You need a few hundred rat terriers.

3. My wife used a shop vac in the garage for mice.

She looked like a Jedi with a light saber she was moving so fast.

6. I have a buddy who used glue traps

Because he said they were more humane than the ones that killed them immediately...

So I asked him the same question... "uhm what do you do when they get stuck in the trap?"

"Well that's the problem," he says, "at first I was running them over with the car but then I started drowning them in a bucket of water... "

8. This has been a 10 year discussion between us.

One I will not win. Her view is it's the mice or the house. I've patched every hole and then some but they get in. We don't bait and poison them concerned that other animals will eat them. Once they're inside she resorts to drastic measures. They even gnaw on the plastic containers we store food in if they go unchecked.

2. Poor everyone, including the mice. Apparently mice aren't indigenous and

and Australia's been having mouse plagues every few years ever since introduction, but not usually like this. Reportedly females can breed every 3 weeks. Don't think I've done anything to deserve coming back as a mouse, certainly hope not.
