If you think mice are fun, try bats! Live ones. Two at a time. With only a fly swatter handy, not a broom. That's livin'!

I can't stand those sneaky squeeky things - YUCK - I set tons of traps just to catch one!

When one is caught, I get someone else to get rid of it.

Well there goes my sleep tonight!! I need a strong drink!!! I absolutely hate those little buggers! Am itching all over! ECK!!

Oh, Sewcrafty, that is hilarious. Not that you had a mouse in the house, but your retelling of the tale! My cat has been known to bring them in once or twice. We used to have an outside only cat (stray that stayed) and she would leave little offerings on the welcome mat.

Girl, I'm totally with you!!! I have never had mice until this house. I think its because the garage is under the FR and they get in there somehow. I've plugged up stuff, plugged in stuff, put out traps, etc. Haven't seen one in a 1 1/2 years after that, so I'm wondering exactly how it did this. Maybe because of the heat.
