Asking a hardware store employee for "Fox Urine" and a large vat of "Muriatic Acid", is a tad embarrassing to say the least. (It is an odd combo. . .would you like a taco with that?)

Add this to the vision of me gimping around, looking like a bent up question mark, juiced up on muscle relaxers that are ineffective, and hobbling around on blisters from wearing a very non utilitarian pair of shoes. (Which have since been put up on Ebay because of angst caused.) I got some weird looks.

The Fox Urine is a repellent for mice. I wanted to get some "just in case" for the other properties, but there was no one who had even heard of it in this rural community~ you would think that they would have it, because we are RURAL. All that was available were poisons and traps. I just want to repel, and I want to do it in a non poisonous way. I did see a bottle of something that was a repellent, but it said not to drink alcohol for twenty four hours after application. Which, although, I am not really a drinker, did scare me. I felt like I was in the skit from Kid's In The Hall, "Don't rub salt in your eye", with the guy who kept rubbing salt in his cornea, even though it burned. I may need to drink after the application of the repellent, just to be a rebel.


I've heard of Bounce sheets, peppermint essential oil etc. Yet the Fox Pee sounded sooooo divinely intriguing, and I think I will have to order it over the Internet.
