There's a critter in my walls...

...and I really don't want to share my space with it.

What's irritating is that it is the wall by my computer desk and I can hear it scurrying around while working. We had the same problem around this time last year and had someone come in and put poison around the house and in the attic, where he found a small colony of bats, too.  I can't tell you how much the thought of bats in my house creeps me out.  When I was in college, I  had one come out of my closet and land on my arm while I was talking on the phone.  Nope. I don't like bats. At least, not when they make surprise appearances on my arm.

I'm pretty sure my wall critter is a  mouse, because that is what the pest control guy told us last time and it is in the same location.

But the thing makes enough noise to be a raccoon, and I wonder how it can just be a small little critter with all that ruckus. I guess mice are kind of like kids in that respect.
