You daughter is kinder than I am. At our cabin when we leave I line the floors with sticky traps and have Decon poison stations. It's no fun to come back and need to clean out all the drawers, cupboards, bedding and so on because mice have moved in and their dropping are everywhere. I keep all food either in refrigerator or in sealed plastic tubs and yet they survive just fine. They will even eat plastic and rubber and have no need for water. They can live in a vehicle and chew the wiring or plastic arm rests in a car, this has happened to us. You daughter is a kind person but I have no mercy these cute little animals I consider vermin. Mice and pack rats can carry disease.

We also show no mercy. Mice have found refuge in our attic at some point, urinating in the same spots, and the ceilings got stained, of course. Initially we thought it was water damage, but alas, no. So we have traps in the crawl space, and in the attic. And squirrels are equally destructive. They like - among other things - to get under car hoods and chew on wires. Had my AC system wiring gnawed on, and after our February 10-day trip they snacked on another wire that made my car suddenly loose power.... about a mile from home, of course.
