We've been seeing a little mouse in our house occasionally, and we had
already tried setting the "regular" traps overnight with no success,
so we decided to get traps we could leave set 24/7 without worrying
about the boys touching them. We got some "mess free" mousetraps
which you may have seen on TV (or similar) which are set by pressing a
button. So, if they get accidentally hit, they merely unset. We also
got glue traps. Edwin informed Michael recently that the mouse was
going to come in and eat the cheese (peanut butter failed), leave the
snap-trap, and proceed over to the glue trap where it would get stuck.
We would then carefully remove the mouse from the sticky glue, and
wash it, because it would be dirty then.
This is all very amusing, especially since he actually saw the last
dead mouse we caught in August!
(We have not seen hide nor tail of the creature since we began setting traps.)
