We have a home invasion by mice going on at the moment, so I've been putting out a humane trap. This pic was shortly taken before the little critter's release. The poor thing had made his nose sore trying to get out of the trap, so I gave him a biscuit too.

I'm fairly sure they're wood mice, not house mice. And despite the annoyance of having them scampering all over my stuff, I still think they're pretty cute. This one's the 12th that I've caught since Christmas. Either they're breeding, or they're finding their way back from the barn where I release them.

I haven't found how they're getting in yet, and they're so tiny that I doubt I ever will. So for now I just keep catching them and putting them back outdoors. Don't suppose anyone has suggestions for some kind of mouse repellant??
