I live in a very suburban neighborhood. Seriously, our lot was a field. So a builder just started building new homes again across the street (it really does not make sense as we have so many foreclosures in Colorado and the builders think that we do not have enough homes in Parker already, really?). When they unearth the dirt, the mice start to relocate. We get them in the garage, backyard and occasionally our cat brings one in the house, drops it and leaves. I planted mint around the perimeter of the home so mice are suppose to stay away because they do not like mint. So they are not in the basement.
So the other day, Lexi went to the garage and was looking for her shoes. She left the minivan door open and came in for the night. The door stayed open for the night. Now, I am well aware our minivan has seen the wrath of the kids (from Sydney not liking her salad so she stuffed it in the back seat compartment to Anderson coloring the back seats with a Sharpie). So this minivan will probably be laid to rest after the Starks usage.
So after church, I was gathering the extra snow gear and noticed what looked like mice poop. Seriously, I thought, it can't be mice poop. How could it have gotten in the car? Logistically, how? And who has a mouse in their car? So I went that day, removed everything, vacuumed it and thought, I scared it off. Where ever it is? Maybe it came in, pooped and left? Well within a day, someone ate my 'to do' list. So that little bugger is living in the minivan. So what do I do? Put Decon in the back? How do you find a mouse int he car? I have worn covered shoes since I found the first poop as I do not want this little creature to touch me if he decides to come up and visit me while driving. I am a true screamer when it comes to mice. I do not mind spiders or bugs, but I do mind mice. They freak me out.
Now what? Do I serve Decon at the rolling mouse hotel and hope he comes down for dinner? Seriously, who has a mouse in their car? But me.
