Warning, animal rights activists should stop reading right now, I have a love for animals and a dislike for violence, I will leave any creature God created alone as long as they stay in their house (outside) and not in mine. You come in my house...it's grounds for death. Sorry!
I have set traps that look like this. Peanut butter, licked right off, cheese, taken without a crumb left, but never a mouse caught. Nothing!
So I set traps like this, live catchers that were supposed to attract and catch up to 30 mice. they crawl in out of curiosity and can't get out, they just die....Right! Not a one!
So as much as I hate to, I set out packets of poison. A girl has got to do what a girl has got to do and the incessant scritch, scratching and mouse droppings has got to go. You know what they say...were there is one...there is 10. I can't take it any longer... But did the mouse even touch the packet of poison...Oh no! Not our smart country mice.
So what is a girl to do but pull out the big guns!!!

...and with only minimal high pitched screams when he managed to slip past me and run with his tiny little claws over my feet. But to be honest there were a few more high pitched girly screams coming from Sam who was my cohort in the crime.
And I should also mention that Caleb is not very happy at all about the death of an "innocent, darling gray mouse, who never meant anyone harm."
He does not approve of this post as animals were harmed in the making of it. I for one, will sleep better tonight.
I should also mention that Ryan happened to be napping at the time, and didn't even come running when he heard my screams!

Montana Mice are sure tricky. One down 9 to go.
Too funny! I remember the popcorn bag in the basement and the squeals that did bring your father running and then he just laughed at me as I held the popcorn bag closed in my hand with a mouse inside! You rightly come by your hatred for those little critters... sorry Caleb! They just are filthy! and I can't get past that! Glad you caught at least one! Now just prepare for it's youn' ens to grow up!
ugh! it gave me chills....try some of that liquid mouse bate, its a gel, and squirt it on the trap, sprinkle it with hot cocoa mix, and you'll have them caught in the day. i caught 9 in two days like this. two on one trap. so GROSS! i hate mice...i haven't seen evidence of any here yet...inside at least! laughing my butt off that you attacked it with a shoe. i'd be standing on the toilet crying!
Oh my goodness...that is awful. The wrath that would have come from me if my hubby just slept through the whole ordeal. I could totally see Jeron doing that though;)
