Ugh! It is almost three in the morning. Less than an hour ago I awoke to the sound of chewing. If you have ever had mice you know what I am talking about. As a girl I had pet gerbils, and two pet rats. Now I have mice. Again. Only this time they are not contained, and they are not welcome.
A couple of weeks ago we saw signs of them in our pantry. My hubby was quick to set traps and we caught 3 in the first four days. But since then when the traps have been checked the peanut butter has been meticulously cleaned from the trap, and the traps are still waiting to spring. It is like the mice waving their little tails at me as if to say"neener, neener" and to night I actually watched it run across our hangers!
These varmint are unwelcome little guest. As I type this, my husband just flushed one down the toilet, so that make 4 down now...how many more of these buggers to go? I want to rid my house of this...ugh! I feel like I could vomit at the moment, and am not sure what we can do. We have set traps, laid out poison, but we have to be careful with that because of little ones. Plus we have bought those sonic sound things! I wish I was not allergic to cats. Believe me the thought of becoming a cat woman has crossed my mind.
Mice are also reluctant to enter a house with a dog.
