When last we played Mice Wars, the issue was a hot conflict wherein Rogue Meeses were Invading The Kitchen (likely through the stove wire access hole) and shitting all over my countertops. It was a highly active conflict put to rest by way of traps set on the stovetop overnight and morning-after dead meeses and also pulling out the stove and addressing the hole around the stove power cable coming through the wall so that it was way less... spacious for meeses.

I live in a tiny, poorly constructed cabin in the woods. It's about two steps above shack. When the weather changes to cold, I get mice. This is one of the rhythms of the season, along with the skunks under the house (it's on pillars like a mobile home but it is not a mobile home) in February for some sort of gleefully redolent event that I can only presume is the skunk-fuckening.

The mice generally leave me alone in spring, summer, and fall. There is ample food outside and they don't come in my house and make a mess. But when the weather turns seriously cold, at least some mice decide that inside is better than outside and these mice, not to put too fine a point on it, must die.

( The cabin is also inhabited by two bloody useless cats, but enough about them. )
