A Second Visitor...

After our fight with the black widows, we thought we were good for a while. Well think again. A couple days ago my roommate pulls out her bread to see the whole side of it chewed off. Really? That can only be a mouse. I get down on my hands and knees and start scouting out a mouse hole or something and sure enough, I find a ton of droppings. They were even in the air vents on the floor. So we go out and buy some traps, load them up with peanut butter, and I expect to catch him. The next morning we get up to see the traps set off and the peanut butter gone but nothing there. That jerk set the trap off and stole the peanut butter. What's worse is he actually broke a trap. The staples that hold the snapping part on have popped out. Are you kidding? We try round two, and still nothing. I am not about to be out smarted by a stupid mouse. Except I am out of options and it looks like I'm gonna be buying a sticky trap and gonna just have to throw the whole thing away and just hope he's dead by the time I get to him. Great.... I'm scared of what will be next.

  1. You need a cat! A NON LAZY cat unlike my two. Thing has been living in my pantry and front closet since early July, and Maggie and Peanut routinely ignore him...

  2. My roommate has a dog and the mouse isn't phased. Too bad she's allergic to cats or I would have one.
