Aaah, the young ones, they have not learned the sophistication of Time Travel. But I have sworn to use my powers only for good. For now, the mice are keeping their activities to the front room. After I spend a week in LA, we shall see if they have breached the hallway. But if it makes you feel better, you can believe that I am making it up.

Mice? Aren't they a bit.... by Kid on 2001-10-31 03:47:58  |  Reply to this
  ...well, not nice? Can't you get mouse traps out? Or Mouse poison down? Or are they resilient little blighters? I'm a bit worried now. We have a spider problem, but they're easily removed with water and a pan, and they live on too, once disposed of but mice; that's like another level.

  Just a little note here about my WormNerd reference to Warfarin. It was discovered a century or more ago as the ingredient which caused the death of cattle that ate soured hay. Used in DeCon® and other rodent poisons, it causes fatal hemorrhage. Interestingly, it is the active ingredient in Coumadin®, one of the most widely used anticoagulant therapy medications. Tomorrow's topic: gardening.

  DeCon® is indeed my mouse poison of choice. I just love the ironic packaging that makes it look like a tasty wedge of cheese. I also love how it is the brand that they sell in the hardware store on my block. Interesting about the hemorrhage. I sometimes notice a little blood around the mouths of the dead ones. Yes, in the past year I have dispatched dozens of rodents. No, they don't seem to be getting the message. The mouse intelligence agency just isn't passing it on to the others that Apartment 5-A is full of little blue death pellets. Maybe I should drop some leaflets in the lobby to educate the other mice.
