well, I am impressed with how so many of you have tried to help me out, but in trying to save "thread space", I didn't list all the other things I have done to rememdy this issue, so I guess I will edit the original with this:

I am ALLERGIC to cats

I heard of someone who got a SNAKE which got up in the dash and they couldn't get it out, which leaves to all kinds of exciting Samuel Jackson scenarios.

I have traps all around the outside and inside... live in a rural area near creek and woods, so I could trap till eternity.

There are 2 huge Great Horned OWLS and several Red Tail HAWKS, COYOTES, wild FERRETS ( my favorite!! ) that live around here and they can't keep up with the rodentia.

and "Ldub"... you gotta good point, I haven't prayed enough over this! ( hmmmm, visions of Egyptian plagues running through my mind... )

so really my original question or request is does ANYONE KNOW HOW THEY ARE GETTING INTO THE VCROSS?
