Mice are Happy to Help

I have a great story for you!  We had a bunch of mice in our kitchen and our pantry.  It is in the middle of summer, hot as the dickens.  There are lots of birds, and squirrels outside, and they are eating our bird food which is far from the house.  And, we have a mouse problem. 

I believe the reason this happened was the food was at one time, in cereal boxes and such.  We converted all of our food to snap top lids, and contained everything.  Everything except the chocolate bar, I had bought for smores. 

We were going to have a camp fire, and roast some marshmallows, and make smores.  For some reason, I forgot to put the chocolates in the snap top lid containers.  I had been busy that day, and just did not follow through.  It was one of those things, during the course of running chores at the grocery, I ended up forgetting the chocolate.  Then, when I went back to the store to get the chocolate bars, I then forgot to get them safely stored away.

I put them in the kitchen on the counter, and turned out the lights, and went down stairs to watch some TV.  Sound familiar?  Such busy days are so glad to help you with any food you leave sitting there. They are happy to help out!

In the morning, all of my chocolate bars were ruined!  We had a shock and surprise, as the mice had peed and pooped everywhere.  They were hungry, and had eaten every since edge of the candy bars.  Wow.   I had to get some traps and some more chocolate bars.

This is how you learn about mice.  They do these little sneaky things to you, until you wise up and catch them.  Hide your food, and catch those buggers.  They need to find an evacuation plan soon.  Best wishes!
