I'm sad, and happy to report that we have caught one mouse in the kitchen so far. Happy because....well no one wants a side of mouse poop with their dinner.....and sad because we had to break down and buy glue traps. I had a claw trap out with peanut butter in it and the little buggers licked all the peanut butter out but did not set off the trap!! I HATE glue traps because the mice are not killed instantly. The sweet little guy we caught last night was still valiantly trying to free himself this morning. I hated to see him suffering, but what else can we do?
On a nicer note - we ate dinner outside and a beautiful little dove sat on the edge of our roof and watched us eating the whole time. She was beautiful:)
Sorry you're having mousey problems. Living near a neighbor with some issues with outdoor clutter and across from a wildlife area we tend to have some mice in our garage every once in a while. For snap traps we mix the peanut-butter with bird seed and they can't just lick it off anymore... works really well for us.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there is something else??? Those buggers are so sly though...
ReplyDeletea cat. although, they tend to want to bring the mice inside to play with, so you have to watch out for that.
