Megs....oh my gosh...I am freaking out with you!! I hate Mice. Be sure
and cram a really thick towel under your door tonight, close the door and try to sleep. I don't think they will crawl up on your bed, I've heard they don't like heights.......keep us posted

Haha! Hmm . . . a thing that vibrates and is kept close to your bed! Now, what does THAT remind me of?
We had a mouse in our attic. It sounded like it weighed 20 lbs, it was so loud. I called the exterminator and he said he would put out poison, but I told him I didn't want it dying in my walls. 
He said, don't worry, they usually come running out when they start to "bleed out." 
So... I didn't let him put out poison.
I have heard the glue traps are really inhumane, that the mice will chew off legs and stuff to escape. So I went to the home improvement store and bought one of the "humane" mouse traps. It's actually a small metal cage with a trap door. You put some peanut butter on the little platform inside. The mouse walks in, eats, and the door slams shut. Then squeaky just waits for you to come take him away.
The first time we caught the mouse, I discovered it was tiny! DH took it to the end of the street and set it free. Bad idea... it was back in the attic the next day. The next time we caught it, DH took it to a park about 2 miles away and it hasn't come home since!!
I highly recommend the cage traps.

Megs - at least its not insects - ugh!! I would freak out more if I ever saw a roach - ugh ugh ugh! When I lived in a nurses home during my training (which was about 200 years old and very spooky) my carpet broke out in crawling insects one hot summer night -I freaked!! Oh my god that really was the pits - I had to sleep on the floor of one of the other girls rooms and attack them with insecticide the next morning.
I do feel for you though!

no. he's not looking for a pick up game somewhere. hes hungry. the best thing to do if you don't want to hear it scurrying around is to keep all the lights on at night. sleep with something over your eyes.
and an axe by your pillow (sorry couldn't resist!)
wow, that's a great idea ^^caannie said:
