Now, the stereotype is that women are squeamish about rodents and men are not. However, I try not to pay too much attention to stereotypes!
Mice and rats completely freak me out!!! If I see one, I run the other way. If one of our cats brings a dead one into the house, my wife HAS to take care of it because I can't stand to be in the same room with it.
Yet, while such rodents are my bane, I seem to have no problems with the opossums, raccoons and deer that frequent our hill. Heck, I often go out to talk to them. Go figure. ; )
i am not squeamish about mice... i used to work for a pet store where i would handle mice and rats on a daily basis, plus i have to feed our 2 snakes... but i am not at all happy with the fact that one decided to make its nest in our house!
