Hello. This is Sumiko, the design staff of Beautiful Natural Milobina.

All of a sudden, I've been fighting rats for the past month or so.
Yes, it's a rat. It's not a metaphor for anything. It's not about the zodiac signs, it's not about dreamland.
There was a mouse in my house...
Those rats were so prolific that they gave rise to terms such as pyramid scheme and pyramid scheme. That mouse that the blue cat-shaped robot is so afraid of that it faints.

I'm persistently calling you a rat, but please forgive me. Because I really don't like it.

I'm sure there aren't many of you reading this who have had mice come into your house. Regardless of the Showa era, even the Heisei era is now in the past, and now we are in the Reiwa era, so I don't think it is as popular as the G.

Mice are just cute, aren't they?
His hair is short but fluffy, his ears are big, his beard is sharp, his eyes are round, and his eyes are round. It moves slightly and is full of charm.

He is also portrayed as a cute and smart character in anime and other anime. Tom and Jerry, Mickey Mouse, Hamtaro (is that a hamster?), Pikachu, Gamba, Guri and Gura. cute.

But that! ! This is limited to 2D images such as photos, manga, and illustrations! Even if Hyakupo Yuzu is in 3D, it's only for viewing at the zoo!

In fact, when you think about how horrifying it was to be seen inside the house...
It's not the same as G. With G, you can struggle with a newspaper in hand. But the mouse can't do anything. I took a breath, and a moment later I felt a shiver run down my spine...
And anyway, it makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable. I can't tell you all about it with my writing skills. This disgust.

I hate rats! However, what is even more troubling than the dislike is the fear of the bacteria and diseases that rats carry. Although I knew this, I was too busy to look into it properly. I just did a little research for this blog and found out that it's horribly serious, and I feel like I can't make fun of this...
I had been hesitating for a while, but I decided to hire a professional to exterminate it!

So, I would appreciate it if you could read this lightly as a story that will be resolved soon.
That's why I won't write about the true horror of mice here! One more thing to note: Milibina products will not be available either! yeah? So what does it mean to write here? Hmm. worry.

Well, about a month ago, it happened in the middle of the night. Just a moment.
While I was working on my computer, something black crossed the corner of my eye! ?
What? what? Ghost? Eye disease? Like floaters? So scary

The next day, I told my sons, ``Maybe I saw your mother's ghost.''
``Mom, you can't fool yourself, it's G, G,'' she said with a laugh.

Hmm, I think it was bigger. But G is better than a ghost. So, I decided to dismiss it as a cockroach for now. That's just fooling yourself.

but! The next day, the identity was revealed.
Of course, it's a rat.
As expected, I saw it clearly this time in the middle of the night. A small, dark animal with a long, slender tail, clearly an ``animal'', ran under the refrigerator!

I can't make a sound. completely frozen. Let it solidify for 1 minute, 2 minutes. Then, this time, go under the drawer a little further away from the bottom of the refrigerator. My fleeting hope that I was wrong was crumbling.

It makes me feel shiver. I was so excited.
A shiver runs down my back and all the way to the top of my head. It's like a manga. Ah, I hate it. I'm still nervous as I type on the keyboard.

Even though these creatures are supposed to be cute when we see them, why do we feel horrified when we witness them inside our homes?
My second son, 14 years old, gave me a lecture with a knowing look on his face as I muttered this.
"I think it's because they feel like their territory is being invaded and they're being defiled."

I see. Have a point. What's more, the little prior knowledge that ``mice carry pathogens'' is fully utilized to maximize the sense of dirtiness. Is that why I hate N even more than G than M? I am now confident that I can calmly deal with both G and M.
In fact, one morning after the mouse encounter, G came stumbling towards me, which was unusual even though it was winter, but I ignored him, thinking, ``I think he's about to die.'' For someone like me who knows the feeling of being stained with 10, the feeling of being stained with 3 is not a big deal. It's nothing to be proud of.

By the way, do you know what M means? It's the one with a lot of legs. I wonder what kind of house they live in, that something like that even comes out normally...And what's more, G comes out in the winter.

M is also my natural enemy because I know the pain of being bitten by M, but that's another story.
This is a bit off-topic, but what has happened to our house since the mice came out?

Of course, it's against rats.
Measure 1: Ultrasonic rat repellent.
However, it seems to be ineffective depending on the type of mouse. Part of it also depends on the performance of the repellent aircraft. Also, it seems that even if it works once, you get used to it quickly, but if you use an ultrasonic generator that costs around 20,000 yen and has a frequency that fluctuates, you can prevent this from developing resistance.
Well, there was a lot of talk, but I wanted to use it right away, so I bought one for about 3,000 yen at a local hardware store. Actually, you should put one on each floor, but for now, let's buy one and see how effective it is.

Measure 2 is cleaning.
Don't create easy places for rats to hide. Do not leave anything that could be food for rats. This is also to make it easier to find if droppings are found. You shouldn't accidentally step on it and spread it around, and it's best not to vacuum it up. It looks like a lot of things are coming out of the exhaust port.

As a result of paying attention to tidyness and cleanliness to prevent rats, our house, which was always a mess, was now sparkling clean! As expected, it didn't turn out that way, but I think it's still much cleaner than before.
I can't believe I vacuum every day before going to bed...! (So what kind of house do you live in?)

Measure 3: Spray alcohol disinfectant spray frequently to eliminate bacteria spread by rats. When using not only the table, but also the top of the plates stacked flat in the tableware drawer, wipe them with a tissue. Also swish at the place where you cleaned up the poop.
It may be the last time since a child was infected with rotavirus that disinfection and sterilization were carried out with proper intention.

Actually, I should search every room, attic, etc. and block off the entry routes for rats (Countermeasure 4), but I'm a little scared of that... Because I don't want to see you. I don't even want to see it.
For the same reason, I don't want to use mouse traps (measure 5) at all. Even the Hoi Hoi house format is not possible. Even if you can't see it, just think it's inside. Ugya~
Poison bait (measure 6) is also no good. I don't want to see it, but I hate it even more if it dies alone and rots away where I can't see it.

That's it. After all, you haven't done much at all, have you? Don't say that.
My attitude towards everyday life is different!

I never thought I'd come to Milobina's blog and read a story about a mouse, right?
This is a story that is of no use to anyone, but I accidentally exceeded 2,500 characters, so I will continue with the second part about how to prepare for mice. Of course, it's not a great mindset. I don't know.

Thank you for joining us for the first part.
