After several weeks with no signs of mice, they are back. They are back and being caught mostly under the kitchen sink. To date (as of Sunday morning) we have caught 28. That is right 28 mice have been caught in by mix of methods including a humane and not humane traps, and Hailey. I also don't think I have missed my cats more.

The Man wonders if one that was caught in the humane trap is a repeat customer as it had a distinctive knobby tail. He is now taking them even further way. Yes, the mice are now going for a drive before being released. This is the service we offer here at our Mouse B and B.
We have one idea where they may be coming in and have sealed this off. We will see if this helps. We couldn't seal it earlier because we think they are coming in the basement garage door and needed to be able to get into it until recently. Now it can be closed for the winter. I am actually looking forward to when the snow comes so we can take a look around the house for mouse tracks and see if we can find them around the house and determine where the suckers are coming in.
Let's hope we are near the end of them soon. At this point I feel like saying "hobbies include, cleaning up mouse poop". At least they haven't gotten into the food cupboard and the only damage was the hose to the dishwasher.
Oh no, we had mice a few years ago - with two cats! Not very smart mice. I have heard that when you catch them and put them outside, they make their way back in.
ReplyDeleteHehe, repeat offenders, cheeky mouses!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo of Hailey, isn't she gorgeous!

OMCs those mice are really becoming a big nuisance. Before long they will be expecting room and board.
ReplyDeleteOh mom and I haven't voted for the Festival of Lights fund recipient...we vote for the Cat Rescue
Hugs madi your bfff
28 mice?!? Great dogs in the sky, that is a LOT of mice! I sure hope you can figure out where they are letting themselves in real soon.
ReplyDeleteOz
maybe around the pipes - there has to be some way they are finding their way in
ReplyDeleteUgh....Keeping our fingers crossed that you can get an idea of where they are coming in and put a stop to their hijinks!!

Ugh!! Momma found out that mice got into our Christmas tree box and made a nice little nest. They chewed through the light wires, so Momma had to relight the tree! She put out a bunch of mouse repellant and traps and stuff.

ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
that guys sadly come in groups... it's like in the American Tail movie of Fievel and his friends :o) I wish I would live closer... I'm a good mice hunter :o)
ReplyDeleteOmg I can't stand mice or rats or anything of that nature. I would DIE. I do not ever want to see one!
ReplyDeleteWE think that you should Check the WOODS... fur SIGNS and Arrows Pointing to Your Very Popular MOUSE B & B... Word of it must be spreading like wild... NEXT you will be having SQUIRRELS wanting in...
ReplyDeleteHey, if you want me to come over and help with the mouse hunt I'd be more than happy. OK, granted, I have never yet succeeded in killing anything that actually moves, but it's not for want of trying…
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!
Bertie (ever willing).
We tried the catch and release even driving them miles away. After watching a hawk get one I was done and the exterminator went to work.
ReplyDeleteWE have only had mice in our house a couple of times but they sure can tear up our lawn making trails under the snow. And it seems they move into our camp trailer every winter too

Oh my goodness! Poor you! That is a lot of mice and it sounds really unpleasant! Thank you for using a humane trap, though! I hope you stop getting visitors soon!
ReplyDeleteWow, sharing your house with mousie critters is not fun! I'll be right over to help with the critter bashing. BOL I've heard mice taste just like chipmunk.
ReplyDeleteGrr and Woof,

Maybe Santa Paws will bring you a cat.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Where are they getting in? We've only caught four mice so far this year.
ReplyDeleteOMD, dat are a ton of mice!
ReplyDeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteYikes, that borders on 'invasion' numbers! Good luck sorting out the mystery paths... YAM xx
Of Mice and Men ~ well I think the scoreboard shows the mice are ahead, why the B&B even takes them on scenic rides. Why the mice probably are passing out flyers for your place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend

I've heard if you trap and release mice, the little critters come right back in. We haven't had issues with mice, but oh those squirrels. I've had several holes chewed through vinyl siding and I'm ready for drastic measures!

Yikes! You definitely need a cat. ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry about your almost 87 mice in your house. We always wondered if u sprinkled flour on the floor could pawprints tell u which direction they came from. They probably like the kitchen cause the warm stove will make a nice bedroom fur the B & B.
ReplyDeleteOh, those little mice can be such pests. We hope you find their entry way and get it plugged for good.. Now if we could only find an exit for our dumb bunny . . .
ReplyDeleteWoos - Ciara and Lightning
We have had similar phases!!!! And we drive our mice several miles away after we catch them. We started to "recognize" certain mice, and then I did some reading about how far they can travel. It's a long way!
ReplyDeleteI hope your saga ends soon.
Y'all are fighting mice and we are still fighting crickets.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
I hope your mousys pack their bags and leave!

On the Christmas Card List you have my zip down wrong with my mail going to the other end of the state. My Zip is 45230. No wonder I have but one card.
ReplyDeleteSweet William The Scot
WOW! That is a lot of mice!!!!
ReplyDeleteღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Yikes! that's a lot of mice. We think you should get a cat. The pack enjoys playing with the cats in our house and we have no mice! Just sayin'.... : )
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. 28! That's a lot! Too funny about the repeat offender being driving to new digs. Apparently your house is just much nicer! Hope the snow helps put an end to their illicit entry!
