end up.
Nevertheless, something must be done. I think he (I assume it's a boy - girls wouldn't leave their feces all over the place like that) has been eating mostly dog food and maybe some wheat so far. I don't think Todd's going to get serious about this war though, until the little guy treads on sacred territory. Hundreds of pounds of wheat? Whatever. But if he tries to get into Todd's bag of Twix, he's a dead mouse.

Have the mice nibbled on any of Todd's baseball cards?
Or games???
Here is one way to try and get rid of mice...
mix equal parts of plaster of paris and sugar and set it out in a margarine dish cut in half for easy access by the little guys.
It worked for us.
And if you can't find the trap, go buy another one...they're not much...maybe a dollar.
We also have had mice. I am not a Cinderella either. Our neighbor told us about a trap that is battery operated. It a little black rectangle and the mouse goes in and gets zapped. A green light stays on and the you know to empty it. I got our at BiMart and I have also seen them at Home Depot. The are a little spendy but well worth it. Good luck.
I am always entertained with your writing. Good luck with the mouse, yuck!
Get HIM!
I have way too much experience in this department I am afraid to admit. What works for us is those little sticky traps. I think we bought them at one of the "marts"...Wal or Bi...I can't remember. Anyways, you just put them down close to the wall were you are finding their "trail" and you will have him in no time. I find them alive in traps and its gross but I'm glad to catch them. The traps are called glue traps...catchmaster is one of the brands and there is another brand with a picture of a blackcat on it. Good Luck!
If you need a good videographer, just let me know. Hopefully you have seen my mad skills.
I prefer poison because then I don't find them!!!!
