I can't believe I am even bringing this here, but I can't believe it and I am living it. I have a mouse that is a drug addict and I can't get rid of it! I'm serious! I have a drawer that has our meds in it,in the kitchen, and the mouse won't stay out of it. We've put out poison (which I don't like but I am getting desperate) as well as traps and we can't get rid of it. Can't catch it. It's only eating my DayQuil and NyQuil! Seriously! It is chewing thru the plastic blister packs and chews the gelcaps open and, I guess, drinks the medicine because they're always empty but no liquid is found in the drawer. All that is left is a drawer full of chewed plastic and empty gelcaps! Okay, and mouse poop, which totally grosses me out but it's how I know who is doing the damage. There was an open bowl of Cheerios on the counter right above the drawer and it wasn't touched. None of the other meds or any other food (bread, cereal, left out food scraps, trash, and so on) is ever touched. JUST my DayQuil and MyQuil. Not even any of the other meds, just those two. So, do they have a cough and cold they're trying to relieve? Insomnia? What the heck??

They still haven't touched the peanut butter traps, just the 'Quil gelcaps. I figured they would have overdosed, too, but nope. They just keep coming back for more! I find more poop in the drawers every day, no matter how much I clean them out. It's really frustrating!! I'm getting tired of re-washing everything in the drawers to get rid of mouse cooties.
