I keep finding dead mice in random spots.
The first one showed up in the bathroom. I was alerted to it’s presence by a yelling Nathan, who had me pick it up and throw it in the fire. [In his defence, he was just about to step into the shower and everyone knows you can’t deal with mice when you are naked]
The second one was in the middle of the study. Just laying there. I almost trod on it, which would have been unpleasant, because we all know what poison does to their insides. I can just imagine the squidge sound it would have made.
SQUIDGE.
I mean, I knew it was going to happen when we poisoned them. Theoretically I knew.
I don’t think I was prepared for the dead mice to start appearing all over the house though.
It feels like it is only a matter of time before I go to put on a pair of socks, only to find dead mice inside them. Or pull out a pot from the cupboard to find a tiny little funeral taking place.
I don’t know what’s worse. To have them scurrying about, breeding and carrying disease, or dying in nooks and crannys where I may or may not find them.
Fun times.

Yey, they’re dying, that’s the important thing, well at least as long as Amy knows not to touch the little bastards 😉 But they will keep turning up in strange places for a good few days yet, yuck!
We had a few die in our walls one year. My daughter’s closet reeked so bad we had to take everything out until the smell finally dissipated.
Gross.

I’d rather find their remains than live with their filth.

My neighbors all have mice in their houses and so far, I’ve been able to keep them at bay (not sure how, but I don’t have any mice yet). It’s a good thing, because if I find a mouse in here I’m going to have to move. Just saying.

Well… any dead mouse is a good mouse.
Though it would be wise to go looking for the carcasses. We had a dead something in the attic which Garett couldn’t find, and there were flies in the house… unbelievable numbers of flies.
Flies are fun to schwack, too.

It’s the thought of not finding them that would creep me out the most :S

Squidge? It may not be a word but it should be.
Finding them dead is gross but NOT finding them is worse. They smell a little ripe after a few days postmortem.
Ick. Why can’t they have the decency to go outside and die?
Ew ew ew!! Cannot think of anything worse. As long as they all appear before they smell too much, or worse, when Isaac starts getting mobile and finds one!

Yeeaah, the building where I work had a rat or two that we would hear scurrying in the ceiling overhead, but recently noticed it stopped. A short time later, I come into work and immediately smelled dead rat, though it took my coworkers a couple days to notice it as well. No one wants to go up there to actually find it and dispose of it, so I imagine we’ll all just tough it out until the soft matter is gone…
Well, if you don’t find ’em, you’ll sure smell ’em.

I hope you don’t step on any dead mice. I have to stay, though, I’m glad they’re dying.

Die, die, die.
LOL I always wanted to leave a comment like that somewhere! I’m hoping they don’t die INSIDE your walls and smell. Have heard of that happening. And BIG PRAYERS Amy does not find/try to eat these mice.
Big prayers.

I’m with witchypoo. I’d rather find dead ones that I can just dispose of. Hopefully you find them before they start smelling bad. I’ve got cockroaches here. Well, one at least. I went into the bathroom in the middle of the night and there was a huge shiny brown cockroach in the middle of the floor. I don’t know which of us was more surprised. We stared at each other for at last a minute before he scuttled around looking for a hiding place. I came home from work today with two boxes of cockroach baits.
Oh God! Your sense of humour is certainly being tried! LOL! If I had to find one in a shoe, I would DIE … just check everything! Oh and tell Nathan mice don’t mind naked … I think you’re too kind!!
Janet Bs last blog post..We’re back, safe and sound!
We’re having a “mice problem” as well. I hate killing them, but they are now keeping us up at night… leaving me no choice 🙁
eek to mice..
i would hate to have them dropping dead in weird places..
atleast ya getting rid of em..
I would like to say I stopped reading at the point where you almost squidged the dead mouse…
But good for the coats and for your mouse pie buisness
Suzies last blog post..The Shoe Shop of Doom!
I would go insane with them dying all over the place because my luck is I wouldn’t find them until they were all decomposed. Which means I would have to smell the decomposition and go insane about where it was coming from for months…
I would rather have them running around for schwacking anyway. I am mean like that.
blech!
that’s not fun at all

Squidge is most definitely a word. I am shuddering at your mice – sorry that’s not very supportive but bleh to mice.

I was just reaching for another handful of peanuts when I came upon SQUIDGE. My appetite is gone, thankyouverymuch.
I just found a dead mouse in my yard yesterday, having not poisoned any lately. BUT we did spend last week trapping the heck out of Mickey and Minnie.
