A little visitor..

.. which isn't really welcome in our new home, but made him/herself feel welcome while we went to visit my family. On Wednesday when I went down to look for something in my storage room, I found mouse turds in my baking pan.. ugggghh! GROSS :S

Anyway, I never thought anything of it because I didn't hear or see anything else. So today I mentioned it to John, and we decided to do something about it, because the house smelled a little funny, much to my dismay! So we set two traps, and put out some bait, and what would you know? Well we get home to night, and lo and behold, we caught a little friend in a trap in the garage. Hopefully that takes care of things, but for now the traps are still out and I guess that means I'm cleaning anything that might have been touched by a mouse ugh.

So that is about all the excitement for the day!

Mouse in the House?

YUP! Last night I was sitting on the couch when I heard something on the laminate flooring in the diningroom so I looked over and there was a mouse running on the floor towards the livingroom. He looked like he was going to head over to the bedrooms so I stomped on the floor which promptly scared him, so he ran back to the curtain and was hiding under that.. I closed all the doors and put towels in front of the crack so that at least it wouldn't be the easiest place for mousy to go.. then went to look.. he ran underneath the fridge, so I moved that and the stove but couldn't figure out where he had disappeared to.. so whatever that was that!

This morning I went to buy some bait and then put that out.. John went to ACE this afternoon and decided that he wanted to get traps because while I was at home I had seen it run from the bathroom to our bedroom and then to the bathroom and to the bedroom again.. later when I went to the bedroom I saw it run from under our bed into the closet.. hmmm so out went the traps with some almond butter on them.. and then tonight while Evert and I were gone about 10 minutes before we got home off went the trap by the fridge(there was also one in our room) and yup we had sucessfully caught our mouse!
