I WAS RIGHT.

Lorenzo III, Daredevil Mouse, is out there. And he's coming into my living room now. Little bastard nipped right around the corner from kitchen to living room with all the lights on, I saw that motherfucker do it.

I would love, more than anything else, to seal up the hole they're coming in through, because I know exactly where it is. But I can't get to it, because it's behind the kitchen counter. The way this flat was laid out when it was refurbished, counters were installed but weren't butted up against the walls, because the power had to be run up to auxiliary outlets from behind them. There's a gap of about an inch all the way around the counter, but the counter is fixed in place. So unless I want to literally take my kitchen to pieces, I can't get to it.

I can't protect the counters, but at least all my food is in the fridge. Or hanging from hooks over my butcher's table as if I have goddamn BEARS living in my walls.

BEARS!

ETA: No seriously, I can't seal the hole with steel wool, guys. Thanks for suggesting it, but I can't get to the hole.

Yeah, that's where the traps go, at the exits -- that's where I've caught two -- but they won't fit in the gap. Also the mice can get onto the counter without leaving the gap until they reach the counter, so unless I want snap traps on my counters...
