Losing the Rodent War

Timothy Birdnow

Things have been quiet on the rodent front and I thought perhaps my efforts to liquidate them was starting to pay off. No such luck; last night the two brown speckled mice set up a tennis court, and the gray mice hosted a game of pinochle on my dining room table, complete with open bar and Cuban cigars. It felt like a Caribbean resort for rodents!

Later in the night I heard one of the snap traps pop and thought I had nailed at least one of the little love children, but when I looked there was nothing there; it had set the trap off just to mock me, I fear!

I fear I am losing this war.

My wife will no longer hang out on the main floor since it is now occupied enemy territory. I don't know why they haven't come upstairs yet but I am thankful they have not.

I thought about trying to shoot them with a bb pistol, but I doubt even when I could see I could hit them; they are so very fast (although I used to be a crack shot.) Maybe I could toss a net over them or something. Perhaps The Cone of Silence from Get Smart...

Anybody have any suggestions?

1 Timothy, your best bet is a pest control company which specializes in rodent control. We had a similar problem, They were getting into the walls and sometimes dying in there, stinking like... Yecccch. Turned out they were getting in through a cover which the cable guy left off of the cable tv service access. At any rate, these rodent control guys are specialists in not just killing them off, but in finding and blocking their access.

2 I've given Tim suggestions about the internals, but yes, Bill, he needs help with the entry points. Somehow those little demons are coming in, and they need to be stopped. We have that problem here in Minnesota on occasion; a friend of mine found the entry point a few years ago and, problem solved. I told Tim about Terminix traps which were offing the little darlings inside the house, but it IS better if they never get in at all. Them -- and Democrats.
