Re: Mice!

IKR? I can't believe there was a time, long ago, when I thought mice were cute. Too much Beatrix Potter I guess. You know they pee constantly everywhere they go, as well as shit--right? I have a cat now, and he makes short work of them (comes from a long line of barn cats; his full name is William the Bloody for the professional way he slaughtered his catnip mice when he was just a tiny thing), but I used to have them every winter. They can squeeze through a hole smaller than a dime, and every winter I'd think I had every possible way in blocked up, but still they got inside.

Get some of those old-fashioned spring traps and put them along the walls. If you have dogs (or non-mousing cats), consider putting the traps in empty cardboard milk cartons--don't rinse them, let them dry, so the inside smells of dry milk--it attracts them. We always baited ours with peanut butter.

Another thing to do for the duration is to keep your bread in the (cold) oven, and keep things like pasta, rice, dried fruit, oatmeal and the like in glass jars, preferably the bail-top kind with glass lids.

Good luck, anon, and don't forget to swab down everything in reach with bleach water after you've got rid of the nasty little fucks.

Thanks! Urgh, every time I remember the peeing thing I feel disgusted all over again. Mice are awful.

Oh dammit! We had a mouse in the house a little bit ago (but we have a great mouser cats!) and now after reading this all I can think about mouse pee everywhere!

I must have deep house cleaning today.
