We had a mouse, or some critter, on the couch. It was in the basement of our summer house and when I opened up the sofabed I found a cache of nut shells and droppings. I vacuumed it up and that was the end of the drama. We get used to sharing that house with various critters and spiders in the off season, despite our best efforts to ward them off. We've tried glue traps and traditional traps (not a good idea when you aren't there for an extended period), the plug in traps (just drives them to another part of the house), etc. and eventually decided to live with it. They aren't inside at all in the summer and we only seem to get them every couple of years.

See, this would make me want to off myself. I hate rodents THAT BAD. They make me shake, cry, and scream. Yes, I'm totally irrational about this. I'm actually quite fearless about other things.
