This is also known as "There's a Mouse in My Kitchen And I Am Going Insane".As the air has gotten colder and "mouse season" began I noticed a few sparse droppings here and there on my kitchen counters. I quickly gagged and sterilized, then set out one enclosed safety trap baited with mouse crack(peanut butter). I was looking for a quick, clean, and deadly end for the mouse. Surely a buffet in heaven is a much better place than my kitchen.
I went to bed trusting that by morning my rodent issue would be gone. Boy was I wrong. This is no ordinary mouse, oh no. Hes a highly intelligent super monster from hell who has no interest in meeting his Heavenly Father.
The next morning there wasn't a mouse in the trap, and now there were droppings in my dish drainer. So I again sterilized the kitchen, and set to repositioning my trap and adding an additional one. The next day he pooped right next to one of my traps! All like "Yeah, I will pass on that one."
My husband considerately went out and purchased about 10 sticky traps, thinking there was no need to spill rodent guts in our kitchen. I mean, who wants that? Whats worse than mouse guts on your counter-tops? Oh I know, its mouse droppings! Apparently my husband was wrong about not needing snap traps because this mouse can hover in the air. Despite nearly carpeting my kitchen counters in sticky traps, this creature still managed to get to my dish drainer.
After that I tried the old reliable trick of sprinkling moth balls around the exterior of the house to ward off rodents, but I think the only thing that did was give him an incentive to NOT exit the building.
My husband is theorizing that the sticky pads just aren't sticky enough. So today I ran to Home Depot with the kids and picked up about $40 worth of mouse elimination artillery. I WILL have this mouse.
