Mickey Mouse

The downside to living next to open fields. Open fields when they get graded for new homes, bring out the critters. The critters have to go somewhere obviously.

We have said critter in our attic. Nothing better than waking up at 3am in the morning to scratching of the critter on your ceiling - seemingly mad as hell - apparently pissed we closed off all his access into the house.

Field mice suck. Anthony suggested we put Peanut up in the attic to "hunt" out the mouse since he's a terrier line that was originally bred to hunt vermin. I doubt we'd be able to get Peanut down after though so we are putting up traps instead.

eeek, I hate mice. Remember how bad we had them? I would recommend doing the simple cheap snap traps, lots of them. You'll find which spots are best for trapping and put more in those areas. Once you see the number of mice getting trapped slowing down, You should put out some bromone poison for them far away from Peanut and the kids. Good luck. Hopefully you'll be vermint-free soon.
