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. Top #201029 - 07/07/11 06:47 AM Re: AArgh! [Re: Zed] Candy Pooh-Bah Registered: 09/21/10 Posts: 1706 Loc: down under you need a cat Zed!

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. Top #201037 - 07/07/11 11:06 AM Re: AArgh! [Re: BranShea] LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 8433 Loc: Land of the Flat Water They have the tendency to come inside when the weather turns colder, but you should be in the summer season. 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---- Top #201040 - 07/07/11 12:38 PM Re: AArgh! [Re: Zed] Zed Pooh-Bah Registered: 08/27/02 Posts: 2154 Loc: British Columbia, Canada It's an elderly apartment building so my guess is a nest. 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.

[Re: Zed] Zed Pooh-Bah Registered: 08/27/02 Posts: 2154 Loc: British Columbia, Canada I think I got the mouse outside. 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.

I worry about snakes coming inside, when I leave the door open but I'm told cats are good for keeping them away too! Top #201095 - 07/09/11 01:23 AM Re: AArgh! [Re: Candy] LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 8433 Loc: Land of the Flat Water Yes, you could get a cat. I wouldn't, but you could. _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep---- Top #201101 - 07/10/11 12:25 AM Re: AArgh! [Re: Zed] Zed Pooh-Bah Registered: 08/27/02 Posts: 2154 Loc: British Columbia, Canada To paraphrase Dave Mitchell why would I get a large furry animal I don't want, to solve the problem of a small furry animal that I don't want.
