Default Dang Mice!

Last year, some of you will remember, a MS mouse made a comfy home in my Van in the garage (attached to house) .. The little sh** ate some of the wiring and it cost me about $800.00 to have it all fixed... But the guys put a trap there and I haven't heard from the little monster.

Untill now, that is. Now, another MS mouse made a nest in my stairlift circuit board and shorted the thing completely out. The new circuit board cost me another $800.. I think Mickey & Minnie like it here.

I call them MS mice, because, they are probably the jerks that science cured of the mousy MS disease and they came to laugh at me ' cause I still have it, no thanks to them..

Anyone else have trouble with mice and how did you get rid of them? My SonIL used to be an exterminator and, if he gets off his lazy butt and gets over here with some traps, as I have asked of him, the little @#$%^$#@ may not pizz and pooh all over my new circuit board.

On the way to the poorhouse...Help!!

Geez, Sal, that's not cool. I'm no expert but I hear they're delicious with a nice chianti and some fava beans.

Smack* She said...Mice...not Rats! Look up Mice in your cookbook dear.

Everyone knows that chianti and fava beans go with rats! Geez!

During the cold months, we will get mice in our garage (we get field mice). We put traps with peanut butter out -- the mice can't resist the peanut butter. There are also sonic critter chasers that plug in that annoy them and they won't want to venture into the garage - sometimes it works. If not, the traps get them!! There are also containers or blocks of bait that will kill them. By the way, I love mice - in a cage or in the woods.

I have also had snakes in the HOUSE!!!!!! They hatched in the walls and started coming out and again my cats did nothing. In fact one of my cats was curled up with one.
