Things that go scurry scurry scurry, scratch scratch scratch in the night

    But when the lights go out, the mice will run OVER you while you sleep. Sometimes you will wake up and feel them tugging on the hair on your head or your nose hair.

    EWWWWWW!!!!!

    Ritchie, you are WAY too young to have nose hair.

    I dunno, these young people today grow up so quickly (aint it awful - the favourite refrain of the dub when talking about any current affairs issue)

    Haven't you learned anything. Just say Jehovah and the demons will run like hell back to hell.

    I found out where they were living: in a closet that I haven't opened since I moved in this house. They had destroyed many cherished childhood toys and messed up the carpet.

    In short I had to clean it all out, remove the carpet, seal the cracks with silicone, and then bleach the area around the entrance of the closet. I also had to throw away the breifcase (not exact a briefcase, but more of a bag) that I use for uni. I had to bleach the bag that I use for my laptop and I had to bleach a few books.

    I found out that the mice were there after trapping one. After I opened up the closet, I found another. Now I wasn't able to kill it, but I think it might've gotten thrown away with one of the bags of cherished childhood toys that they had burrowed into. I will have someone set traps up tonight just to make sure.

    A BAD DAY to say the least.

    Well, I was thinking you had squirrels. I had them before.

    If it's mice, then use PEANUT BUTTER in the traps. Works better than cheese. Work the peanut butter into the tongue on the trap, so the mice have to lick it off, and this will set off the trap, almost every time.

    Good hunting. If you find one with horns, mount it. They're rare.

    *lol*

    As far as I can tell, we use both peanut butter and cheese, but cheese is the most used. Thx. for the advice.
