I have a mouse in the house. I know this because I saw it this morning. I am being incredibly optimistic and insisting there is only one. The traps are down and I am now just hoping for the best.I often wonder which is the most annoying vermin to have in the house: mice, ants or cockroaches. Today I am definitely voting for the mouse (still using singular).

I have to say these guys make a mess and hope you are right that it is just one. I make gourd art and once I left some cut gourds on a shelf for a while until I had time to clean out the seeds. The day I became certain I had a problem, I found gourd seeds piled high in one of my shoes in the laundry room!
Gives me cold-chills just thinking about them!
Knocking on wood here... we've been fortunate that we've only ever had them in our garage and not the rest of the house.
I missed out on the joy of them moving inside last year - had one the year before that. Sigh ... I always consider just walking out of the house and moving every time I think of them :-/
In Texas we had roof rats that got in our attic. You could hear them pouncing around up there. (They were much bigger than mice) We used a little box trap and my husband would take them out to the country and let them go in a field. (to go bother someone else). Nasty little buggers.
So laughing, Id be happy with one..lol... yep the 'rat sack' is out, Chels food is attracting them, so I need a steele bin...Im told Palm trees are a no no as they use them to get into the house...I actually think they are cute and if they leave me alone im cool....
Oh no! Hope this problem has gone away! I dislike cockroaches the most - the tiny ones like those in Coffs!
Well I saw him again yesterday - peeking out his head and checking if the coast is clear. I have upped the ante and changed the bait in the traps from cheese to peanut butter. Here's hoping the little door will be closed when I got home and there will be a hygenic disposal. If not it will be time to get some pellets as well :-/
