Mouse hunt 2008

If you want to know what my life has been like for the past few months please rent Mouse Hunt. My roommate and I have been in an all out war. Holes were plugged up, stoves were pulled out, traps were laid down and I thought we had won. But oh no, these mice are sneaky bastards and moved their hideout from behind the stove to the back of our couch. While checking the hole in my couch for furry friends I came to the conclusion that this was beyond anything we could do. We needed a professional.

I wasn't quite sure what the exterminator would do. Does he lay down traps? Does he lure them out with a flute and skip down the street with a trail of mice behind him? I had no clue.

Our exterminator discovered the source of entry into our house. He also discovered that our counters are not attached to anything and can be pulled out. This house continues to get more ghetto everyday. Behind the counter is a secret pipe that leads to nowhere. Really this does not surprise me. You win house.

So with the pipe plugged up and our ugly pink counters back in place I think we may have won this battle finally. But if the mice do come back can they at least take pity on me and work in my factory making delicious cheese?

Eep! The craziness! Get a cat - they're so good with mice! Ha. We're like one of the only apartments in NY without a rat or insect problem. I feel blessed.

Mouse Hunt was a pretty funny movie. I had forgotten about it until I read your post. lol I think getting a cat is a good idea...they're like automated mouse traps!

Oh I have a cat. He thinks sharing his food with the mice is totally fine. He would rather go after the dust than the mice
