Getting rid of Mice

With a net that size I know he’s hoping to catch a much larger one.

So……..

I get home from work and the wife just gets home from her Sam’s Club run (God, I hate it when she goes there………but she does stock the house with toilet paper for the next 6 months!)

So, $500 and 2 hours later of unpacking from the garage to the house, we eat dinner, put the kids to bed, she grabs a glass of wine and I get a beer. To the couch we go to watch a movie.

About 1 hour into the movie, I notice something out of the corner of my eye. Here is a good sized field mouse, coming across the floor, over to the TV stand.

I’m comfortable about it and say to the wife, “HEY check it out, a mouse!”

HOLY CRAP!!!!!! You would have thought a Freddy Kruger came into the house to do some damage! (I guess the wife is afraid of mice!)

After a few screams and peeeeeeeeeeeeeeling the wife off of me, the mouse took off behind the TV stand.

OK, what am I going to do? The wife runs to the bedroom and locks herself in there, so atleast she is out of the way. So, I go back to the couch, knowing he is still behind the TV stand and figuring he is “lost” and doesn’t know where to go. Sure as heck, he pops out, stands on his hind feet and stares at me! Then, scoots across the floor to a plant, stands again on his hind feet and starts nibbling!!!! I’m thinking…….Boy you got balls!!!!!

Still, don’t know what to do. Can’t shoot it with a pellet gun, can’t go beating around with a broom handle. Thought about tackling him…….but I would probably break stuff, let alone miss him completely.

So, I softly get up and he just stares at me…….then zips behind the TV stand again.

Ok;
get a mouse trap………
Put a little peanut butter on it, set it up right next to the side of the TV stand and go back to my couch, movie, and beer.

After about 5 minutes, he pops out, steps over to the mouse trap and starts sniffing. I’m thinking, I got you now!!!! He sniffs, turns his nose and goes back to the plant and starts nibbling again!!!!!

YOU SONUVA………

Now what??????
OK
Time to just suck it up and start chasing…….
I grab the old welding gloves, take a long pull of liquid courage (Mich Golden Light), and decide it is a one-on-one game.

Well, long story tried to made short……he embarrassed me worse that the Patriots making a mochery of the Vikes.

Off the mouse goes, down the stairs to the main floor and into the coat closet……zips in there and bails quickly bails to the basement and into the kids toy closet……UH-OH!!!!

Well, I got smart and removed the peanut butter and placed some good old Velveeta on the trap!!!! Placed a towel along the door, so he couldn’t get out of the closet.

Thinking now, that come early AM, I’ll have a mouse in the trap……..

I didn’t hardly get comfortable on the couch, after telling the wife to come out of the bedroom, when I hear: “CLICK”.

The little guy wasn’t in that closet 5 minutes before he went to the cheese, but he wouldn’t touch the peanut butter.

The cartoon bubble in my head is just spinning!!!!

I am guessing this mouse came over the border to the east !!!

big g

Wouldn’t be the first pesky little critter that ever came over from cheeseville. (I’m surprised this one didn’t take more time deciding whether to hang around.) RU sure he didn’t hitchhike in on some ash firewood from St. Paul?

There is some stuff that a women in North Dakota came up with to repel mice. I think it is called “Farm Fresh”,
I believe you can buy it at Tracor Supply Co.
Some friends of mine have highly recomended it for winter storage of their Boats and campers.

I think the women in ND repel a lot more than just mice!
