Of Mice and Men...err...men and mice..

We have mice in our house. I have yet to see a living mouse, yet I continue to find the little presents they are leaving in the most random disgusting places in my house-basement shelves, cupboard, mudroom bench. I will be the first one to admit, I have some obsessive tendancies. I also am a complete germ FREAK. With that said, Im sure you can imagine how I am handling the above stated DISASTER. My brain has not stopped. I have read every article that I can get my hands on in regards to trapping mice, preventing mice, sealing your house, detecting "mice doors" into the home.... Im so full of all the "knowledge" that the world wide web has given me that I am having trouble sleeping at night, I am spending a fortune on cleaning products, scrubbing my house and my kids and OBSESSING over how in the world these little buggers have made their way into my house. I spent roughly an hour last night examining my house with a flashlight. Im not sure what exactly I am looking for, but I was trying to find some sort of answer as to how these things have gotten in. We have lived in our house for 6 years and NEVER had mice. Last night we put out 5 traps, 3 have since been thrown out because they caught a mouse. GROSS. I have been ranting on and on about how we are going to resolve this issue that I discovered Wednesday night, and the hubby seemed to act as though it was no big deal. That was of course until he was picking up the dead mice this morning that our traps had caught.... now he wants to call someone. I feel like that is the automatic answer for all of our problems.."Who do we call?", "Can you call someone?", "Do you know someone to call?". GRRRR... We are not made of money, therefore we should not live as though "calling someone" is no big deal. To me, "calling someone" translates to "$$$$$". We are literally just paying someone for sheer convenience. I have a problem with that. Am I looking forward to catching mice and cleaning day after day for the next week or two until this thing is taken care of, NO, I would like some help. But the help I am seeking is from my husband, not from the ORKIN man... and not at the expense of a couple hundred dollars. Needless to say, this is only day 3 of the mice infestation. I am trying to think on the positive, there were 5 traps out and only 3 mice caught.. could that be it?? BAHAHAHA.. yeah right. Here is to hoping.. Tonight, I will be on a rampage.
