Welcome to the city that never sleeps

I think I've realized why people never sleep in large cities: because they are infested with mice thus creating frightening nightmares when one does attempt to get some shut eye.

I speak from experience. My flat isn't ghetto, but yet still there is a mouse (or mice) who had found its way into our kitchen. Ok, could be worse...and it fact it is.

This has happened 3 or 4 times where I wake up to a scratching noise from inside the ceiling above my bed. Mind you, the vaulted ceiling is very low here in my room, so this mouse is literally separated by 1" of drywall from landing on my sleeping face. Shudder. As usual, find a graph best describes my situation.



I'm too scared to plant mouse traps, and have no real idea how I could catch one inside a wall anyway (our food is secure, so it's coming in from outside).

Completely irrelevant side note: anyone interested in visiting me and staying at my humble abode :)

  4. Ah bless - I wish I could offer some words of comfort - so here goes - it's probably actually rats in your house and they're probably coming in from your sewer - you might even come home to find a dead one floating in your toilet - if not - consider yourself blessed and lucky cause that's what I had to deal with when I moved to London!!! Sweet memories ;-)
