If you’ve lived and worked in the same place long enough, like I have, the structure is bound to decay. Walls and seams will break down, perforate, and sometimes provide access to unwanted visitors, especially in the colder months.
Here in my Colorado studio garage, cute little field mice have been starting to hold raves in my garage print studio this month, in spite of no food sources. They were easy to detect when the room was quiet in the form of scratching noises under the sink.
After catching a few, I noticed probable access points along the bottom corners of the garage doors and plugged them off with steel wool SOS pads. I’ve been catching them two at a time this week (!), and driving them to a field about a mile away after blindfolding them and spinning them in circles a few times. <:3
I like these live traps below, because you can see if you caught any without having to pick up the trap, and they don’t slam shut and mutilate the mice, which, besides being cruel, is gross to clean up. Peanut butter on a cracker is proving to be the best bait ever
