My studio has mice. Sort of odd since I don't eat or drink anything in there (could spill on the art). But they seem to have dragged a candy bar wrapper (probably from the library or laundry room) behind the bookshelf. I found Lillian hurling herself against my bookshelf with her tail going madly, I grabbed my flashlight and found an eaten wrapper and lots of spiders. She's a good dog. More D-Con from Home Depot.

Made some headway on bathroom planning. I'll probably spend an hour or so making art, designing a new business card, rotating photos from the shoot and make my way to the pot luck tonight.

Instead of poison, may I suggest this type of trap?

Easy to set, easy to get get rid of the mice (I wear disposable poly gloves just because dead mice are icky).

There are two problems with poisoning rodents. First, the mouse may die where raptors, predators or pets may find them. And second, they may crawl someplace you can't get to and stink for many a month.

We tried the humane traps first and caught one mouse in a month, then we tried the victor traps with no success, the D-Con, though not the best option, seems to be the only effective one.

also, that could contribute to the decreased number of cats I see in my garden. Fantastic.

More cats did not mean fewer mice, we had mice when there were 10 cats living in the yard. Cats were horrible, aways making horrible rutting noises and having more kittens and fights.
