OMG, I hate them too! We had these neighbors once that were renting the house across the street. I had always heard their house was awful inside. When they moved out the owners of the house came to clean it out. I don't remember exactly what it was they did but I do remember them telling me that they watched the mice run (several of them) in my direction!
So low and behold, I start seeing them running across my living room floor. Of course, you only see one at a time so you only THINK you have one. I am the biggest wimp too. I stand on chairs, scream, pull my feet up, you name it! We caught several of those darn things with both glue and snap traps. Then we leave for Disney. When we got back I was sitting on the floor in the kitchen opening up our suitcase that had the food in it. I reach around the fridge to throw something away and I saw that one glue trap had THREE mice on it.
I ran out of the room! That wasn't the worst though, I have to say that the worst was when I very clearly had a glue trap that just disappeared. Seriously, we never, ever found it and looked high and low for it. I swore we had a super mouse on our hands. My friends used to kid around and tell me they were going to bring over little motorcycles so Stuart and his friends could go for a ride. THANK YOU NEIGHBORS! It was their little going away present to all of us I guess! Haven't had them since though. At least not that I know of!
Am I the only one that thinks mice are kinda cute?
