Pests

55 ...
"Scream!"  It is all you could do to unleash your panic-fear upon opening a cupboard and being frozen by a mouse staring at your face.  How did it get there?  The doors were tightly closed, were they not?  You do your best to calm your nerves and begin thinking quickly of how to catch and rid of the sickening, rabid-potential creature.  You slowly take out contents of the shelf.  You wonder, "Where could it hide?"  You see nothing at first, but it becomes obvious to you that perhaps, just perhaps, that one corner box housing an unused container could be the one it uses as nesting/hiding spot.  You have no recourse, but take the hair-raising task.  You take an old ladle and use it to poke open the suspected nest-box.  Eeeeewe!  You were right all along.  Not one, but four tiny and starving mice have housed themselves in the corner-most section of the box.  With strong resolve, you take the boxed-in mice out of your cupboard and strike them violently to death and get done with their menacing germs and threat!
