Mouse War Update:
Mouse: Somewhere in my kitchen
Hope: Losing ground and sanity
I've had a mouse in my house
for almost 2 weeks.
There have been 6 verified sitings.
All by me.
My husband has learned that it is better not to tell me about mouse sighting rather than have the family endure the results.
The last sighting was yesterday. I heard a crinkle. Froze. looked over and saw THE mouse with a crouton (herb and garlic, no less) in his fat little cheeks, make his way down the burner element of my gas range.
Current status.
All kitchen surfaces are empty.
12 baited mouse traps are set. Untouched after almost 24 hours.
The cats have been boarded into the kitchen with a very large bowl of water and no food.
Take out only being served.
Hope: on High Alert, with rubber mallot close at hand.
That sucker is going to die at least as painful a death as Misty's snake.
My next step:
A dedicated exterminator

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I can handle ALOT of things, but a mouse in my house reduces me to a nerve-ridden maniac. So I can relate.
I can so relate Hope. It is amazing how powerless and unnerved that can be. I have been there! It is not fun and not something I want to repeat. They say peanut butter (a little bit) on the trap works well...but I must have had some sneaky little suckers cause my mice still licked all the peanut butter off without snapping the trap (it will eventually work..but it is not foolproof) - I wish you luck!
Why is it that mice find stoves the perfect hidey home to raise thier little offspring?
Want my snake? I still have two left in the yard!
Ugh! It sounds so awful.
I wish you tons of luck.
offspring!!!
offspring!
I never thought of offspring, I'm booking a room.
Oh I hate mice! Well okay I hate all creepy crawly things... But I really freak out when a mouse is in my house! I do not deal well at all! I am with you Hope maybe you should get that hotel room, and call an exterminator! Hope your mice troubles will end soon!
Oh yeah, Bill Murray did it right. There are very few problems which cannot be solved with a suitable application of high explosives!
Yeah, Hope, cause it's probably only one mouse that won't share where it's living so it won't have to share the croutons!
OH I feel so dirty if there is a mouse in the house.
Try Peanut butter on the traps. Works like a charm on eastren Mice.
If Not I'll fly out and help you with this War!
