we're sitting there on the couch and all a sudden she pulls her legs up onto the couch. she tells me she just saw something fall down behind the TV... it looked like a mouse.
so i get up and look behind the tv and sure enough there IS a mouse there.
fuck.
so i get some gloves on to try to catch the thing, and sarah stands on the couch watching. i scare it out from behind the tv, but the fucker is fast... and runs off, to i don'tknow were. sarah wasn't watching!
so i track it down to the entertainment nook and find it under a table. it runs behind the bookcase. so i move the bookcase and it runs back behind the table and behind another couch.
while i'm working on one side it runs into the kitchen and into my wood pile. i go over to the wood pile ad it runs under the fridge.
FUCK! what can we do now?
so i go out and buy trpas. not the humane traps mind you. but the normal SNAP! traps. im sorry. i don't like killing living creatures (cept spiders, which i ALSO had to kill a big on that night... it was a bad night for the animal kingdom in my house) but i've seen te glue trpas NOT work so often and i don't want thie mouse coming back.
so i buy 4 traps and load them with p-nut butter and try to set them without getting my fingers broken.
saturday the traps were still empty. oh well. i figure that the mouse just came in friday night... cuz we haven't seen any traces of mice in the house before. so maybe he just left too.
then sat night i'm sitting there playing "grand theft auto 3" for the PS2 and i here a SNAP! in the kitchen.
there you have it. sadly the issue is resolved. but i'm leaving the three other traps out there for a few more days just to make sure there wasn't a family of them.
now i'm going to go tear apart the kitchen and see if he had been in any of my food.
