Here's the thing: I have mice in my garage. Uninvited, munching, craping and piddling everywhere. I caught one in one of those humane mouse traps and donated it to my neighbour's garden because he likes nature and stuff. Anyway, I quickly realised that the mice were breeding faster than I was catching them so I went into Terminator mode and put down a tray of poison.
This is where it gets wierd: Within the hour, the humane traps were triggered (but empty) and the tray of poison was covered in garage debris - sawdust, bits of paper, a small plastic Spider Man (motionless so obviously beaten into submission), anything that was lying around was piled into the tray of poison hiding it from view.
Not to be deterred and bullied, I cleared away the debris and re-set the humane traps. Again, within the hour, the humane traps were triggered (but empty) and the tray of poison was piled high with garage debris - a lego instruction leaflet, a large plastic spider, sawdust, sweet wrappers, paper clips and so on - piled high so it couldn't be seen.
What the heck is all that about? I'm starting to feel cerebrally overshadowed by my garage mice. They're toying with me. They're plotting my downfall and working out how they can take over my house but keep me paying the mortgage.
