We've corralled a chunk of our adorable mice problem. The disgusting vermin are in a box. We have three: a larger brown and white mouse and 2 tiny gray ones that act like they're the larger one's babies. I gave the little monsters a Snapple lid filled with water once I realized this batch was too scared to try to escape when I opened the box. Then

What horrible beasts, I hope they get fat and spoon and live forever.

I just found out that wild mice often carry diseases that don't affect them, but can make humans who make too much contact with them very sick. It'll be my pleasure to send Mouseypoo to hell.

I don't want them to die; I guess if you don't mind lyme disease and the plague and that other thing they carry?

Just so that you're aware, this is a reply to my post advertising the free mice:

"She's right keeping wild mice is a bad idea. That looks like a deer mouse which are vectors for lyme disease, Hanta virus, and plague. Hanta virus and plauge haven't made it to Maine yet as far as i know but better safe than sorry. I've live trapped them before for a study and had to wear a mask and gloves whenever I went near the traps. You should take them outside as soon as possible and keep your face away from them and their feces.

They need to be gone from this apartment as soon as possible.
