    This guy was up there the entire car ride, enjoying this gorgeous fall day. I did however, make sure he clearly understood that this was a only one-way ride.

    He probably had his own camera and posted "Look what moved my house and then kicked me out" on one of his mouse-forums.

    Remember they love chewing on wires. These cars have enough electrical trouble to begin with.

    Funny Paul! I did set up some mouse traps last night to make sure his cousins couldn't hitch the same ride.

    Jay I catched one of his northern cousin tonight. He came out of under my toolbox in the garage while I was working on the helicopter and headed to pile of metal crap. I installed his free meal and a few hours later he was history. I left more free meal in case he's a family guy. But I don't have a picture, he didn't look as good as yours ;)

    This one was named Rotary Gonzales.

    Since that experience, I've caught 5 of his relatives in my garage! I'm blown away by how many of these guys have moved inside for the winter! Fellas, time for you to check your garages too. I find old fashion mouse traps and peanut butter to be incredibly effective against unwanted squatters.

    I recently found evidence a little guy was moving in, so I sent in the heavy mob.....

    He stayed there undeterred for the whole time? How about that.

    Dave, he or she looks too comfortable to move :D

    :) My sons commented exactly the same - she's renowned for being a rather fat and lazy cat!
    But apparently mice decide to move on elsewhere at the mere smell of a cat. So a few hours spent lazing in a sun-warmed Mondial worked!
    And kudos to the Mondial seats. She's very picky where she sleeps, so they must be comfortable because this was definitely not a forced exercise by a cruel owner (per Hollywood disclaimers, "No animals were harmed in the making of this picture" :) )

    Well it can be a big problem. I found evidence on the front passenger floor mat and set a trap. Proceeded to remove 9! of these buggers from the Italian Rivera over a span of about 10 days. I put out the bait in the garage to move them elsewhere.....

    It's not really something I've ever had trouble with. My last house I did onetime see one in the garden from time to time but it never ventured near the house.

    Where I live now there are open fields next door 'but one'. My garage is quite tightly sealed with a thick rubber weather strip along the bottom.

    That is exactly the technique I used and got another one.

    I cannot believe I've caught 10! Two more last night! I would have never guessed as I never saw droppings or mice. This is getting totally ridiculous!

    I have one of those (tuxedo cats). EXTREMELY lethal and efficient.
