Mouse Hunt

by delliott101 · Mar 10, 2003 · 299 views · Journal

I woke up the other night to a scraping sound... figured it was the neighbor or a tree branch against the house, but then I saw the evidence since then...

I got a mouse in the house...

NOW I gotta get rid of it...

UPDATE... March 13, 2003...

This must be one smart mouse. He licks the peanut butter off of the trap without setting it off. Why me?
UPDATE... March 15, 2003...

The mouse has been caught.. popcorn works!

yeah, there was a mouse in my room the other night. woke me up, it was all crawling around on the wires near the wall and under my desk. I didn't like that at all. I set some traps, but no luck yet.

this is the time they like to come inside cus it's cold. make sure you don't have a lot of boxes i.e. shoe boxes low to the ground because they like to make homes in them.

We still have some poison from the mice in our house, if you're interested in really getting rid of it.

Got some... I don't want to use it since the guy next door has a cat, but I gotta do it... I set it out earlier today...

The cat doesn't come on this side, but just in case the mouse goes there, don't want him all poisoned and the cat eats it...

Mice are SOOOOOOOOOO cute....don't hurt it! Catch it, have it neutered and put it in a cage, they make great adorable little pets!

Ben got two mice but instead of feeding them to his snake he named them and made them his pets for a while. Then he fed them to his snake.
