To me nothing says sweet dreams better than pulling back the covers on your bed to see a piece of mouse poop on your pillow.
No really that's what I saw. I stared at it for a minute. Then moved Chad's poop free pillow to see 3 more pieces of mouse poop under it. Obviously we changed the sheets and then proceeded to try and find where the heck the mouse had come from.
We knew we had a mouse that kept getting in to some of the lower built in drawers where we keep Chad's shorts. But I had no idea it was in my room living under my bed. I promise we dont' have a ton of crap under there either. But I did discover a half eaten granola bar that was probably sustaining this little mouse's life.
We did set up a bunch of sticky traps a week ago. We checked one of the sticky traps only to find a strip of mouse hair left on it. So there's a mouse with a wax job running around.
I spent my Saturday vacuuming up every crumb in the entire basement. We're talking move every piece of furniture kind of vacuuming. Then, Chad searched for holes and set up 8 of the old school wood snap traps.
As of now we have caught one mouse. I'm pretty sure there are more. I'm just confused at how we can go ALL winter without a mouse and now in June we seem to be having an invasion?

Oh, gross! We have them in our garage, so I can't begin to imagine how awful it must be to have those little critters in my bed.
Honestly, I guess we should be thankful for their poop. If it weren't for that we probably wouldn't know we even had them.
oh I so know what you mean. We had a problem not too long ago, but they were rats!! And we caught 7 in one night!! Oh it was gross.
Just the thought of a mouse with a wax job makes me laugh though. Oh good thing you have a sense of humor about it all. :)
Happy hunting, and just think its only for a little while longer. Hopefully there will be no mice in your new place in TX :)
