As if I didn't have enough to worry about . . .

T-There is a MOUSE IN MY TINY TWO-BEDROOM APARTMENT. We heard noises coming from the oven and thought it might be a gas leak or something. I joked that it was a mouse and then it came out AND IT WAS A MOUSE. It is black and scary. ;______;

Obviously, I have lived in houses with mice before, but they were BIGGER HOUSES.

*cries* We've taped up the area around the oven with cardboard inserts from my doujin (and the cardboard things my Rightstuf orders come in . . . ahahaha, being a packrat comes in handy) so hopefully it will not scamper about the apartment and will have to go buy a trap or something in the morning.

leperofevil, I want to borrow a cat. ;___;

Ack, good luck!

We had mice a few years ago and it was horrible. Our house has so many holes in the walls, it's impossible to close them up, so it was just coming in and out all the time, peeing and pooping everywhere (and in the walls, too, which left a nice smell that could not be got rid of). We killed a baby one with a trap, but the adult was too smart for that and did not fall for a wide variety of traps. Finally we put down poison. It was a last resort because I knew the mouse would then die in the walls/under the house and probably cause more of a smell, but there was no other option. It ate like four cubes before finally dying (one cube is supposed to be more than enough!). D:

;__; Thanks. Luckily I am moving out at the end of the month, but yeah . . . I am now afraid that if I take one step into the kitchen (totally open and connected to the living room which leads to the bathroom and our bedrooms) it will spring out at me and run across my foot or something. T___T

I used to live in a house with woods in the back and we had a mouse in the kitchen once. We also constantly had problems with them crawling around the rafters and under the overhead lights in the basement (we finished our basement and my brother and I spent 90% of our time chilling down there). So yeah, there were a lot of traps. We used the humane ones at first and then my dad would drive a few miles away and dump them in the ones . . . but then we gave up and used the glue ones . . . and those were REALLY GROSS. But most of the time they were too smart for the traps. *sigh* But they never really came out into the rest of the house or anything . . . We had birds nesting in the walls too. -__-;
