Okay, What Gives You The Heebie Jeebies???

When our neighborhood was really being developed, we got quite a few mice in the house. They were being run out of their habitat and looking for shelter. For some reason, they thought our pantry was just the ticket. One night, I got up and headed to the fridge for a drink and heard this russling in the pantry. Opened the door and this little sucker drops down from a shelf and scampers by me before I can get my wits about me. It's like 2:00 a.m.

A couple of nights later, same scenario but this time, I'm paying attention. I know he's on one of the shelves so I quickly open the door and block the doorway with a couple of boxes. I knew he'd find his way out so I grabbed a broom, quickest thing I could get my hands on. He squeezes out and runs across the floor and I pinned him down with the bristles. Keeping pressure on him, I worked my way up the broom handle and he pokes his head out between the bristles. I said, "Say hello to my little friend" and hammer fisted that bitch til his eye popped out.

Had one on the back porch one day and he went running by me. I stomped on him and couldn't have hit him any more perfectly. Did you know those things pop and the entire innards will shoot a good 10-12 feet and splatter on a wall?

No, but I found out that if a mouse trap closes in just the right spot Jerry's head will be cut in half at the jaw hinge.

Sit on your porch like this as they slither by.

Swap that beer with a glass of bourbon and I will do exactly that.

Same thing happened to me after I built my house 4 years ago. Come Summertime, the mice were going nuts. A few of em got in. Hard as hell to catch too. They are so small, they can eak into the tiniest of places. Now, every spring/summer, I put out traps in the garage (which is where they were getting in) and a few near the kitchen at the back of the pantry. I catch 5-6 every year at least. Haven't had an issue with them inside since I started doing that.

Had a cool experience with that as a kid. We had a brick pile up next to our house and this squirrel sized wharf rat was living in it. I went to the hardware store and bought the real deal rat trap...one you're scared to set. I put it on the brick pile, which just happened to be under a big window. Went inside and got something to eat and drink then pulled up a chair, hoping I'd get a show. I did.

Watched that bastard sniff and inch his way up to it until SNAP....not only did it kill him, it cut him in half and the bottom half flew up and hit the window. Scared me and I screamed like a bitch.
