Well folks…
Part of my "welcome to spring" was going out to the shed I had just finished before the first snowfall last summer. I opened the door and the place smelled like death, the floor was black and my lawn mower (and everything else) was covered in poop. Bird seed was strewn from one side to the other and potting soil was everywhere.
Field mice!
Had to get it cleaned up before they started to take residence in my house! Yesterday I lit up a cigar, cleaned the shed, and armed with a family pack of DECON bait and sticky traps, I set out to have war with the little guys. I am not trying to be mean but I love birds and these guys attracted 3 different cats to my back yard and one already caught one of the birds from the feeder instead of the mice. The bird and mice were after the seed.
Today was the first day the traps were put out. You can see in the shed pic where there is a small crack near the bottom left of the door I made to allow the door to open onto the wooden walkway I made which runs slightly uphill. That is where they got in as the rest of the building is air tight. I still have plenty of bait and 3 more traps.... Bring it on!
