Grazie, you got rid of your monleys by making them edit, make the mouse work with 3d movement, he'll quit and leave for sure!

Mice are not cute when they burn your house down. Kill.

Where there's one, there's probably more. Set several traps and get rid of them. The damn thngs are as bad as squirrels for chewing through things - like 1/2" drywall to get into a kitchen :-(

I had this problem last winter and was able to catch all of them. Check out these guys they have all kinds of traps that either kill 'em or capture them for "relocation."

Whatever you decide, make sure you get it on-camera. I hear the new cable "Rodent Channel" is desperate for material. HTH. Darryl

If you're feeling guilty about killing the little guy, get a cat and let God sort it out.

Cheers!

As much as I love animals this isn't an issue to be taken lightly. Yesterday a major production company lost it's offices here, $2M lost. At first it was thought it was arson however final verdict was rats chewing through electrical cables in the roof.
A cat is a good idea, the guy who runs dvxuser.com had a shelf above his monitor for pussy to sleep on, sadly pussy has since passed away.
Mice and cockroaches (even more so) are a major threat to electronic devices. There's enough organic stuff inside most bits of electronic gear to feed a cockroach for life. I've found ones that had obviously crawled in when they were small and grown too large to get out and so lived their life inside the box. The excrement is highly corrosive and about the only way to erradicate them is to put the gear inside a plastic bag along with a good squirt of strong bug killer and even then may require repeated treatment as the eggs are hard to kill.

SERIOUS ANSWER -
Grazie - we lived in the country for years and this is the tried and true mouse killer...
1. Get a small brown sandwich sized paper bag
2. Get standard spring mouse trap
3. Bait (carefully, now) with peanut butter (not a joke - they love it)
4. Put baited trap into bag
5. Check in AM - you should have a dead mouse in a paper bag - just throw the whole mess away.
Goiod luck

ps if above won't work, I'd suggest investing in an exterminator (human)

Here is something to keep cockroaches away (this tip was given to me by an off duty exterminator).

1) Buy some Borax. Usually you can buy this at the grocery store in the laundry detergent section.
2) Buy/get a turkey baister. If you need to buy one, buy it in the kitchen/cooking section of the grocery store.
3) At home/office, put the Borax in the turkey baister. With a screwdriver, unscrew the face-plates of some of the electric plugs/switches. With the turkey baister, "shoot" the borax into the wall space between the walls.
You can also use this method to put borax behind refrigerators, stoves, etc.

** Warnings: If you have kids/toddlers, this may not be an option for you. I was living in a cheap apartment in Texas, where there are GIANT bugs when I did this, so I REALLY needed it. Anyway, Borax is made of Boric Acid, one of my friends said he thought that Boric acid is corrosive to electicity, so I just made sure it didn't go on the electric wires.

Anyway, I lived in that apartment for 3 years and 1) it didn't have any electrical problems, and 2) the cockroaches "pretty much" went away, and 3) I wasn't breathing "roach spray" (that scares me more than the roaches)!

you might wake up to
THIS
if you dont do any thing about it soon.

HAHAHA! . .

Do you think I should leave it alone and start making "other" types of movies?

. . . very VERY funnny indeed!

Grazie

Here's my story:
I have a pack rat that lives outside beneath my patio deck. He (well, I don't know, it might be a she) leaves piles of sticks and stones on my deck. I'm perpetually sweeping them off, only to find that within a week he's brought the same ones back.

My girlfriend has suggested that he may be, perhaps, trying to leave me a cryptic message. At her suggestion, I've begun photographing the piles and looking for a sign. I'm now considering a rat art exhibit.

So, I guess my advice is to not worry until that Mickey starts giving you advice. Then it may be time for a little therapy, eh?

Having my editing studio in the basement (last room up for grabs) has brought some interesting companions. As the weather turns colder I can hear the scurrying of little feet. May be mice or chipmonks......

Earlier this year, I decided to eradicate the rascals. Put some mouse poison in the ceiling panels.

Mouse, in his last act of defiance, retaliated by becoming smelly (which some who have seen my work say is appropriate). After spraying about half a can of Lysol into the ceiling, and with the passage of time, the odor is gone.

Moral of the story is that mice hold grudges. Be careful whom you mess with....

If you check with your local pest control company or hardware store, they should have live traps. That way you know you got him and no dead mice smell. Then you can take him for a loooonnnngggg ride to the conutry. LOL Or you can keep him as a pet and name him George.
