Of Mice and Men, part 5

Reset the traps.

Catch 1 in the kitchen, 1 in the drop ceiling by basement bathroom, 2 in the drop ceiling above the train table.

Mouse total now 12!

By this time, I am so grossed out with mice.

The big draw back to live traps is cleaning them. Mouse pop smells awful when confinded to a small space such as a trap.

Remember a while back I mention our traps are semi-humane. If one doesn't take the mice to an appropriately far way park for release promptly, the mice soon get hungry again. I guess a glop of Skippy Extra Chunk doesn't last very long. With no more peanut butter they go after other things. Cramed in the Victor M313 the mice don't have many choices. I found two that they've tried. 1 each other and 2 a plastic bump inside the trap. Option 1 is very ugly to clean.

Combine that with finding the traps in the begining with dead mice and the one who tried to swim, what do you get?

Mice night mares.

It doesn't compare to 12, but we had A mouse in our kitchen a few weeks ago. It made my skin crawl knowing it was climbing all over my clean dishes. Good luck!
