As I was scooping dirty laundry up off of my basement floor to put into the washer, I turned around to sort some more, saw SOMETHING out of the corner of my eye. MOVING. LIVE MOUSE. Between me and my escape. <br /><br />PS ~ My husband has been in charge of laundry for months.

We...Let me just tell you about my bucket incident. We had new construction going on down the street. They were clearing lots, etc., which drove field mice out - apparently to my house. We'd had several incidents over a few weeks time. I would catch them on sticky traps and hubby would have to "take care of it." I had a toddler that was generating all kinds of food scraps that I was throwing into the trash bin under my kitchen sink. I noticed those little mouse calling cards in the cabinet by the trash bin, so I suspected they were getting the baby's food scraps out of the bin. So, one night, I placed a sticky trap beside the trash bin under the kitchen sink. The next day, I kept hearing a banging under the sink. I checked and had caught a rather large field mouse on the sticky trap. No biggie - I hollered at hubby to dispose of said mouse. But I kept hearing the banging. I slid the trash bin out and sheepishly peered inside.... hubby had pulled the trash bag out of the bin and had not put a new one back in (dontcha just hate when they do that??) and a smaller mouse had fallen into the trash bin and couldn't get back out. This mouse must have also been in the family way and all the stress of her current predicament had resulted in the birth of several little mouse jelly beans. Momma mouse was jumping trying to get out of the trash bin and the little jelly beans were writhing about.... I'm not really a squeemish person, but I got the heebie jeebies!<br /><br />Hubby took the bin deep into the woods across the street and pitched the whole thing.<br /><br />Haven't really had any problems since. I think Momma must've spread the word....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214160428759882271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-8024893296579117882012-04-14T20:18:03.497-04:002012-04-14T20:18:03.497-04:00We had three in our Chicago apartment in the span ...We had three in our Chicago apartment in the span of two or three weeks. As soon as we caught one, I swear to you another ran across the floor. It was awful! Sticky traps were the only way we could catch them. But the problem became what to do with them THEN! I won't tell you the rest. Just know that finding a dead one drowned in a portable receptacle might be the best luck you could have with such a rodent. So glad it's gone! Sorry you had to deal with that on a Friday!

I knew my brother Jeff (a hunter) was coming to visit that coming weekend, so I told him to take care of it. He went out in the yard with a bag and a shovel, and it was gone. "That's nature, El," he said. Ick!<br /><br />Since that time, I spent a lot of time single and took care of bugs and the like on my own. But I hate rodents, and I'm not sure how I'd deal.<br /><br />One of my tutoring students has a guinea pig, "Isn't he cute?" Nope. But he'd be cuter in a bucket of water.

I had no choice but to slap the cover on the crockpot and carry it outside to rest on the patio until the brave husband arrived home. The crockpot was tossed.<br /><br />On one other occasion, I was trapped inside my in-law's bathroom in the middle of the night with a mouse running circles at my feet. Did I mention that I was five months pregnant? Eventually I plopped a handful of wet bath towels onto the mouse and fled from the bathroom and up the stairs to awaken my sleeping husband who failed to notice my long-term absence.<br /><br />I have additional horrible mouse tales, but I do not want to give you fodder for more nightmares.
