Day 3 of the epic mouse hunt. (turned spring cleaning...)
Again I didn't catch a mouse last night.
But the container was delivered.
It's a 9m3 container. Much bigger than I thought it would be!
We started in the garage in the morning and I quickly found an unknown suitcase.
When I opened it...it was full of baby clothes...
I tried to close that shit ASAP but it was too late.
Bianca saw it...
O man...I could hear ovaries ring like church bells.
For me old junk (the baby clothes, not the ovaries).
For her...Vintage baby clothes.
O, Lord...
I suggested we bin the whole lot straight away and make some room.
But no way.
This was staying.
I was instantly done with the garage.
Too dangerous.
I brought Bianca to her work soon after and decided to work in another room that day.
I must have thrown 20 boxes full of papers and other crap out.
I couldn't believe it.
The container is already filled up 1/4.
On a more positive note, I did find three dead mice.
But they didn't look very fresh.
They looked like carcasses from the 90's. Only the skin was left.
Ooo...The good old 90's.
A time when mice still ate poison and walked into mouse traps like they should.
Before they evolved into highly gifted mice that deceive me at any chance they get.
I contemplated spiking there grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand parents carcasses on little spikes and place them around the house as a warning.
But I decided against it, Bianca wouldn't like it.
I did find something cool though.
Uneaten and intact.
Pretty cool.
The undangerous right type of vintage!

You certainly need to watch the 'Rats' documentary! It's on Netflix, if you have a subscription.
The numbers are quite shocking though... be prepared! :)

Oh man! That explains a lot! Only just got a rat infestation here under control. I'm screwed if they develop resistance to poison, because they were way too clever for the traps.

Hahahahaha this got me really laughing hard and rolling in the floor that my roomie had to ask what was wrong. Damn you are a clown.
These rats have really evolved. A few days ago ,I watched a video on Facebook where a rat was having his Bath and scrubibg thslis body like a real human being. I was short of words.
Do you really think spiking up the carcass and placing around the house will scare them? High intelligence rats? How possible...they will just walk past them and head to take the food out of the traps you set ...lolzzz. I am so loving this experience of yours

The information age has allowed enlightenment to all! LOL
Remember the one winter the mice came into our house. It was horrible. I used so many different types of traps all at the same time. Seemed like the best approach to make sure if any knew to avoid the glue traps the old fashion snap traps would get them. Had the tented kind of glue traps and the open faced ones, baited with peanut butter and even a few with good old cheese.
In the end the snap traps did the best with peanut butter on them. Plus you didn't have to pick up a live mouse with those.
At least it's motivating your "spring cleaning". Kind of sounds like you need it as much as we have. We tossed an old kitchen table, a bed, and bags upon bags of trash yesterday. Been doing my own Spring Cleaning to get myself better organized. Pulled together enough trash today to refill our bin which just got emptied. Loving the feeling as things get organized.

Yeah, we sure needed it. It feels pretty good. Like the house is 'lighter'. Lots to do still. I'm glad I rented the container. I could fill our bin in 5 minutes.

Actually just posted about my decluttering mission. Was interesting that I found out that clutter causes stress and reduces productivity.

I considered a bin, but luckily our trash pickup allows for nearly unlimited amount of trash at the curb. Plus was able to break it up over 2 pickups.
Funny you say the house is "lighter", I used that exact phrase. Told my Wife I felt like the house was going on a diet, she replied it was more like liposuction.

Oh, yes, my friend, of course it's a pity that your efforts to hunt mice did not succeed, but three dead mice are better than nothing :) But you and Bianka cleaned up and as I understood it, it brought you to memories! I think this is a small nice bonus for today! Thank you Mark.

Great post. Made me laugh outloud @exyle. Especially the bit about the great . . . grandparesnt on spikes. 😂
I hope you chucked out that old manual after photographing it!
The baby clothes sound very cute. Glad Bianca made you keep them. You've had plenty of practice after all with Toddler Sam.
I'm surprised you're finding so much junk. Your house always looks so tidy. Although the view through that open door from the garage tells another story! 😁
I love how Bianca goes to work and you're left home spring cleaning. Yay. Bianca!!!
Oh yes, and good job. Well done. @exyle! 😂

At the end you will thank this litle mickey mouse for making you clean up your whole house. But don’t worry I’m sure you will eventually catch her once you finish all this cleaning or she decides to move out once she says “ok I’m done here” and moves to another house.lol

Mice are destructive. Take away their easy spots to nest and they will search out new homes. I opened the silverware drawer one morning to find a mother mouse had chewed up the plastic divider to nest with the forks.
You may still need to move. Forgive me for laughing.

Really funny post tonight especially the part of the baby clothes suitcase. It is a good thing to spring clean and remove all clutter. It reduces the hiding places of the mice . Keep putting the poisoned food and mice traps- that clever mouse/mice will get hungry and greedy at some point :)

Lol! If you're not ready, you're not ready my friend. This is something that will resonate with you when the time is right. It's both common and sad, that life isn't so cut and dry; with couples wanting the same things at the same time.
Lol...Bianca saw it as a sign. You saw it as a curse. Hopefully, you guys had this conversation before taking vows. I'm sure Divine Orchestration will step in at the perfect time. Let's face it. The only 100% birth control is abstinence. ;+)...
I still recommend getting the plug-in sensors to rid your cares of pesky rodents.

I had once found 7 dead mice in the shoe boxes. One box even had shoe. It was in terrible condition. I had to through out all the mice.
Recently Around 8-10 mouse invaded my house through ventilator. The came from drainage pipes. That night i put some bait and poison. They did not come again after that but they had filled mud in the drainage pipe. I had to get those pipes cleaned. It cost me about 20$ to get that work done.

Cool find dude, maybe check out if there are any collectors looking to buy it. I can't wrap my head around how the mice don't eat the poison, but I think once the house is completely clean and free of food in hidden places, they will have no choice but to munch on some poison. Good work!

it is incredible what people can get to accumulate without realizing it, a container is a lot of things to throw away, as long as baby clothes are always nice to see them.

Damn I hate rats and mice. We had them here a couple of years ago and I literally woke up to one walking over my foot on by bed. Sort of felt sore for the little bugger though because when I realised what it was I instinctively kicked my foot and it went flying into the wall of my bedroom. Since then they give me the creeps.
