How do I get rid of mice. I don't care at this point about being humane. Two nights ago I had one in my livingroom and I have all the couches pulled from the walls so the cat has easier access. I was working with the cat me holding a broom stick sliding it under the couch where the mouse was (cat was letting me know big time) and then it, the mouse ran to the sliding glass door as my butt jumped on the coffee table with the broom whispering bailey here, here why I'm whispering I don't know. So i'm done being nice and the stupid traps I have don't do squat. I had set a trap with cheese in it and the next morning, no lie, the thing was snaped and the cheese was gone!!!! NO MOUSE! It was like stealing candy from a baby. I bet that little mouse was laughing the entire time eating it. I'm hesitate to do poisen b/c of the kids and animal and I don't want the mice to rot in the house and I can't find them, ewww what a great smell that would be. Oh and I have downey dry sheets stuck everywhere b/c I heard they don't like it and it keeps them away!
Okay fast forward to today. I went to walmart and bought 4 different kinds of mouse traps. I did get a mouse last night but it wasn't by any of the "new" mouse traps it was from the above mentioned mouse trap that hasn't worked for the last week! I feel aweful but the little critters can't live here in this house. So I will bury it and then reset it.
Oh and I can't forget to share this lovely mouse story. On Saturday my lovely daughter Emmy went to the bathroom and she comes tome and says mommy there is some thing yucky on the floor and I stepped in it. So I was like great the cat or dog threw up. Well I was right so I help Emmy wash her foot and send her back to bed. WELL, I put the light on to clean the mess and oh my god it was the most grosses thing I have seen in a long time. Bailey my cat had caught a mouse ate it and then threw it up! GAG. I was a mess of blood guts and little bone must have been the foot or something. Needless to say I was gagging the entire time cleaning that mess and it was a terrible mess and I couldn't eat for a long time just the vision had my stomach turning for hourse. Still makes me shudder.
So there you have my most exciting week thus far. One mouse down, how many more to go? I don't know.

PS- I'm on the hunt to see where the rodents are coming in from.
Actually I have ewww mouse story, too. We found one drowned in our toilet once we came home from a trip. The most disturbing image of all. I still cringe and look before I go:-).
