Mice

We live in the middle of nowhere and there are mice everywhere! YUK! We noticed mouse poop in our garage and I left them alone for awhile because I didn't want to hurt them. Well, when they seemed to be into everything, I decided something had to be done. I didn't want to use glue traps because they just suffer and starve to death while they are stuck there. So, I decided on old-fashioned traps for a quick death.

We caught one mouse within about 5 minutes of putting out the traps! Notice how it seems to be looking right at me? I just KNEW it was going to haunt me in my sleep that night! EW!



Doesn't it just make you feel like you're right in our garage? :)

I had to get the boys to dispose of the traps because it made my skin crawl to even think about it. Braedy had such a hard time with the fact that poor little mice had given their lives (we found a 2nd mouse the next morning).



Or maybe not.

Braedy was the one who set the traps because it was too scary for me. They thought it was fun. Braedy had a difficult time of it, though.




Or not really.
