#i don't remember if i told you guys about my great miserable toaster mouse battle. i had hoped this had dampened their spirits

[unopenablebox]

finally got the pest control guy in yesterday, he said "how do you think the mice are getting in." i say "well they seem to mostly be near the stove and ive seen them run behind the stove, so i think they might be coming from behind the stove" and he says "seems reasonable, hang on" so i wander off to do other stuff and he says "hey come here" so i go there and he's pulled the stove forward and it turns out there's a 1' by 4" rectangular hole in the wall behind the stove and he says "i think they're getting in this way" and i said "yeah" and he says "i'll put some traps and stuff here and tell maintenance to come fix this big hole in the wall" and i said "great thanks" and he put traps in and put the stove back and left

anyway i think the mice found the traps because this morning we woke up to discover that something had busted a two-inch piece of insulation out from inside the kitchen hot air vent. and also i spent part of the night awake because something spent 20 minutes making a very loud gnawing-on-plastic sound in my room at five o clock in the morning. and based on the angle it was either trying to eat through my not-currently-in-use window unit for unclear reward, or trying to come in through the wall. so my current hypothesis is that there are. also some other holes. inside the walls. connecting things. and the mice also know this
