New Roommates

We have some roommates in our house that we didn't realize we had until we had moved all of our stuff in.

On Tuesday, we moved in, and our house, especially the kitchen had a horrible smell. We thought it would get better when we started wiping out cupboards, and it did for a bit, but we found mouse poop there. YUCKY! We thought, maybe it's just old, so we wiped down each cupboard before we loaded them full of stuff like dishes, paper towels, paper dishes, and snacks foods. . . .

Two rolls of paper towels have mouse poop on them today, so they're fresh. The Orkin man just came yesterday and said that these mice are a huge problem. We need to get treated for them right now. Rob and I talked about it, and we are going to rent mouse poison boxes for the back yard to catch the mice and kill them before they even come in. However, I have looked up some articles, and it is dangerous for me to breathe around the mouse poop let alone clean it up. I'm hoping that Orkin can get rid of our neighbors, so we can have a mouse free home very quickly. Mice DO NOT make good roommates.

Yuck. That is one of my worst fears.

Try peanut butter on the traps. That is what caught ours.
