No! We have not caught the mouse that has made a home in our condo.
Yesterday morning I was working on my computer in the kitchen and looked up to see a mouse standing right in front of me on the counter watching me type on my keyboard.
I gave a little shriek and it scuttled off across the stove and disappeared down its side.
Last night I was folding laundry in the bedroom and a mouse skittered across the floor and went under our dresser. Minutes later a mouse ran under Dave's feet in the kitchen where he was putting together a pan of lasagna.
We have now declared all-out war on the mouse/mice. Four kinds of traps have been set.
This one snaps the mouse in a vice grip.
This one offers it poison to eat and a slow death.
This one is a pad the mouse will hopefully get stuck to and die.
And this is a trap our friend Bill suggested. A chocolate cookie at the bottom of the pail is supposed to lure the mouse down the cut-off sleeve of one of Dave's old shirts into the pail and then he won't be able to get out.
There are two traps of each kind in the condo now.
If the mouse isn't captured in any of them I guess we have a pretty smart and resourceful mouse on our hands!
We might never get rid of it.
