Last night was one of those long-open-eyes night where I couldn’t even find a position in my bed to get a good sleep. When you are in the dark, sitting on the bed, trying some self-hypnosis to go back to your sweet dreams, the only thing you can do is hear noises. Lots of noises. Strange noises.

Luckily for me, last night I was awake enough to listen to my new “house mate” trying to jump into the rubbish bag like a parachute man to start his late dinner!

Mice are a big problem. If you don’t cut it short, they will establish themselves on the warm environment of your house and soon you will have a full Mickey Mouse family of dads, siblings, uncles and so on.

First essential tip to avoid these “unwanted” neighbours: Clean, clean and clean. Sorry! There is no other way. A small bread crumb that you leave on the kitchen floor could be the start of a feast for your little house mate. And do not leave open rubbish bags during the night like I did! (I know! silly me!)

Another helpful tip: Organise your house. Leave it empty of clutter. This will avoid the creation of warm and cosy places for the little mice to stay in.

No need to say that I didn’t manage to catch my “housemate” yet. But… I am watching you!! 🙂
