Our house was built in the 1970s, we bought it in 1998, and we added an addition with a basement in 2003.

We've always had a mouse problem.

UGH.

Every year they seem to sneak in through the garage, in through the stove.  We have tried to patch all their passageways over the years.  Some years, we were successful, and other years... not so much.

UGH.

I adapted our kitchen organization to remove any tempting treats:  only canned goods in the lower cabinet, no bread on the counter... NO food left on the counter.. EVER.

UGH.

My husband and I talk about what we need to fix next around the house.  His workshop and the garage are at the top of the list.  They are definitely stops on the mouse highway.

UGH.

Tonight I decided to start dealing with one corner of the workshop.

(Why?  My hubby went out of town this morning).  

I don't even want to talk about cleaning out this corner.  All I can say is ...

UGH.

I know we will eventually deal with all the passageways that help these tiny nuisances enter our home and stress us out.

Until then,

UGH.
