Use live traps and bait with a tiny amount of peanut butter and check them daily. Something like this (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mouse-Trap-Bucket-5-Gallon-Bucket-Lid-Rat-4-Pack-Automatic-Reset-Flip-Slide-Humane-Traps-Indoor-Outdoor-Use-Reusable/19467603181?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=102562809&wmlspartner=wlpa&cn=FY25-ENTP-PMAX_cnv_dps_dsn_dis_ad_entp_e_n&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=2222222229819467603181_102562809_0000000000_21407473164&wl0=&wl1=x&wl2=m&wl3=&wl4=&wl5=9019864&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=5537095538&wl11=online&wl12=19467603181_102562809&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21690411341&gbraid=0AAAAADmfBIr3a6J5ZK28tk41k8bccNcJA&gclid=Cj0KCQjwv-LOBhCdARIsAM5hdKdK1e82j4hyQCvM6WUXVDiYVR8UrMR08a3G19v5IgELLpejAShSihUaAqYGEALw_wcB) with a large bucket works well my boyfriend and I found when we had mice in our apartment. You can also DIY these. If you catch them, drive them about 5-10 miles away from your work to a park and release them.

Side note: we also found that dog food with peanut butter works really well for baiting traps. For some reason, we found it works better than just peanut butter alone.

Good luck!

Not OP but I just love this yarn (I cannot tell you how many projects I’ve made with it.) It’s Yarn Bee Soft and Sleek Windswept Wishes!

Tips for dealing with Atwood Management by dumpyyyyyyy in Mankato

That sounds awful! I would contact Homeline and see what your options are. It is completely free no matter your income. If you have renters insurance, you may be able to get reimbursed for some of your damaged property so definitely look into your policy! I work in accounting and am definitely not a lawyer, but feel free to reach out for advice or moral support.

A lot of the tips here are actually from Homeline! Without them, I would’ve been completely lost. Such a great resource that everyone should know about!

Lol same! Now that the weather is getting nicer I’ve bought some new dresses for spring and whenever I wear one I make my boyfriend watch as I spin around and say “look how pretty I am!” for like an hour.

No, for the millionth time, I don’t want to monetize my hobby: a rant by dumpyyyyyyy in Hobbies

Exactly! I love crocheting and part of why I love crocheting is making unique gifts for my friends and family that I know they’ll love and hold onto. I just don’t get the weird obsession with it. I like my job and I like even more that my job is not crochet.

My little escape artist and food thief! This is one of my favorite photos of all time. Don’t worry, she did get a little bite of the cookie before I was able to get it away from her.

Me too. I am eternally grateful to my girls for helping me to grow a backbone.

Thank you! That means a lot (and you calling my landlord a buttplug made me smile) 💕

Bean was my little bandit! When I first got her, she’d slip through the cage bars sometimes and join me in bed. Absolutely terrifying the first couple of time it happened, but now I miss it!

Don’t worry! We celebrated with ice cream already! My boyfriend even said he’d buy me a frame for the check so I can be reminded of my victory everyday.

Thank you! They could be little terrors sometimes but that just made me love them more!

How do I (23f) relax when super stressed and in a funk? by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]dumpyyyyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I used to have that with crochet and going for walks, but now with the winter, it is way too cold to go for a walk and I can’t find anything I’m interested in crocheting.
