For awhile now my mum and I have known we have mice in our place. We could hear them in the walls, but we never saw any of them because the kitties always were there and they didn't dare come out.
About a month ago or more we noticed some mouse poo in the pantry. Ok, we clean it up. No biggie. Then one day I go to make dinner and get the new bag of unopened pasta from the pantry. When I pull it out there is no pasta left in the bag, just a little hole in the side as evidence. I was actually more amused by this than creeped out. I like mice, as long as they stay where I can't see them or interact with them then I'm fine (I don't mind pet mice, I like seeing those guys and holding them).
Anyway, for the past week or so I've been noticing more mouse poo in the pantry and more holes in boxes. Now we have a bigger problem. I was going to clean out everything earlier, but just ran out of time. Until today.
There must be a small country living in there. I have never seen so much poo and evidence of mice in my life. It's disgusting. I've pretty much thrown everything out that wasn't sealed in plastic containers.
Now comes the fun task of vacuuming and disinfecting everything. I guess mum and I are going to be paying a trip to the hardware store tomorrow to get some humane traps.
