Things we won't miss!
Spiders and mice and snakes... oh my! 
So, um, we found this in our yard the other day! Matt saw it from the second floor and asked if I thought it was a snake?! Hmmm. He went out with a rake. I don't know what happened but he's dead! Not Matt... the snake! With my detective skills I believe he was attacked by an outsider... then to put himself out of misery, gave himself a lethal injection... venom!
You know as beautiful as the country side is ... and I will miss that ... I will NOT miss the giant, quarter-sized spiders, the mice, and now the snakes! Yes, suburbia USA does have it's benefits!
The mice. You know, as much as I know, in my head, they are just mice. Eeeww, they are mice! They are dirty, poopy - literally, gross creatures that can't help but leave their mark everywhere they go! Gross!
I remember being nervous to go to our storage room in the basement (as a child). I remember hearing them scurry when we turned on the light. I remember seeing the limp bodies trapped by the "iron claw"! Yes DCON, which we have used here, is much more "humane". You don't have the clean up, but I don't know which is worse! With DCON as the poison is killing them, they get a little ... how should I say it ... slow!
Twice we have had the problem of the mouse not eating enough to kill it, just getting enough to "start" to kill it. So then we have the problem of the mouse loosing it's great "instincts" of not coming out until we are all asleep! Numerous times, since they are off, they will just come out and pay a visit. Music blasting, lights on, people around, doesn't matter! I'd rather "live" with a mouse never seeing it! I don't like always being on edge, wondering if the, half there mouse, is going to run over my toes! I know this last one is finally dead! Relief! And our move isn't too far away! The light at the end of the tunnel is just what I need to deal with MICE!
