get woken up by a soft banging sound. At first, I thought the dog was getting into the garbage or something and was getting ready to get up to chew him out. Then I realized that it was inside my room and that the door was shut with the dog outside of it. I was thinking "Great another mouse!" We've had a huge mouse problem this fall. We've put out sticky traps and already caught 8 mice in about 2 weeks. Well, this mouse was banging around and I realized that it was caught in a trap that was right under my nightstand. EEEEKKKK!! I absolutely HATE mice. Just looking at them and thinking about them makes me queasy. But I still feel sorry for them when they are caught in traps(figure that one out,lol). Then this mouse starts squeeking....and squeeking....and squeeking. Jorge was very tired and I couldn't get him to wake up to take the mouse out. He is such a sound sleeper. Finally it slowed down and then stopped so I started dosing off again. Then it started squeeking louder!! I put my pillow over my head and was laying there feeling miserable and totally sorry for the mouse. Finally, my dh got up and put it into the garbage and took the garbage out to the garage. I don't know how he can even touch those traps or go anywhere near them. Needless to say, I was wide awake and never did get back to sleep.

ICKY! I'm so sorry you're dealing with mice - I HATE them! We had them at our last house (it's a rural thing) and the only thing that I could handle was putting out DCON everywhere - totally got rid of them! ICKY!!

I'd love to put decon out but the dog is into everything. My girls would go ballistic if he got into poison and died. At least my dh doesn't mind emptying the traps. If it wasn't for him, we'd probably be overrun with mice,lol.

Ewww! We had mice at our old house and I hated it. I don't think I could handle having one in the bedroom with me.
