Actually I have a horror story but can;t recall what insect it was–something like locusts? When I was younger my parents took my sister and I to Kennesaw Battleground in Georgia. I recall not wanting to get out of the car due to bugs that were flying around.
I lasted the whole summer;)
YOU DIDN’T MAKE IT !
You had to eat your own tail, and even that didn’t last long.
I would make a good mouse!
I don’t recall ahving a “holiday” rodent horror story, but I do know that when it gets cold they do start trying to come in the house.We have 3 cats and in the winter it is not unusual to wake up in the mornings and have found a “treat” the cats have proudly left for us to see!
haven’t had any to share
YOU MADE IT !

I unfortunately went quickly when I should have gone quietly.
After a winter of camp being closed my family and I were excited to go up memorial day weekend to reopen camp. After a long day of cleaning I couldn’t wait to start the grill. Seconds after I started the grill 2 mice came running fast from inside the grill. I guess I started their house on fire.
My results were – YOU MADE IT !

My horror story is that when we lived in our old house we discovered that we had a whole mice family & we caught 6 mice in two nights! They creep me out!
I survived the whole winter hooray!
I made it through!

I don’t have a Holiday story, but a rodent horror story would be mouse poop on the counter or in food!
It said “your rodent family lasted the whole winter”.
I didn’t make it past the first two questions.
I saw a bad fight happen at my ex’s relatives house with his dad.
I didn’t make it 🙁 Hey I tried!!
My rodent horror story isn’t of an actual rodent, but it’s definitely a vermin. We had made all of the traditional potato salads and deviled eggs and of course sprinkled some paprika on top. About halfway through our meal and after eating some potato salad and a deviled egg, I noticed something horrible wrong with the paprika. It was MOVING!! Somehow tiny little bugs had gotten into the paprika sprinkler and had been dyed red from being in it. They were perfectly camoflauged!! I had to tell everybody to stop eating. It was absolutely mortifying!!
I made it through the whole season! I guess I’d make a good mouse! haha Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
A couple of winters ago, we had a raccoon living in the roof of the house we were renting. We’d here it wake up in the middle of the night. We lost a lot of sleep and my poor son who was 2 at the time would get scared at the banging noises above him! Our landlord had someone come out to trap the raccoon. 3 raccoons later, we’re not sure we ever caught the right one! Not sure if the same one evaded being trapped or if as soon as we trapped one, another one went in. We didn’t want to seal up where they were getting in until we were sure the raccoon was out! Glad we moved into our new house last year and didn’t have to deal with that any more!!
I died when choosing wires and insulation to make a nest.
I don’t really have any rodent stories, but I did once open a bag and see a mouse.
Lasted the whole summer

My rodent horror story was just last year. We had found the box that had my great-grandmother’s nativity in it. We were excited to see it and it was given to me. Well, the pieces were made of a kind of plaster…which a family of mice had decided tasted wonderful. They chewed on every piece..except Jesus. They also peed on everything and the whole set stunk. There was no saving the barn. So, I carefully washed the pieces..crumbly little pieces..to get rid of the smell. And I asked a friend that is amazing at painting miniatures to help. He did an amazing job. The last couple pieces were beyond his help..but I grabbed a package of sharpie markers and colored the worst spots. It now smells like paint and was set up last year. Just perfect!!!
I didn’t make it – the food questions did me in each time! The fist questions, then I tried again and my scamper was too loud and I was caught again!!
My Rodent Family lasted the whole winter
Didn’t make it…I should stay a human it seems. My mice family would starve.
Our Christmas boxes are up in the attic which has no room to stand up -just a crawl space. I was up there getting some ornaments and there was a dead mouse…which to me is just as scary as a live one and I couldn’t get down the ladder fast enough.
I make the most awesome mouse. I made it through the winter! 🙂
I’m fortunate, no rodent story for me but… My best friends cat left a live mouse on her pillow while she was sleeping on it. Twice. She totally freaked…
My results were:
YOU MADE IT marnie!

My holiday horror rodent story happen one Christmas. A mouse chewed his way into a Christmas present and died. When my Niece opened the Christmas present she found a dead mouse.

I’m sorry I don’t really have a holiday rodent story to tell. We always keep traps out and don’t get many inside anymore.
Brady Quinn is the sharpest analyst of the four listed even including Meyer. Quinn is truly a quick study as a play unfolds and notes things that are predictors of its’ outcome. Unlike the rest, he’s also good at seeing precursors of plays as well as ‘counters’. Anytime he has been either in an interview or a play-by-play he brings the viewer to understand the game far better.coc gems
