The Suspected Is Confirmed!!

Last night I thought there may be a mouse in my house. Tonight I confirmed it!! Well, there's one less now than there was earlier... however, that is not the end. Just a few minutes ago I saw another one climbing around on the trap that got the first one. The second one so far walked away without a scratch (unlike the first one). The trap is still set and I'm wondering why it didn't go off. It sure was 'hair trigger' enough when I set it and had to put it in place without getting my fingers snapped. Oh well, perhaps there'll be a mouse in there by morning, and if not I'll .... no, I'll not wait 'til tomorrow to go to Plan B. In the bathroom cupboard I have another kind of trap where if they walk on it they get stuck to it. I couldn't use this type when I had a cat, but I can now. I've lived in this place nearly 18 years now. Every spring and fall I find is the worst time for mice coming in and causing problems. In all those years this will be the first time I don't have a cat to help me with this problem... I'm on my own. Oh well, I am up to the challenge!!!

Im not in agreeance with being cruel to animals, even mice, the way i see it is everything has a right to live, i sometimes get mice myself and i just use a humane mousetrap that catches them without hurting them, then you just let them go about a mile away from your house, believe me you will feel better in yourself, im a firm believer that if you do bad things then bad things will happen back to you, if you do good things then good things will happen, give it a try, regards, mick..
