How did this mouse get into a closed upper cabinet with no holes to eat a candy bar?

When you need some chocolate, you find a way.

@PickyPicky3 Was it a "Three Mousketeer" bar?

Believe it or not a mouse can fit through a hole as big around as a pen!

Ugh! I had some mice in the walls last winter, I CANNOT go through that again! Horrible.

HATE THEM!!!! And you don't just get one--they bring their friends and family.

Yuck! I had those in my house a few years ago. Minnie got through the vent on the outside of the house and went into the crawl space. Then she had babies. I didn't know they were there until I opened a kitchen cabinet and a little one was swinging on the shelf like a trapeze artist. They got into my food storage in the basement and had a party. They opened a bag of powdered sugar and threw it all over. Then they peed on it and all my canned food. One of them had a litter of babies that I found in the pressure cooker. What a nightmare! I put a mesh cover over the vent and they chewed right through it. Next step was a thick metal mesh. I haven't seen any since but it's an all out war if I do.

My newest nightmare was the 3 black widows I found in my yard. Two were in the carport and another on the other side of the property. I haven't seen those in a long time so I think the unusually hot summer gave them time to breed. I hired a company to come and spray for spiders and I feel safer.

We rarely get a mouse even with living in the country. I think the stray cats we feed take care of them before they get inside. Usually we get 1 or 2 very small deer mice every 4 or 5 years. Our older cat is NOT a mouser. Traps did the trick.

Last week DD and I were watching TV and she suddenly yelled, "oh, %*#$^, mouse. Tiny deer mouse with Petunia in hot pursuit. Petunia won. DD took the decedent outside."

Haven't seen one since. Petunia was not happy we discarded her trophy.
