One word for all of you: cat.

It's actually easier to deal with 6 caught mice each year than cleaning out a litter box 52 times in that same year. Smells less too.

Shawnee123 10-10-2008 11:46 AM

heeheee...will your dead mouse cuddle with you at night?

Now, what deters spiders? Maybe I should get an anteater? :blush:

lol! I thought of borrowing the neighbor's cat last night to take care of my little problem for me....The kitty was already in bed, too late!!!

We have seen what that cat does to mice.........

I don't want Wild Kingdom going on in my home: I've heard that mice can smell cats and won't bother a home in which cats reside. I've never seen a mouse anywhere I've lived where I had my cats, and I've lived in some old places where you might expect mice.

Bats however, those fuckers don't care if you have a saber-toothed tiger in your house, and the cats think they're fun. :shudder:

That's why I borrow the cat and invite it over every once in awhile. To deter mice. My neighbor who owns the cat has mice as well. We are both on the war path with mice right now. These mice are getting aggressive.(large field=field mice=pest outbreak during the fall)

I am allergic to cats and can not own one.

I had mice in an old apartment once. I'm not even really afraid of them, but when one runs across the kitchen floor I will freak out like a girl!

Cicero 10-10-2008 12:10 PM

They don't freak me out. I think it's gross and I want them gone. Now killing them freaks me out. Don' wanna.

When they screw with my puppy's food bowl, well, that really pisses me off. (not just gross anymore)

The truth is, they piss me off, they are gross, but they are really cute when you get a good look. They have just gone too far. I hear one now...further illustrating my point. It is at my puppies dish again and it should learn from the example that was made of it's little friend/family member last night.....and the two others that accidentely drowned in the sink.

Mice are actually life threatening. They sometimes chew the insulation off wires and burn houses down and kill people. In some areas they carry life threatening illness.

I have no qualms about choosing me over them.

Shawnee123 10-10-2008 12:22 PM

It's a lot harder to clean up after a life-threatening illness than it is to clean a litter box 52 times a year. Smells worse, too.

:)

Just messin' with ya, glatt.

Cicero 10-10-2008 12:43 PM

Yes. They are nasty. When nasty vermon hang around my puppy and it's dish, it's war.

WAR!!

We just recently went thru this.... starting with isn't "it" kinda cute, to catching/releasing outside, to "the motherfuckers are shitting in my kitchen, stomp on their heads!!!"

We ended up with traps that squashed and then electrocuted the bastards. All better now. :)
