Victor - my newest love

As it turns out, leaving my cabin for a week meant surrendering ground to the mice who seem to think that my home, is their home. Although it might not seem too troublesome, hearing mice gnaw, nibble, scramble, scratch, and scurry all night it enough to drive a person mad. As I am not the only one to experience this problem on campus, a group of graduate students declared our cabins a war zone with the enemies being, none other than, our five-inch roommates, the mice.

After spraying, scrubbing, and washing our cabins, we introduced our secret weapon: Victor. As pictured above, Victor is a small contraption the will certainly make the mice think twice before they attempt to scurry along the floor (or across our beds.) As a mousetrap it is small, quick and effective (I did extensive research on mousetraps prior to Victor's arrival.)

So now I have ten Victor's along the walls of my cabin just waiting for the first mouse to make his appearance. With Victor's help, I am hoping to have Rolling Thunder a mouse-free zone in a few short weeks. In the meantime, I intend to invest in some durable ear plugs!
