Jesus told us to love our enemies, but I don't think He was talking about mice. He also told us to turn the other cheek, but I'm sure He didn't want us to let mice invade our kitchen utensil drawers and have free reign on our plastic tongs and leave droppings in places where we cook and prepare our food and not do something to thwart their activities.
Well, the battle was on and I wasn't going to be satisfied with second place. By Monday night we had set up our defensive hedge and went on the offensive. With Trapper Max Glue Traps at strategic places on the roof, in areas we felt mice might enter or leave the RV, or had already left their poop-prints, d-Con bait pellets outside to deter reinforcements from attacking and the Ultrasonic Pestchaser Rodent Repeller plugged into 110V-AC outlet, we were only lacking nuclear weapons to complete the package. Tuesday morning I woke to the sight of a captured Mickey-wanna-be on a glue trap near the refrigerator. He was still wiggling but didn't put up a fight as I delivered him to the dumpster and a soon to be ride to the landfill. Sorry, Mickey. We didn't start it, but we are determined to finish it. Hopefully the defense we now have in place will keep us rodent-proof and allow us to return our utensils to their normal place. We do plan to increase our supply of plastic storage containers for food items and increase our use of steel wool at vulnerable ingress locations. We haven't declared total victory yet. I'm sure Mickey's family doesn't look too kindly on us and won't easily give up the fight, but it sure would be nice if they put up the white flag and just stayed away.
