Several months ago we saw a mouse in our garage and so I bought a couple of traps at the local hardware store and went to work. A friend said peanut butter was the best bait, so I went with that. I layed out the traps that night and in the morning I had two fresh kills. So I put the traps out again and cought two more. I reset the traps again but that was it. I killed the whole family of four that must've been living rent-free for months based on the amount of mouse terds I eventually found.
A few days later I was in the basement and swear I saw a mouse, so I set my trusty traps in the basement and had no luck. I must've been seeing things...but I left the traps down there for good measure.
Last weekend I was down in the basement again and checked the traps (as I have been doing every time I am in the basement. One more fresh kill, but that's it; just one.
Yesterday wifey opened the drawer under our stove and saw a million mouse terds; we had more rent-free visitors...So I went to work. I moved my two traps from the basement to the drawer, with the peanut butter bait. Unlike in the garage and basement, we can HEAR the traps snapping in the kitchen. Withing five mins, I heard the trap...SNAP. Of course, I felt horrible for being a murderer, but I just can't accept all the mouse shit in the kitchen or maybe we could've been friends.
So last night we caught two, then I reset the traps this morning, and caught two more, reset them and caught another one a few minutes ago to take the grand total in the past 24 hrs to 5, and grand total YTD to 10! This is getting ridiculous...As I am typing, I think I just heard the SNAP again...
Stay tuned.
