Mice

138/365
May 20, 2010

Mice have been a part of life since moving to the city. Some apartments were relatively rodent free (no place is truly free of them here) with them just using our place as a connector from the basement to the gross apartments above us and other times we've had them partying it up. In our rent-stabilized place they really moved in. Despite no evidence of them eating in our place, based on my extensive search and the exterminators, they seemed to be ever-present. Shep is an excellent mouser, but I wanted a way to really get rid of them and the mouse zapper, as I call it, is the best solution (barring being able to fill ALL holes).

In this picture Shep is proudly playing with the mouse (only one seen so far here, in two years) he caught. Below is a shot of the wonderful mouse-zapper.
