Don’t confuse the story with the creature. Mice are rodents and multiply rapidly. Your posters are correct. They will find a way back in to your home. The only way to resolve this problem is to KILL THEM! They are NOT cute. And, yes, peanut butter is the way to go.

Another old Maine trick is to set out a bucket with molasses in it, and provide a ramp for them to get to the top. The mice fall in and die, leaving no odor. This is especially good in a
basement or shed and works for an entire season, maybe longer.

Happy New Year, my friend.

Happy New Year, my friend.

Which means when it gets cold, my garage becomes a haven for critters. Last winter, I “caught” 17 mice in my garage…which is my nice way of saying they’ll never see daylight again. They make a mess, destroy things, urinate all over my tools making them rust, and generally are a nuisance. And occasionally one will make its way into the house much to my wife’s chagrin. We’ve also relocated major populations of squirrels and chipmunks, a family of raccoons and a snapping turtle. Our Golden Retrievers have proven to be no help in this regard.

If you live trap, just make sure you locate them far enough away from the house or they’ll be back.

(Ian Anderson makes it seem like there something risqué to the lyrics as he sings, but there isn’t — it is about a cat.)

Thanks. You may be happy to hear (if you don’t already know it) that on YouTube, someone has put up this video of a reading of the book, plus its illustrations.

(actually there is a 1947 children’s book by that name, “Bad Mousie: Donica’s story”) by Martha Dudley, dedicated to her daughter Donica. Martha was the daughter of our family Dr in the days when physicians still made house-calls. The illustrations are to die for!)

(Click on the ebay listing to get a sample of illistrustation on the 1947 original cover. Later books lack the cover illustration and I’m not certain how many of the original illustrations are contained in the later versions, but the 1947 printing on ebay has them all. You should check it out Neo-Neo!)
