The mice just squeak past me because I have a cat, but I do have a mouse attached to my computer, does that count?
I have an Italian friend that uses fresh cheese in his mousetraps, because like he said with his Italian accent, “that’s a Gouda way to catcha the mouse.”
Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.
Nope, no problem with rodents, but I did recently have a couple of uninvited house guests; 2 very juvenile possums. During our very hot weather, I left my patio door open in the evening hours, to allow cooler air to come in, and, without a screen, apparently these little critters decided to explore. Cute little guys, and very unafraid of human contact. I was able to corral them in a large shopping bag and evict them into the back yard. Guess I’d better get a screen door, to protect against future uninvited guests.
We have a possum that comes late at night and finishes whatever dry cat food the cats don’t finish. Cute little thing too! After it is done eating, he/she cleans its face with the cat water. Silly little thing!
Luckily due to our two outdoor cats, we do not have a mice problem. I mean here and there they like to leave us presents or want to come inside the house with the mouse in the their mouth, but I don’t let them inside. If it weren’t for my cats we would have a huge problem. My family and I are moving out of the county this weekend so whoever buys the house will most likely have a mice problem, unless they have outdoor cats themselves.
I have a couple of hundred in my freezer does that count?
Nope… not in the house.
Indirectly I have a lot of feral cats in the area that leave parts of mice, gophers & voles laying around on my driveway but I don’t mind that, they’re keeping the population down. Owls yak up the pellets of skin/bone & stuff on my deck railing sometimes…. I just hose it off, that’s about it.
I hate meeses to pieces.
No mice, a lot of gophers and voles.
