My wife has never forgiven me for this and its been about 6 years now. . .

I got a remote controlled mouse (she claims it was the size of a rat). Carefully placed behind the toilet in our bathroom.
I waited about 2 minutes after she went in and pushed the remote into forward, full speed.

Let's just say the screaming that came out of there made me laugh so hard I thought I was bleeding out of my eyes. I sure can be a dick at times.

Your lucky she doesn’t cut it off.

Wife and I had been married about six months. We lived in a rented doublewide. Wife was (and is) deathly afraid of mice. If she had seen a mouse in the house she probably would have never been comfortable there again.

Steel wool was stuffed in all the gaps around the plumbing pipe penetrations in the floor when we moved in. Wife decided the steel wool was unsightly even though it was in the sink base cabinets so she removed it unbeknownst to me.

I came home after work one evening and saw a mouse run across the kitchen floor about 6” in front of her. She didn’t see it. She was just about to start dinner. I was able to talk her into a surprise dinner out. While she went to the bedroom to change clothes, I had time to set a couple mouse traps in the kitchen sink base since that’s where we kept them. Doing that, I saw the steel wool had been removed from around the sink drain but no time to do anything about it.

When we got back from dinner, she went to take a shower before bed. One trap had a mouse so I tossed the dead mouse out the front door. Didn’t have any steel wool but had SOS pads, which were immediately stuffed in the gaps around the pipes in the kitchen and hall bath. When it was my turn to shower, the SOS pads in my pocket took care of the pipes in the master bath.

Later that night, told her I was getting a dishrag out from under the kitchen sink and noticed the steel wool was missing from around the pipes so I’d replaced with SOS pads since that’s all we had and we needed to keep mice out. She had no idea that’s why it was there. She also had no clue a mouse had run across the floor right in front of her, and knew nothing about a dead mouse from under the sink rotting away in the front yard. 35 years later she still knows nothing about it other than if you find steel wool stuffed in a crack in the house somewhere it doesn’t make sense, ask before removing it.

I have a friend who lives in town and she catches mice in live traps and then drives them out to the country and carefully relocates them…

My wife has no problems with mice. She used to handle pet mice. OK, I lied, she has a big problem with them when they get into the home. For this reason, I have bait stations at the outer perimeter of the home and keep the garage fully stocked with mouse bait in all the corners and along the walls. When I see a piece of bait missing, I replace it because I know that the mouse has taken the bait back to its home to feed the family. She doesn't like snakes and gets upset when one gets into the house. I usually can catch them and relocate them in the woods.

I have a 294 year old hose, and two large modern storage buildings.
While away in Florida for the Winter, ......
I put mouse packets on/around my three tractors, and boats & cars stored in the buildings.
The old house is a very different!
It is riddled with potential mouse access points.
I break open the poison pellet packs, and pour 3 or 4 into each plastic tray.
Probably total of 15 packs in the old cellar, and another 15 in the attic.
When I return in May,......pellets are,.....all gone.
So are the mice!

My wife's comment the time we got mice "No good lazy cats" - That said, the way we figured it out is our fat, old, lazy female cat caught one. The two young males? Nope. Over the course of getting rid of them - it was "Male cats:0, traps 2, old fat female cat 4"
