Hmmm. Sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle. I know you have a heart Sally so there's no easy answer here. Sorry. Don't feel bad.

Jules mentioned a kitty cat. If there's one mouse there might very well be other meeces. I think you could consider a low maintenance kitty for the house (they really do deter rodents) or a call in to the pros to do the extermination thing.

how's it going today?
