You know how lots of Disney movies have some (or many) adorable animals as supportive cast?
Their little squeaks and chirps are cute enough to record and play for your wake-up call every morning.
On Cinderella its’ Gus-Gus.
Cute, squeaky little fella. Just want to see him smile, watch him eat, and poke that cute little belly of his til you’re blue in the face.
Well, this is no disney movie.
And when you catch 4 mice in your laundry room in one day….all you want to do is throw up.
Yep, FOUR IN ONE DAY!
Ok, I know that since having kids I’ve let the house go a bit. I don’t really wash windows anymore or pull out the extended ladder to wipe the living room fan blades.
But it’s not nasty. It’s not a little mice haven.
What in the world????
Is it because even though we’re in a neighborhood, it’s kind of out like we’re in the country a little? Is it because they’ve been living in the attic and we’re demo-ing that bad boy down? Why are there mice everywhere???
Anybody ever dealt with this?
I’ll take any advice. I promise.

Hey Shaunna,
Living in an OLD house has us finding "meece" (that's mice in plural) quite often but especially in the fall when the little varmints are looking for a warm place to nest. We had them SO bad this year that the hubster ditched the mousetraps for the poison. I couldn't figure out what all the racket was in our bedroom ceiling (sounded like they were re-arranging furniture or even making some!) until we realized that it or they were dragging the poison "bisquit" around with them. There were some nights that it woke me from a sound sleep.
Gross, gross. I hate mice. Out in the country at all and you can get them. You don't have to have a dirty house. And yes, probably demo-ing the attic probably has much to do with it. Hope that you get them. And the laundry room is so much better than the kitchen or bedroom.
I feel your pain…really I do. When we got back from our 2 week Christmas vacay, the mice had moved in!!!! In about a weeks time we caught 8! Yes, EIGHT!! They had literally been in every room of the house, except one. Then they had eaten through my Beauty Control neck wrap and carried those barley seeds through all the rooms but 3!!! I literally had to clean everything from top to bottom!!!
Hi Again Shaunna
All I could do was laugh. When we lived in a farmhouse in Enterprise, we seriously hunted those suckers down with BB guns! It got to be a game. Eeek, I'm so sorry! I have no idea how to solve the problem. It was a rental, so there wasn't much we could do except keep the gun loaded!
Oh oh oh ew! Mice give me the creeps AND I can't stand even thinking about it. Even though I live in an 85 year old farmhouse, I try to pretend that there's no way they can get in. Even though a large raccoon could probably penetrate this place. Lisa~ http://www.livingmybestlifeii-lisa.blogspot.com
You can borrow our cat! Love your blogs! Your babies are beautiful.
I suggest singing "ahhh, ahhh, ahhh" and then a witty little song about cleaning up the kitchen.–hey it worked for enchanted ^_^
