OMG!

I know I have posted a lot lately about my very strong hatred towards mice, well today my posting is icing on the cake. Over the weekend, we decided to put the Christmas tree away finally and pick up the storage room that is a complete disaster. Since, the baby is due in 8 weeks we decided to get out all of the baby items that we stowed away since Josie was to big for them and clean them up for the new arrival. In our efforts to get prepared, we ran into some not so happy things.

1. At some point, mice had gotten into a box underneath the steps where all of the baby items are. They had then gotten into a zip lock bag that had about 25 infant baby spoons inside and had a field day. By a field day, I mean this:





They had eaten the rubber coating off of the infant spoons down to the metal centers. The pictures may be hard to see put they are completely eaten. OMG! The spoons were clean, but must of still had a food scent to them or something. So, now once our little one starts eating foods to the store to buy new infant spoons I will go. Since, I no longer have ANY! Can you believe that?!

2. Not only did they eat the spoons, oh no that would be just lucky for us. They ate the plastic lining of the highchair also. That is right the highchair also. The high chair had been thoroughly cleaned before stowing it away under the steps also, but again must of still had a scent to it, because they got that also. My $100 high chair ransacked by little rodents I can not stand.

Now, I have to see if I can either buy a new liner for the high chair or buy a completely new high chair or one of those space saver chairs. This really makes me mad. If you know of anyone that has a chair that their little one has outgrown and is trying to get rid of it, I may be interested so keep me in mind. I will not need one obviously for around 6+ months, but it is better to be prepared. Perhaps I can fix the lining I have, but who knows. I mean that would just be gross.

So, I asked Brent what are we going to do now. We placed these items in the house to keep them from being mice food, but somehow these darn things are finding their way into the house and we can not find out where. Lets just say we better find the source and fast because it is really ticking me off. Brent is going to call the bug guy tomorrow, so hopefully we can get some help getting rid of all of these varmints. I mean this is like 7 now and I walk around the house on egg shells all of the time.

If any of you have some solutions on how to get rid of my pest problem, I am open to all suggestions. My suggestion for Brent was to move, but he did not go for that one.
