Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted February 25, 2016 Super User Posted February 25, 2016 For the past 2 months I have been certain there has been a mouse in my wife's crv. We rarely drive it, preferring to ride in the luxury of our Expedition instead. Well after finding a half eaten acorn and mouse poop in the storage over the glove box. I was able to confirm today that there has in fact been a mouse visiting our car. Upon looking into the engine compartment I have now ascertained how the little buggers has been getting in there. Apparently there is a random door under the hood labled "frame number behind" that leads directly to the interior frame behind the dash and air vents. Unfortunately for Mr Mouse I closed this door. I kinda feel bad for Squeakers, seeing as he is a country mouse and not a city mouse. Kind of a tawny brown assuming he is the same one I've seen running about the drive way at night some times. Any way the little fella apparently just wanted to get out of the cold. I mean he even left us half of his dinner as a thank you. I wonder if he squeaks with a Southern draw? Kinda like Speedy Gonzalez squeaked with a central American dialect. 1 Quote

Probably when he bites my leg cause he is hungry. Then again being a country mouse from alabama he will probably get into my sweet tea when I take the car to be cleaned and washed tomorrow. Quote

So when he dose finally throw his hat in the ring for president. He will look like a nice, well educated, southern man. Although he might have a hard time explaining why his wife and him. Had the same last name before marriage. 2 Quote

Least I can just say I'm from Alabama. LMFAO! 2 Quote

I don't have the body hair for it, and I am losing all my extra fat. Although I think you would fit in up here. I have never been down south, but it is pretty redneck up here. Ask your pipefiiter friend if you don't believe me. 2 Quote

You'll know when you're paying a fortune at the Honda dealership to have the wiring harness replaced that he chewed up when you trapped him inside. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted February 26, 2016 Super User Posted February 26, 2016 I had to dispose of a mouse for a hysterical neighbor several years ago. She'd caught the mouse on one of those sticky traps....inside her car. So it definitely does happen, this was in the winter time also. Quote

Don't know about western Michigan but once you get north of Madison WI, the inbreeding becomes more prevalent True story: A deceased biker friend of mine decided to retire, bought a bar, and move from Chicago to Boyd WI. which is about an hour east of Chippewa Falls and, at that time, the population was maybe 600. There was an Amish town just south of there and when we visited, we used to stop because wifey wanted to go antiquing. We got to talking to a couple who owned an antique store in this town. In addition to running the store, they ran a taxi service for the Amish folks. What I found most interesting is they would take people from their town and drop them off in Amish villages out of state and bring the out of towners back with them. They were introducing new blood into the villages because of inbreeding. Apparently it's no BS that inbreeding causes birth defects. Take tipptruck for example........ 2 Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 26, 2016 Super User Posted February 26, 2016 Raider, did you think that there could be more than one? And by shutting out their way in (as you think) you have kept the ones already in the car in the car. I would suggest putting one or two mouse traps on the rear seat floor just to make sure there are no others in the SUV. Just a suggestion. Quote

So.... Sam, I have given that some thought. You have a valid point on there possibly being more than one mouse or mice if you will. I don't particularly care for mouse traps. They hurt my fingers when I try an clean the cheese off of them. Instead I have decided to place a cat in the car and let him remove any stragglers.. Sam, I have given that some thought.

Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted February 28, 2016 Author Super User Posted February 28, 2016 UPDATE The mouse no longer moves around. He did a flying leap onto my leg when I was cleaning the car today. After screaming like a little girl, and spilling my monster all over myself. I swatted him to the floor and stomped him with my boot. I used perhaps a bit more force than necessary, because he now is sleeping. After confirming that he is most assuredly not going to wake back up. I briefly contemplated holding a funeral for squeakers. Then decided it would be too much effort, and tossed his limp body into the roll out trash can. Thus ending the saga of Squeakers the mouse. 1 Quote

Part of me is disappointed though. I figured you would be posting from a ER some were. Because you decided to shoot while in was on your leg. 2 Quote
