A MOUSE!

I have a ****ing MOUSE in one of my cupboards! EW EW EW EW! I HATE mice. In fact, I despise all rodents. ALL of them. It's those little freakin' teeny claws.. that pointy face...those beady eyes ::shiver:: Auugghh - they freak me out!
I pulled everything out of the cupboard and stuffed as much as I could in the dishwasher and cranked it on the hottest cycle. I washed the rest of the pans in really hot soapy water. My hands are killing me - I had that water SO freakin' hot. I will be bleaching the cabinet next. GAH!!! I have the heebie jeebies now!!

GAH! You and me BOTH! We have a mouse in our pantry. I had to take all the food out and throw most of it away! Grr. I even found an unopened box of Ritz with a hole chewed in the bottom and one roll almost totally hollowed out! We haven't caught our mouse yet, but I assure you, it's got to be one fat little thing... YUCK!

Poor Kate!! I saw a mouse in a friends house one time and almost fainted dead! You never realize until you see one just the impact they can have on you!! YUCKY!!! Hope you can get rid of the little sucker soon!

You're so funny. I guess the guy you evicted from the living room wall found a new place to live.

I like to think that mice have a good sense of smell, and would never dare to enter this house, due to strong "essence of kitty". We have eight cats, and the landladies upstairs have one.

Even if a mouse got in, it would not live long. We hardly even have any FLIES, because the kitties like to hunt, catch and eat them!

Wanna borrow a few kitties?

Hope you can get rid of it, soon! I once lived in an apartment where there was a mouse, and I know how gross it can be...it ate into my cereal boxes and stuff, too...yeccch! But I wasn't allowed to have cats in that place. :-(

We rented a house once that had mice. They would come into my kitchen drawers. I remember putting my silverware in the dishwasher numerous times a day, because mice crap whereever they walk. I told the landlady, and she's like "oh, you live in the country, get used to it!". She wasn't going to do anything! Mice freak me out. I don't mind spiders but I have a phobia about mice!

I try to be a strong masculine kind of guy. However, once we had a little mouse problem, so I put out d-con. The mouse got the poison and died during the night...in my closet...in one of my dress shoes. Needless to say the next morning I got quite a shock when I slipped my foot into the shoe. Freaked me out for months.

EWWWWWW! I'm so sorry. I haven't had that traumatic experience yet, but I'd be doing the same thing. Hang in there.

For me, it's snakes and bugs and non-furry things. I like mice... I don't really like them in the house, but they're better than snakes or spiders or ants or beetles or moths any day. I take that back, I don't like some furry things, like rats. Rats are yucky too.

We have a beetle larvae infestation right now... these little wormy things all over the house. Gross. What's REALLY gross is the puppy is convinced they're bite-sized snacks!

It's the construction. Brings out all the interesting critters.

Good luck!

I have a serious fear of mice. It is so out of control! I am even losing sleep over it! I have my own personal Terminex man that comes as often as necessary! I completely understand anyone who has a fear of them. I live in the country and can not get away from them!!
