I had planned to write something… else today. I’m not sure what, though. Maybe it was about Christmas decorations?
I really have no idea because all of my brain function is dedicated to this: OMGTHERE’SAMOUSEINMYHOUSE. EATING MY STUFF. IN MY TRASH. WHAT IF I FIND IT SOMEWHERE? WHAT IF IT FINDS ME?
We have caught several mice in the garage since living here. I know we should probably be using humane traps and releasing them, but what we have here isn’t an isolated incident, it’s mice. MULTIPLE. Don’t tell Stimey. I was less than pleased with the mouse problem in the garage, but we live in new construction and it’s to be expected, I guess. As long as they were confined to the garage, I could shut the door and ignore them.
Now they’re in my house. IN MY HOUSE. I have called our pest control guy, and it’s been twenty-five minutes, and he hasn’t called me back. I realize that he won’t be able to solve the problem immediately, but I’ve got this mental picture of him as a Ghostbuster. I’m not sure where I’m going with that.
MOUSE IN MY HOUSE.
Yikes!! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteUgh. I so feel for you!
ReplyDeleteWe had a mouse problem in our old house. Problem as in they were running around in the walls and waking us up at night. Yeah it was gross. The only thing that worked was putting poison everywhere. Fortunately it was in the winter so they didn't smell (I didn't smell anything at least) and then we sold it. Oops.
I've had mice a few times (once in an apartment, once in a house) and it is never fun. Also? It's never just one mouse. And as many options as there are, I've had the best luck with the old school traps.
ReplyDeleteGet a cat. Then you will mostly just find dead mice in cat food bowls, mummified mice, and if you are really lucky...half a mouse. And then the other half a few months later:{
ReplyDeleteMice. Mice. UUUGGGGHHHHH. Husband has a snake that needs to be fed live mice. I cannot even be in the house when that happens. It is just too horrible.
ReplyDeleteDid your pest guy call back?
ReplyDeleteYou can also call OC Vector Control and they will put those big black box traps outside your house for free.
Hope you got little Miceky.
