So... in the last week I've had to fish 3 mice out of my pool....

One of them I "rescued" as it was still alive and swimming for dear life, and could barely walk when I put him out in the woods. Poor thing..

I think they're coming to my 'oasis' for beverage refreshment and falling in! The first two werent so lucky and went to the mousey heaven in the sky.

Anyone got any tips in keeping them out of my pool? We have a solar cover, but that doesnt seem to help, as they still get to the water. And dont say mouse traps either LMAO. I can only imagine a big ol' squirrell getting his tail caught in one...
