mice on bed?

Post by newname » Tue Mar 02, 2010 10:08 am

Can mice climb up on the cpap hose and get on the bed? I'm afraid of this happening.

How many cats do you have? I assume they play on your bed.

I have 2 but it is this one who runs over my legs playing with her "rodents" - she is young and lived in shelter 6 1/2 months before we got her so she never had opportunity to play - this isn't the latest picture - she is a lot fatter now

You realize of course, this borders on paranoia?

Get an exterminator.

I'm going out on a limb here and will assume you're serious...

If a mouse wants to be up on your bed, he/she certainly doesn't need a CPAP hose to get there. But, unless you store food on your bed, there's really no motivation to make the climb by whatever means.

(I think I'd rather have a mouse on the bed than a cat. Cats lay on your legs and suck the heat outta ya!)

My wife, who is artistic, painted my hose to look like a rattlesnake. That solved the problem.

Unfortunately, one night I used a new hose that had not been painted. The next morning I notice my panty hose had been destroyed by mice who had nibbled on them.

With CPAP, you have to cover all the bases.

I agree if a mouse wants to get on your bed it dosen't need the cpap hose to get up there. Have you tried traps?

I think I would be more paranoid of one crawling INSIDE the hose than being on my bed... But I'm still haunted by that post someone made about some weird spider or bug crawling inside their hose and rattling around against their face when they turned the machine on...

The only mouse I ever had on my bed pillow was a dead one delivered as a gift from my loving cat.

Ooops, I posted the wrong ladies tights photo (Bruce is going to kill me).

Here is how Rested Gal engineered ladies tights to stabilize nasal pillow masks:

I got a "live bat" for a birthday present one year but it didn't make the bed just came into the bedroom in the cat's mouth. It was the only birthday present I got that year (except being taken out to dinner).

I knew I didn't need to be prepared for a power outage. All this talk of battery backup is well .......... just talk.
