I figured I'd let you all know about my mouse and my toilet since I posted about them both.
Today, I finally fixed my toilet seat and changed it. The first attempt frustrated me so much that I said screw it and lived with the broken one for a few days (I was away from home the last 8 days.. so its not as bad as it seems, no one was using it).
Let it be said that it was a hellish task. I took me about 45 minutes of intensive labor with a screwdriver that fell in the toilet bowl twice, and pliers.
Next, I FINALLY killed a mouse.. except I was away for 8 days so lord knows when it died and there was plenty more mouse poop to take care of.
So, I bought those traps where it kills the mouse and its covered so you dont' see it. however, somehow it was leaking and smelly and gross brown liquid was all underneath it. NASTY.
I tied a pillowcase around my mouth a nose, threw on rubber gloves and lysoled the heck outta the cabinet. I also threw some poison in there to kill anymore. Anyways.. I rushed out onto the balcony with the dead mouse in the bag and I swear my neighbor pulling in thought I was a robber (with a pillowcase tied around my head)! ha
Anyways.. New question.. I'm sure its not but how can you be sure that its a mouse and not a rat as well. Some of the poops are bigger than others. Not any of them are much bigger than a cooked grain of rice, but I still want to be sure.
