They're cute as pets or in cartoons. They are not cute as uninvited houseguests (although I think many folks feel that way about *any* uninvited houseguest, whether of the 2, 4, 6, 8, or "too freaked out to count" -legged variety).
The hubby said that some relatives of ours have also been fighting the "get OUT!" battle against field mice. We *thought* we were done, but had a sighting last night - trap got it overnight, though, so it is now out, and our total is tied with theirs.
Note: This is not a competition, and I do not want to "win" with the most evicted (dead or alive) mice (it'd be like winning the ugliest couch/rec room/kitchen type of contest. Heck, even then, at least you get a prize of some kind). However, it is somewhat reassuring to find out that someone else is having the same issues. With all the construction going on around here, I'm not too surprised that there's more activity. Been here for over four years now, and we've only had them once before - and NOT like this!
I *think* we may be done now, as we weren't really seeing any signs of activity prior. Traps are staying out until we're sure (well, some of them will stay out period).
Off to do laundry...

I grew up on a farm, and we had field mice constantly. Unfortunately, I am mortally afraid of mice of any size (even the cute white ones they use in labs). As far as I know, my parents have never been able to completely get rid of them.
That's not encouraging. :P
Though if your folks are still on a farm, I can certainly understand where they might not be able to do so.
We'll just be leaving traps and poison out - we won't have as many out as when we know there are some, but we'll keep some out.
