Mice in the woodstove
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2015 1:41 pm
Late summer, when the rodents are starting to think about finding a winter apartment, we often find mice stuck in our woodstove. I'm not 100% sure how they get in there, they could get in from the house through the vents, but I am starting to think that they are coming in from outside and going down the chimney. Anybody else have this issue? It is more annoying and distressing (starving trapped mice) than anything else, but one time the critter shredded the door gasket in what I assume was an attempt to escape. I have taken to leaving the stove door ajar when it is "the season"
Our stove has a glass door, so often the first awareness i have of the mouse in there is the cats watching "kittie TV"![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
