I just didn't realize how bad until this past weekend. traps and De-con just weren't seeming to keep up I did call the exterminator on Monday. got the bait stations today.

and we did have a very warm snap in the weather a couple weeks ago.

Some breed year round, so the warm spell would allow more to survive. Now they're weaned and hungry! Early 1900s there was a mouse plague in Australia. Old pics show huge mounds of mice poisoned. I actually think mice are cute, but not in my house and not a tidal wave of them. I had pet rats in my classroom. Very sweet critters. Teasel would come to her name like a dog. She lived a long 4 years, and I held her while she died. Can't help it. Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh was my very favorite book back in the dark ages.

I always thought it is Brisbey

Maybe they crawled in through your open bedroom window at night!

Do you know what kind of mice they are? Wonder if any of your neighbors are having problems. Any nearby houses or outbuildings torn down recently? I read that 6 mice can turn into 60 in 3 months.

I atucally raised and breed black and white gerbil's while in college. But they were kept in acquariums that had a leak and hardwear cloth tops weighted down.

Tippylou, has gotten mice, rats, snakes, a baby possum and a nest of bunnies.

Unfortunately, she brings them in the house alive to show me! One time I went to straighten the entryway rug and there was a wrinkle in it that I just couldn't get out so I lifted the rug up and there was a two foot snake hiding under it! Glad I didn't stomp on it to fix the wrinkle! That poor snake had part of it's tail eaten off! I guarantee it was the worst day of that snake's life! Can you imagine the stories he told when I took him back outside?
