The little @$&$*#@%*#! just walked calmly across my dining room floor. I slept to much today because of my cold and now I'm up late enough to see him. I'll have to set traps and let the landlord know tomorrow. #201029 - 07/07/11 10:47 AM Re: AArgh!

Difficult part in this that all mice look alike so you can't be sure if "your" mouse is still your mouse or one of his twenty brethren. #201037 - 07/07/11 03:06 PM Re: AArgh!

Is there food out somewhere? or a nest in the walls? Sure hope not. I'm having trouble now with raccoons who like to visit nightly. See their beady little eyes in the moonlight. ----please, draw me a sheep---- #201040 - 07/07/11 04:38 PM Re: AArgh!

Certainly the kitchen is a bit of a mess right now as I am sick with a cold and not keeping up with things. The last thing I feel like doing is leaping up for thorough spring cleaning of my kitchen. #201061 - 07/08/11 03:53 PM Re: AArgh!

I noticed a hole dug into the soil of the big potted palm so I put it outside soaked it with water and shut the patio door (ground floor.) A few minutes later something brown flickered past and disappeared. Ha! I also let the landlord know so pest control can deal with mousie when he comes back with reinforcements. #201092 - 07/09/11 04:55 AM Re: AArgh!

I worry about snakes coming inside, when I leave the door open but I'm told cats are good for keeping them away too! #201095 - 07/09/11 05:23 AM Re: AArgh!
