Ah the joys of being away from (yes I said away from) the van for a few nights. A bit of extra room in a motel, a night at home and then back to the mobile shack.
So I being a meticulous yob, well maybe yob, the jury's still out on that. Anyways I digress, being a meticulous yob, I notice some red powder on the bench. And yes I'm sure it wasn’t white.
So I thinks to myself, did I have chilli or cayenne pepper or any other powdetry substances out when I cooked last. Nope I don't believe so. Next step open the cupboard above and there it was the evidence of a mexican mouse having moved in!
There was s¥$t everywhere as well as a hole in my mexican taco mix. Taco mix everywhere as well. So I think to myself .....bugger....I look further, my nuts had been chewed as well and the stock cubes too. So I'm obviously looking for a mexican mouse with a preference for either beef or chicken.
Now as some you know I work away and live in the van when I'm away. Never in my 8 years of doing so have I had mice, let alone one that prefers mexican food.
So my first though is where's the shotgun. Oh yeh right I don't own one. Time to start thinking how to track the buggers down and slaughter them mercilessly.
So in the process of tracking them down I realise that they shouldn't be able to get in the start with. After all they can't climb vertical steel, can they? Next thought, what about up the drain pipe? Again vertical smooth plastic. Shouldn't be able to. Maybe up the annex wall, not sure,I surrender on the mode of entry. Ah forget tracking them down.
The real reason for this post is to see if anyone has suggestions on how to make sure I get buggers out so I can slaughter them. I don't want a dead rotting mouse in the van!
