Seems I have mislaid another piece of writing. I really, really hate that.

Well... my friend doesn't want my couch, and my brother doesn't want the two high-back lazyboy chairs. Given the mouse problem I've got, that's probably not the worst thing in the world. I cleaned them down real good, didn't notice any droppings on or inside them, and the covering underneath the pieces was still intact without holes in them. But again, if some random stranger is going to take the stuff I won't feel bad about it. I'd always be wondering if somebody I knew took them. So it's for the best.
Verified with the city that the garbage company will take the entire L-shaped couch on trash day. I'm to call them if they don't. In even better news, I don't have to plan a special trip to get rid of any electronics. Turns out my city will come and remove them on trash day after scheduling a special pickup. Going to get rid of my two tube tvs, the innards from the projection screen that I didn't keep, and some old tech that I should have gotten rid of a long time ago.
I forgot to ask if they would take a projection screen. Breaks my heart to get rid of the nice one, but it's another 300+ lbs out of my life and I've got a reasonable sized flat screen to tide me over for a while until more funds are available. I still may choose to break the TV down myself though. There's some nice stuff inside those TVs. I'm not sure if the good one is constructed as well as that ancient one my folks gave me, but if it is, there might be another really nice base with high quality castors on the bottom. I salvaged that from the old TV and it's going to be a cinch wheeling out the pieces of the couch on that. 
These mice gotta go. Got bait stations all over the place. I'm going to find and clean up all of the traps and get them going too. I'm sure they've been around for a while given the amount of poop I'm finding when I remove furniture and the fact that I can hear them in the walls when I've been quiet for a few hours.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Yeah... the hits just keep coming. *sigh*
Not a single bite of any of the traps.
Granted, that L-shaped couch has been there for about 4 years now, and I have gotten rid of mice in the past. The "evidence" might have been old news.
I'm only assuming I've got mice in the walls. I haven't actually seen anything yet. There are two holes in the soil at the front of the house that I've seen. Jesus, I'm hoping it's not rats.
If not mice, ground squirrels maybe?
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Those holes in the front yard could be moles, Jack.
