They're cunning little buggers. We had some at home and they just wouldn't bloody leave, despite all our 'humane' traps. They seemed to prefer the cupboard with cakes and biscuits in it (unsurprisingly), so my mum put everything in impenetrable tin boxes. We thought they'd gone. On Sunday night I opened that cupboard's door and a little brown mouse scuttled out in front of me *shudder*. They've evidently not gone - I recommend embracing the mice :p
I'm not going to embrace the mice while they keep waking me up! I will embrace them when they are living in a field somewhere but not while they keep threatening to share my bed with me ;)
An ex has just recommended the sonic repellant things so I am going to cave in and splash out 15 quid in the name of my mental health :p
I'm actually quite tempted to drive the two hours home and pick up one of the cats for a night but am worried that one of the mice may have actually touched the poison and as well as dismembered mouse parts everywhere I'd have a dead cat ;)
I hate mice. That is, I hate them when they're on my turf. (It's like the spiders in the basement--they're welcome to stay as long as they aren't on me, my furniture, or somehow otherwise bothering me.) Mice are even worse when they're in a wall or the ceiling and making those goddamn scritchscritch scratch pingthunk scitchscritch noises. It always sounds just like they're going to scratch or chew their way through and fall on your head.
The worst was when we'd put poison in the ceiling (they're tiles, so we can do that) and it failed miserably at getting rid of them. Later we found numerous dead mouse bodies hidden in the ceiling when we took tiles out, but that's another story *gag*. My dad then decided a humane trap would be a good idea, which he put in right over my bed without telling me. So one night I was peacefully dreaming and all of a sudden I'm awoken by a loud
SNAP THUDTHUDBANGTHUDSQUEEEEEEEEAAAKKtype noise from above my head! It kept moving around in the damn trap for about an hour, as I was awake to watch the clock. In
