Late evening to all the peoples.......

CM, all.

 

[churchmouse]

Just doing a cruise through to catch up.
Spent some time helping CKW pull all the food from the pantry. Seems we have mice. There was some damage but could have been worse. She is Pissed off. I laid out the baited glue traps in strategic areas where they would run. Tomorrow I will check and see where they are getting in. Its usually where the A/C lines go through the wall. If they dug through the foam, I will address this more aggressively.

I might dig up the "Band of Brothers series and re-watch it.

Seems like they visit us at about the same time every year. Glue traps are my favorite, but this last booger actually chewed his way out of one on the first attempt. He was not so fortunate on his second try. I still haven't found where they are getting in.

Evening CM, ancjr.
I battled mice last spring it took awhile to get rid of them but in the end a combo of glue traps and poison slayed them all. It also caused me to empty my pantry and toss quite a bit of stuff. I hate those mices to pieces.

Same here. I love pitching them in the trash while they are still breathing and no I do not torture people's cats.

Time for me to hit the sack.

We are taking the perishables out of the pantry and putting the canned/glass items in there. The perishables will go in the locking cabinet that now holds the canned goods. We keep a lot of food on hand...

Mom would toss them in the wood stove and laugh.

I had a good old spring trap that I got 22 with in one year down in the basement, and yup the wood stove is a good way to dispose of them. Since we got adopted by the cats my trap is rusting. The secret to them really being effective is to tie a loop of string through the bait pad and then smear on the peanut butter, the greedy little bastards get carried away pulling on the string
