I just wanted to say thank you for having the most insightful response in the thread.

I spent most of my day today moving everything around outside my home.

I’m pacifist and an environmentalist.

I like to think of myself the same.

I’ve live trapped, death trapped, stomped, killed, purposefully and accidentally killed lots of mice.

And I’ve had to do the same here. It sucks… the place I live currently is incredibly remote and it’s a constant battle keeping critters out of my home. It’s wonderful to be able to be surrounded by so much natural beauty, but it gets infuriating when it’s within my space. And this year seems to be the worst since I’ve lived here.

I’ll spend more time in the next couple weeks before the cold rain and snow hits patching up holes and moving things around. Thanks again for your insight!
