OF MICE AND MEN

John Steinbeck's famous novella was adapted from Robert Burns poem TO A MOUSE, based on the idea that "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." Unfortunately, the mice in our home have big plans and don't seem to be giving up. I'm trying to be a man about it but I can't stand the little critters! I hate the idea of snapping their necks in a trap so have looked into other alternatives.

STOP PESTERING ME!

1.) http://www.target.com/ sells Sonic Pest Catchers for 24.95. Their high-frequency sound effectively repels rodents and is inaudible to people and pets.

2.) If you can't wait the 24 hours to ship, here's another alternative: Take an empty toilet paper roll and flatten half of it (so it sits and doesn't roll), rub peanut butter on one end and balance the roll at the end of a table or counter with a large trash can below. Hopefully the nasty little things will wander into the roll for the treat and slip right into the trash!

TIME TO COMPLETE TASK: 24 hours (shipping)

COST: $24.95
