Dirty Job

QVCkitty1 · ‎05-23-2015

Well I killed a mouse tonight. It's an old house and from time to time one of these disgusting creatures shows up. I usually outsource the elimination of the mouse, but I'm on my own tonight and I couldn't stand the thought of this creature roaming around. So I baited the trap with peanut butter and put it near where last I saw the mouse. It worked and I kind of felt bad for a nanosecond. I'm weirdly proud of myself for taking care of the problem, so if you are still reading , thanks for indulging me,🐭

@QVCkitty1 Way to go! That took a lot of courage since mice are scary and gross. I'm proud of you !

Good for you @QVCkitty1 . You are very brave. I hate to say this, but you should put out another trap. There is rarely just one. Just to give yourself a little reassurance.

@QVCkitty1,

Good for you!

@QVCkitty1 Unfortunately, I have experienced what @Lilysmom1 said. At one point, my DH put out trap after trap. I couldn’t believe how many were caught! We live near a field so may that’s why. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Natureluvr

If you still have "visitors", have someone ( maybe an exterminator, check all around the outside of the house to find entry points. It is amazing how small an opening to our eyes can be....yet they manage to squeeze through, especially when the weather gets colder. Then have the entry points sealed, esp. around spigots.

If you store stuff opened, they will crawl in and build a nest there. I once had a large zippered flip chart carrier stored flat on a shelf in the basement. When I went to use it, there was a crinkled mess of paper in one corner...an empty nest ! I had to clean and sanitized the carry case.

@jklz Yikes! Thanks for that suggestion. We still have a trap set but nothing caught for a while now after the 6-8 in a row. 😬

Many years ago, there was an awful smell in my car. I searched and searched, thinking food had dropped or something. It just persisted and was driving me nuts. I finally had my DH start pulling out the door panels to see what it could be. After “tearing” the car apart, don’t you know there was a dead mouse in a nest behind my radio made out of all the napkins I kept in my glove box?! I no longer keep napkins in my glove box. L O L.
