Hahaha!  You're wicked...and I love it!!

We live close to the prairie and have had problems with mice in the garage before...so the mousetraps are a 'go'.  I'm going to put them in and on the boxes, and mark the ousides with an 'x' so I'll know which ones have been baited...and if the neighbors don't like their kids getting pinched, that's tough.  Shouldn't have let them be in my garage, poking around in my stuff.  I've warned them a bunch of times not to go in there, and they take absolutely no notice.....

We'll have left before the cold weather comes, so the AC unit is going to have to do.  The laundry vent is on the outside of the front of the house, so that's a no-go...but the AC is in the backyard, readily accessible.  I'm going to play with some smells to get the strongest, longest lasting effect.....I was thinking that some shrimp or chicken might accidentally find it's way back there, but decided against that - evidence.  Liquid is a much better idea...we have the occasional skunk finding it's way into housing, so there's a plausible explanation.
