I usually don’t post two messages in the same day…..but….this one will require follow up and so…. I’ll just make it short introduction tonight!
I have a home office (which happens to be where I write my blogs from). This morning as I was checking my email, I heard a noise, that sounded like a plastic bag being rustled …..I thought it must just be from my heater vents blowing one of my Target bags around. When I turned around to look……I thought I saw a mouse. I did a double take….and guess what…..there was A MOUSE! Staring right at me! I freaked! I never realized how afraid of mice I am! So…….I ran to Target and picked up a few items to help me combat the little savage! (See picture below)
The box says the it contains a "Reusable Mouse Bait Station (W/Key)
Excuse me……Why does a mouse trap need a key? Just a side thought. If you think that I am going to catch a mouse…..open the coffin……remove the carcass….and reuse the coffin……you’ve got another thing coming……isn’t that why they are made of plastic and cost less than $5.00!
Just for the record, I chose the glue trap for my office! When I returned home from work……NO MOUSE! My friend Jeff suggested I place a pea-size amount of peanut butter in the center. (Note to self….the glue trap is sticky…..if your accidentally touch something on it….it is difficult to pull away and leaves a sticky substance on your fingers…..making it a little difficult to type. Hopefully the ladies at “Cutie Nails” have a magical Vietnamese remedy that can get it off tomorrow.)
Not sure what I will do when I catch the mouse! I can’t imagine picking up the glue trap. Anybody have any ideas?

3 ___Post a Comment Here! (I love comments!!!):
Amy, Amy...we have had our own battles with mice. The first was January 2002, when we brought little Addie home from the hospital. I had nightmares of the thing attacking her at night! I swear, each time we bring home a sweet bundle of joy an evil rodent decides to invade our home. Once, Bill and I saw one while watching a movie. Together, we tried to get the thing, but failed. The things are smart, I tell you! I insisted Bill call someone because I was sure, with how many deposits I found, we had an infestation (wrong, by the way...I was informed the dang things constantly relieve themselves). The last time we had a problem, we called an un-named former employer's exterminator guy. He told us the best weapon is the good old- fashioned wooden "snappy trap". He did admit peanut butter is good bait, as well. Oh the stories I could share...Good luck, my friend, and call if you need reinforcements!
Ame, ... I just posted and there was an error so If there turns out to be two posts, ... sorry!
Anyway, you need to call me with these issues, after moving into our house I was a full time exterminator for a time. I know what traps work and what to "bait" them with. I'm your girl to call!
Also, ... I've had a little experience with the sticky traps, ... like the time McKenna, who was 2 at the time stepped in one of the traps! That's kind of a weird thing to explain to a mother who entrusted you with her child for a "playdate". So, after a little research, I learned that rubbing a little vegetable oil on the affected area works like a charm!
