My apartment is now sprinkled with mothballs, bay leaves, and/or peppermint extract, depending on the room. It smells quite...interesting in here.
2 live traps were set last night with peanut butter and bread, but nothing's been caught yet.

I just want to relax and watch some television before I go to bed for the night. Some nice unwinding time before I have to get up at 5:45 and start my LOOOONG & heavy day (six straight periods, no breaks, yard duty three times, both my worst groups--one of which I START the day with). But trying to relax is VERY VERY DIFFICULT when you hear the frakking critters scurrying and scratching behind the very couch you're trying to get cozy in. :(

egads, you can hear them?! I've never heard of using bay or peppermint...makes you wonder why the movies always show cheese!

No no, bay leaves and peppermint repel them. ;)
Their favourite food seems to be peanut butter. Although I think they like cheese, peanut butter seems to be the most popular among mice. According to something I read online (BECAUSE EVERYTHING ONLINE IS THE ULTIMATE TRUTH), mice also really like gumdrops. How frakking cute is that?! XD

A month or two before I left my Queen Mary place, I thought I saw a mouse as I was waking up on the couch one evening. I was so paranoid and unable to relax for a few weeks! I know how you feel...

Yes! I very clearly remember this happening and you telling me about it. ;)

How allergic are you to cats? Wanna borrow one for a few days?

I'm EXTREMELY allergic, unfortunately! But thanks for the kind thought. :)
