I'm in the basement reading through the evening's post on Oppo, and I can hear the mice running around in the drop ceiling above my head. Fuck you, mice. I don't want you and your hantavirus in my house. /endofrant

Mice love coolant.

Thinks of nothing but killing humans with hantavirus all. day. long. Also, night.

Yeah, I suppose that could work. I'll have to get some new traps. I'd like to know where the fuckers are getting in so I can close it off - that'd be a step in the right direction.

We've got bats in our wall. Cooler than mice, but still an issue

I know about how you feel! Mosquito Hawks find their way into my house during the summer. Though I don't really mind them because they don't hurt you and they eat mosquitos and spiders! That being said they are noisy little fuckers!

Evil fuckers!

Traps? Nah, just put some in some lids from PB jars or something. Only a few drops needed to kill them, so a few licks and bam, no more mouse. Just don't let any kids or cats near them.

Ugly as sin, but at least they eat mosquitoes and other annoying insects!

That's the problem - we've got kids. Also, I don't want dead mice in my ceiling - I'd rather trap them so I know that I'm getting rid of the bodies.

One of these?

I'd move away. Fuckers are huge!

Yeah but they aren't bad, they don't really bother you.

Actually I think bats can be kinda cute/cool looking. Especially the brown bats, which are the standard breed around here.

If the snappy traps aren't your thing, I've used the glue traps before when I know where they are getting funneled into a trail. They work... a little grim, since it doesn't kill - you have to do that.

But it's worth getting rid of them, because they bring in the relatives for the good places to live - and once they come in, even if you force them out, they don't forget where the goodies are and they just come back. Gotta kill or locate them way far away.

I've got a ceiling resident mouse here at work. Also a drop ceiling-traversing scuttler.

Yeah, I've used them but I'm not a fan. Half the time the mouse is only stuck on two legs, and they spend the whole day dragging their sorry ass around your house making a mess until you get home and discover them.
