Pick up the cat, close the door quietly and call a pest controller.

I was away for two months and walked into my flat to a mouse infestation. It was horrific. I had to toss out everything that had fabric. Couch, towels, sheets, clothing , shoes, mattresses etc. There wasn’t an inch that didn’t have feces or mouse piss. They nested in my couch, sneakers, and even my pillows. They were coming up through the heating baseboards in each room. After my landlord had the exterminator come in I had to wait a few days so the mice walked through and ate the poison. Those little fuckers were avoiding all traps laid down even with peanut butter on them. I then used over 400 feet of steel wool and pushed it underneath the baseboard heating around the entire apartment and used fire retardant spray foam to secure some obvious big gaps that existed between the floor and the wall. Some gaps I packed in as much steel wool as possible and stuck the foam dispenser tip right into the gap and let it rip. While doing this I did see the mice had walked through the poison powder and did eat the poison bait. I then spread baby powder down along all the baseboards to see if any have gotten through. So far it’s almost 36 hours and no sign; although, I did hear one last night scratching the foam. But I’m sure they’ll figure out a place I missed and know this will be ongoing. Now it’s wait and see. I can’t tell you how violated I feel. They did a complete gutting of the flat next to me to remodel so that’s why I think it happened. Ironically this flat is brand new remodel and upgrade.

You’re place is going to stink so bad once they start rotting in the walls.

Yeah well they have to die first. Still seeing some and they are avoiding the traps like crazy. I’m sure they ran through some of that powder and some died m, obviously can’t see them.

She shouldn't have been trying to carve it with the sharpened end of a toothbrush, clearly.

Completely unrelated but I had a fellow engineer who recently moved out of a big city into our little forest town and he was really excited one day describing a big animal he saw (it was a moose) so I told him I’m like it’s called a moose and he goes yeah but there we’re like 6 of them! 😈 oh were there now… WELL in that case man you saw a flock of meeses, not very common to see you’re lucky! Man was so impossibly pleased with himself. Like 3 hours later I had completely forgotten about it until I heard him in an adjacent office telling a different engineer about how he saw his first flock of meeses. The silence that followed and the mildly quiet “what…..” was hands down some of the funniest shit to this day when I think back on it. Meese will forever bring that story up in my head 🤣 thanks for the morning laugh!

Even seeing a single mouse is enough for me to invest in traps and contemplate pest control. But that...burn it!

I have a shit tone of mice to deal with the roach problem but now there’s 50 cats screaming in the alley at night so to sleep you huff some glue eat the cat food and chug a beer to make you sick so you can sleep what’s so hard to understand about that?

When he tapped that chair and all those mice ran out I actually dropped my phone in shock and disgust.
