You see one...

... it means you have 10.

Someone just saw a mouse in the office kitchen. Which means if you actually see one, you usually have more than that.

Haven't seen any more in my office, but one of the traps looks like it has fur on it. Like the mouse got away. Bastards!!!

poor liz. it's like they're mocking her with their little mousy ways...

It's like they show up in places I'm not supposed to be anymore...

Lisa said...

To play the devil's (or in this case, the mouse's) advocate, maybe they're not out to get you specifically. :-P

Or maybe they're your anti-conscience... like an evil Jimny Cricket?

Caught the one here while we were away this weekend...damn thing chewed his own leg off to try to get out of the trap. By the time Judy got to him he was still partly attqached and still alive and dragging himself across the floor. She ended up beating him over the head with a broom stick. Slight agression problems there.
Don't you feel better now, liz?

LIke previously stated: "Sticky paper" ;-P
PS: remember, they smell fear ;-)

I have the sticky paper in my office right now. They/it left some fur behind on it. Nothing works, they're too smart. Except cats, that may be next around here.

mare said...

sticky paper doesn't work at all. we've got all kinds of it around here and we still have a mouse problem.

mind you, it doesn't help that kids keep god only knows what in their lockers...

They are relatively smart, but I dont' want to give them all the credit either!

Get the high grade rat rated sticky paper... we had that in the warehouse when I worked grocery, and I'd challenge a full grown human to get unstuck from that stuff.

Alternatively, electrify the floors at night. Keeps out mice and burglars.

Well, doesn't keep them out, so much as zap them amusingly.

Zapping for amusement purposes? hmmmm...that does sound like a progressive idea!!!

I know I (and Liz too) would find it hysterical at this point to stand there as they try to run their little legs off as they get zapped with every step on the floor while heckling "Dance, you little bastards, or your feet'll be burned off!!!"
