Mouse in the house

[icepixie]

GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH, there is a rodent of indeterminate size scrabbling around very noisily in my wall. This is NOT OKAY, little mousie, or whatever the hell you are. (It sounds like Godzilla.) We had a deal: I don't bother you outside, you don't come inside, fall into a pocket between wall studs, and panic (LOUDLY) as you slowly expire because you can't climb back out. (And then probably stink once you do finally die, though Google tells me the smell from just one isn't noticeable. I question this.)

Dear dog: Why have you not even NOTICED this? Although come to think of it, since you fell down on the job of keeping the damn thing out of the house in the first place, it's probably best that you haven't noticed it yet, or you'd be scrabbling at the wall as well.

Agenda for tomorrow: POISON. And lots of it.

Oh that sounds absolutely disgusting! Good luck. Eek.

It is pretty horrifying. Luckily, almost as soon as I posted this, it stopped making any noise at all, and hasn't in the twelve hours since. Perhaps it heard my threats of poison and decided to get out while the getting was good.

Yesterday a musicologist informed me that most species of bears don't like high-pitched sounds. Says she got one to back off once with a series of arpeggios. Maybe it works on mice too? :D

...If this is true, that's better than being Batman.

Think I'll stick to poison. ;) It was only making noise for about an hour last night, and I thought it had died, but apparently not, because it just came back. It's...a very punctual mouse?
