[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 131898, member: 1161"] I like mice etc, they are cute and we've had gerbils and hamsters as pets, but fieldmice have to stay out of my house if they want to live. I once watched a cable program, about people's fears, and on a segment on mice they set up a test kitchen and let 4 mice go in there "overnight". At the end of the time they put a flourescent light on (mice urine glows under the light) and there was urine and urine trails on EVERY surface - on the counters, stove, table top, floor - it was gross. So if they invade my space I have no sympathy. To actually keep them out you have to seal every possible crack and hole, even one as small around as a quarter they can squeeze through. It's pretty hard to find all the small places they can come in. We have an older house backs onto a field, so in fall we sometimes have gotten mice. We haven't had one for a couple years now, so maybe my husband's obsession with sealing all the cracks got them LOL. We now have 2 cats, one who loves to catch stuff in the air, and one who loves chasing and "hunting" toys etc. on the floor, so I'm figuring if we get another mouse he/she is toast. [/QUOTE]
