Well, it has come to my attention that I have lost some valuable readers (cough cough, Josh) because I no longer talk about anything to do with myself, or general fuck ups involving me. So just for Josh, I am writing this post.

Ok, let me set the scene. The other night, my mum went a little crazy as she heard something rustling in her bedroom. She assumed it was a mouse, so she brought Wilma in to have a sniff around. After a short while of looking confused, mother realised that Wilma wasn’t going to find anything. Anyway, the next day Chris planted a mouse trap in the room (making sure Wilms didn’t go in otherwise that could cause painage for her) and waited a day. Nothing was caught, the pro plan had failed. The following few days also uncovered nothing. This was until outside in the garage, we discovered the little fuckers had shat all over the workbenches. That was it, mission mouse-pie had begun. Mouse traps were planted just about everywhere. But, mission mouse-pie failed and nothing was caught.

Today, on a reconnaissance mission around the house, I recorded with my audio equipment (ears) a rustling in the ceiling, followed by a quick squeak and a dash across the ceiling to the other side of the room. It was now apparent that the little ninjas had made base in our downstairs ceiling (as appose to the roof). As the noise I heard was above the kitchen, we trundled up to the bathroom, cleared out the crap that was in the cupboard and found the intruders had been coming into the bathroom through the gap in the floorboards that let the waste pipe from the bath flow into the sewers (sewers, yay!).

Now that we knew where to put the traps the score was one all for us humans. We placed two high-velocity, inhumane traps set with baits of dark chocolate by the hole in the flaw. The below image describes the situation clearly (click it for a larger view).

As you can see, this has already been quite a successful attempt at catching the mice. Because I wasn’t intending to write a post about this, I haven’t managed to get a picture with one of them caught, but if we catch another I will certainly add it to this post. We have currently caught 3 mice! I must say, thats a pretty good count for only one hole! More updates soon (maybe)!

Update!

We caught one of the little fuckers! The count is now up to 6, and more traps are being purchased as we speak. There will be no mice left in our house by the time we’re done with them!
