Yes, I know he's cute. I will be the first to admit that. In fact we have pet hamsters that look very similar to this cute little mouse. Problem is, he's dirty and carries diseases. We pick up, pet and even kiss our pet hamsters. But there's no way I want one of these dirty mice anywhere in my house!
Unfortunately, we seem to get a few mice coming into our basement every single fall, just when the weather is starting to turn from warm to cold, especially the cold nights.
We still haven't been able to find exactly where they are getting in, so we wonder about that, but it doesn't matter. All that matters is that they are getting in.
The mice always seem to find their way into my daughter's basement bedroom. She is not too impressed. Sometimes they go into the pantry, but because I basically have all my food snapped tight in rubbermaid bins now, there's not too much they can get into.
So, we have caught 3 so far and we think there's still 1 left. We need to catch it soon. Ewwwww! They are cute but so dirty. Maybe that's where the phrase "dirty vermin" came from.
