Lisa what would ya want for making me something kinda like that, but for my garden tractor? Ive been wanting to get someone to do a "case 446" with "custom" underneath of it to put on the backside of the fenders. Something that kinda looks fancy, and something i could just take into a stoke and get a sticker made out of it, or maybe something i could cut out and paint on....
I always loved the sunflower pictures, they are such a neat plant, and they always make pictures great!

Any decal shop should be able to do die-cut weatherproof stickers as you mentioned. Just give me a rough idea of what you're lookin for, I can get you a digital file you can email to the sticker shop.
I love Sunflowers too. They are such a cool plant. Arizona Mark, nice pictures!
Well, I gotta go to Walmart this morning and check out their array of mouse trap devices. I woke up this morning and the lil shat was sitting in the middle of my bedroom on his little hind legs, looking at me as if to say "come get me, b*tch"

Ah mouse problems, I JUST went through the same thing. I can give ya a few tips.
Victor mouse traps work the best. If you get some, try to get the ones with the yellow trigger that they have to trip off. I you just get the regular ones, and use peanut butter, and the mouse gets the bait off without setting the trap, put more peanut butter on the trigger so its heavier and easier to set off.
We did poison pellets too, but had one die in the wall and it stunk like ya wouldnt believe! Last time we used posion!
There are deterrents too. We used an electronic one, and it worked for a few days, til the mouse would get used to it.
In the end the final fix for us was to go around the place and put new skirting up. Since your moving out soon I doubt you want to go through the hassle of trying to find and repair the dime sized hole he is getting into.
A few other methods Ive found, but never tried, was mothballs and peppermint to deter them. Take a pail and make a walkway up it, and dangle a small piece of bacon over the middle that the mouse just cant quite get to, so he runs up the walkway, trys for the bacon and falls in the pail (you can fill it up with water too).

Victor mouse traps work the best. If you get some, try to get the ones with the yellow pad deal that they have to trip off. I you just get the regular ones, and use penut butter, and the mouse gets the bait off without setting the trap, put more peanut butter on the trigger so its heavier and easier to set off.

I've heard stories about the poison being a bad idea, unless you get one of those poison traps that lures the mouse in and then shuts behind them. I really would rather not sell my buyers a house with a stinky mouse in the walls.
I know exactly where he got in at, and it seems to be just one mouse (although its never easy to really know). Last year we trapped a mouse (fattest mouse I have EVER seen) and didn't have any problems the rest of the winter.
I have one of those "new age" plastic mousetraps and that thing sucks. I'm going to the store to get Victor traps just as you mentioned, and thats what I used last year and it worked great. This one seems pretty smart, after all he basically challenged me this morning. I know a challenge when I see one. Bring it on fuzzy *****.

Yeah life can get pretty interesting when you move out to a farm yard that hasnt been lived in for 30+ years, with a home ya bought for 4 grand! (whole idea being buy cheap to live in while building a new house)
Waiting for the housing prices that skyrocketed last year to come down abit before we go ahead and build, and had to keep the mice out!
No squirrels though, if I did I have a 22. for that!
My weekend sure have changed in the last few years... I remember (kinda) up all night causing trouble, drinking beers, and whatnot. Last night I was in bed at 10:30 haha.
Trust me Mark, I need a life way more then you lol.

Squirrels, what do most of y'all think of squirrels? Remember they're nothing but very furry rodents that do a lot of property damage. They are smart, industrious and nearly impossible to get rid of once they've moved in. Have you ever tried to hit one with your car or truck? It is impossible! I've been trying all of my life, in everything from Corvettes to my current Vdub. What I am saying is I have used some pretty quick to respond cars. A squirrel is nearly impossible to hit. For me, not nearly, but truly impossible.

I hate squirrels, they tear up my yard, flower beds and rile up my dog. Pellet gun is quiet enough to deal with the furry rodents where I live. I have neighbors really close that would never approve, since they feed them.
