I have not been able to blog, anything of real worth, lately for this one reason:
My house has mice.
I can't even talk about it. Not in any kind of depth because I then get paranoid all day.
So I let Spencer worry about it... well I let him put the death traps up. I don't get out of bed until he is up, and has gone to the kitchen. He then gets to see what the "reaper" traps gifted us that morning, not me.
Until last night I was living in my bubble of "we don't really have rodents".
Spence and I were talking and all of the sudden we hear something, sounding like a "thing" crawling up my wall.
W: "That has to be a mouse"
S: "Yep - sounds like it." He slowly walks over to the kitchen to see if he can catch anything in the act. Nope.
The sound again, right next to where Spencer's head was. {high up on our dividing wall}
W: "Ummm that is sounding a little big for a mouse." I feel dizzy.
Here is the sum up - yes we do have mice. We haven't caught anything in a while... but we have caught 5 in the last month. Nasty I know. We talked to our little cougar of a neighbor {in a good cougar way, no not BYU} and she tells us the good news.
We have attic squirrels. Oh yea. Nice way of saying "We all have attic rats".
So the nice little frolic that happened inside of our wall last night was done by an acrobatic rat. One with a long tail for the "whipping against things" effect.
It is like surround sound.
Come visit.
Between the ants and mice I am so done. So done I tell you.
Someone find me a home that is cheap where I live.
Please.

sticky traps with Peanut butter it is the only thing we could find that worked. When our house in Indio was surrounded by construction we had a problem and our house was only 2 years old EWW I know how you feel especially laying in bed at night hearing the little vermin in the walls. GOOD LUCK!!

Oh, now I have the shivers. I hate mice! I love the surround sound comment...it really is true!
Sick. But unfortunately, I can relate far too well.
dude. not cool. that is all i have to say. i'm worried they are going to make you want to move or something. can't wait for all hallows eve with the ice queen!!
I had rats at my old house and when I realized it I took my kids and went to mom's until they were gone. When my husband finally got them all gone my kids and I came back. The body of the rat was about 12 inches long not including the tail. Talking about it still gives me the chills and it has been a few years. I feel for you. I really hope you can get rid of them quick.
