MOUSE in the house!

Mouse in my kitchen!!

Yikes!!

I need help!

:(

It is the most upsetting thing for a lady to discover a mouse in her kitchen!

Spiders, flies, bugs I can easily deal with , with a can of bug spray. You can see your results in a matter of seconds, with the tiny dead bodies at your feet...

And in some cases spiders and bugs can be swatted with a news paper or smashed under foot to bring about the desired end to their invasion! Messy - this - and I much prefer getting them with the spray and disposing of the body with a paper towel.

With house flies I have been known to spray them with whatever I had handy....and - when they are down (whatever the liquid was that brought them down) then you can get them easily with a wet paper towel and wrap the little body securely for the trash can. Or - if you are feeling overly kind on this particular day, you can set the little fly free out the back door!
I have been known to capture spiders in this way and set them free outside!
LOL- I can't recall setting flies free, though!

...But ... getting back to that mouse... He made his appearance late last night.

I, of course, went and told C. that I had just seen a mouse in the kitchen! He was snoozing in front of the TV- and the news didn't excite him all that much. He didn't move, in fact, nor say anything... except to suggest that maybe he could find a rat snake to bring in to catch the mouse! :) He's always very helpful!!

OK- You do what you have to... and around midnight I was locating and then baiting mouse traps to put behind the fridge... with plans to get some D-con early the next day!

NOT a happy way to have to end the night and get settled down for sleep!!
But I DID get to sleep!


Today the traps still sit where I put them - and undisturbed! We have also added some poison!

I keep wondering, too, just how many friends that mouse has with him!!
And how will I know when-IF- they have all departed these premises?

I hate this!!

LOL- NO! Charles didn't find a snake to get rid of the mouse! (But don't be too surprised....)

I sure wish I could have evidence of a dead mouse in one of the traps! I could convince myself it was just one lone intruder!!

Wish me luck! Cross yer fingers!!
