I would not, could not with a mouse.

[fancytalk]

I knew this would be a problem when I started ripping out the juniper.
I've got mice.
This is not good. I don't like mice. All mice, rats and other plague carrying rodents can just be eliminated from the earth. I like most creatures great and small, mice aren't on that list.

At least the mice aren't in the house, I took some preventative measures with keeping them out of the house.
However what I didn't count on was the fact that they would take up residence in the garage.
Although, I believe part of that problem is the apartment complex that leans their garbage up against my garage. Which means all the little mousies get to have a field day.

So when I noticed the prescence of mice a few of weeks ago, I went to the hardware store and purchased a couple of humane "rodents will avoid areas with these painful sonic wave" thingies. At first I didn't want to kill them, really. I didn't want to set and clean out traps either. I just wanted them to leave and go find another home. So the sonic wave thingies worked on the front part of the garage but not the back part.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when one of them peeked his head out over the wall to see what I was doing. That was it, no more humane treatment of animals. I bought some rat poison and put those suckers in the garage.

I finally got my first dead one today.
Victory Dance!
And RTL is the one who found it and freaked out. (evil hee hee)

I will prevail!!!!

I had good intentions at the beginning.
Then they went out the door when I realized mice aren't so much fun when they aren't your own.
