Sad, but he just submerged it in a hole where the ditch used to be in our back yard. We never had mice until a few years ago when the last lot in our culdesac was built. Then it was bad. Fortunately we were able to get to the end of it and plug all the holes. Now when I clean my house I'm so glad I don't find the most vile evidence of any intruders. that is the worst to me. The EVIDENCE! ick. We have cleaned our house from top to bottom for this wedding and I mean deep clean and I found zero mouse leavings. That was so nice. I wish you the same thing. I know that the barriers are the way to go. Incredible that they are invading you despite your efforts!Nanette Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734358126338038553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951113590088914038.post-87330512334939461842009-10-05T05:32:40.211-06:002009-10-05T05:32:40.211-06:00Ooh raspberry jam sounds fabulous...but then, so d...Ooh raspberry jam sounds fabulous...but then, so does peach!!

I actually have wondered why you don't have stray cats running around on the hills behind you as my field behind my house seems to attract lots of stray cats. Maybe it's the heat that keeps them off of yours. Right now I have a momma deer and her two babies (born very late in the season) playing on my hillside. They're cute but they eat the garden like CRAZY. That's what we get for living on their property I guess!!Live Well With Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855069833675848977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951113590088914038.post-23670169341238071712009-10-04T13:00:53.329-06:002009-10-04T13:00:53.329-06:00WOW!

In the winter mice tend to come indoors to keep warm, well not in our home. If they do make it in, they are quickly caught by our 3 cats. In all the 12 + years we have lived here we haven't had many mice at all. But they have caught them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515452957964923679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951113590088914038.post-28309273089864950672009-10-04T06:34:03.250-06:002009-10-04T06:34:03.250-06:00Glad those critters are gone!!

After reading this post, I am no longer jealous. You have my sympathy on the critter issue. The fact that you haven't moved out is a testament to your courage. You might want to start buying your pest guy some Christmas presents and encourage this best friend thing some more. You are very brave. I am not. I shouldn't have read the entire post and looked at all those pictures. Eeeeuuuuuu. I should have heeded your kind warning to avert my gaze. If the critters get any bigger, get a gun.

I hated going outside in Texas because of the geckos on our house.
