Every Few monthes my apartment becomes overrun with mice. Its fucking disgusting. I put out traps, poison, borrow cats, everything I can think of. I manage to get rid of them for a month or two, but they always come back. They kept me up last night. I could here them scratching around, even squeeking at times. It drives me insane!
I remembered a suggestion my friend Cody Fennell once gave me. I had to search through my old myspace account to find it.

Im so tired!
I had the worst sleep ever.
My apartment building is a heritage building, so naturally, we have a bit of a mouse problem. It started a few months after I moved in. My pal Amy was complaining about mice on the first floor, but being on the top floor, we had no sign of them. It took almost a year for those little babes to make there way up all those stairs.
So a little over a month ago I started seeing mice. Every once in a while a little guy would scoot across the floor. Im not afraid of mice, I was actually kind of stoked. One night my friend connor came knocking on my door, close to tears.
"there is a huge rat in my apartment!! get it!!"
I was thrilled. I have never seen a rat in a house before.
So I have a box and im sitting quietly next to the closet waiting for this rat to appear so I can catch it and free it. all the sudden, This tiny baby mouse runs out! it was soooo cute! it had huge ears and a long tail. It was like the size of a cheezie. I named it kelly, Called connor a pussy, and called it a night.
a few days later we had pest control come in. They gave me a bunch of traps and sticky tape, told me to set it up in all corners. At this point I have only seen a the odd mouse, I don't like the idea of Paralizing poor baby kelly in a snap trap, so I leave the traps in a bag under the sink.
My mistake...
To Rodent community got word that my apartment was a safe zone, and moved in. I have seen quadruple the amount of mice in my house. Other them the sound of them running around, They did'nt really bother me....
until last night.
Im sitting in my living room, writing a letter, and i can hear squeaking and scratching in my kitchen. It was getting really loud, so i got up to check it out. two huge mice dart out from under my sink and scare the shit out of me.
Then I decide to go to bed..
I pull back my sheets and what do I find?
MOUSE SHIT!
mouse shit in my sheets! In my bed! where I sleep at night!!
I feel so violated. I try to do a nice thing by not murdering them, and what do I get? a bed full a shit. Some little prick defecates in my sheets.
Well you know what this means? this means war.
After changing my sheets, I pulled out the rat poison. I made a circle of green pellets all around my bed, and left little piles in all corners.
I went to bed. I laid In the dark, eyes wide open, for most of the night listening to those fuckers scurry around my room.
I woke up this morning to find all the little pellets gone. Every one of them.
Mwahh haa haaaaaa......

haha
I like that the mouse was the same size as a cheezie.. but mice are no laughing matter.. you got a war on your hands.. you need all the help you can get..
thus I have prepared for you the ultimate mouse catching device.. My grampa invented it because hes retired, bored and inventive.. ha.. it works so well tho...
heres the instructions..
ya take a pretty big bucket and made a ramp from the floor to the top of the bucket with little dabs of peanut butter all the way up the ramp.. who knew mice like peanut butter??? they loves it! so then at the top of the bucket you put a wire across the top of the bucket that holds a pop can with peanut butter all over the popcan..
see diagram:
so the Idea is.. the mouse gos up the ramp, sees the sweet sweet peanut butter on the pop can.. then lundges toward the can, then the can rolls and then fall in to the bottom of the bucket! it works dude!! youll have a bucket full of mice!
