A long time ago when a deer mouse raided our pantry, we promptly bought a live mouse trap, caught it, and disposed of it. That was easy. Now we have a new invader, with the ability to wreck havoc in our garage. Let me demonstrate the casualties of this war declared on us by the evil fiend.
One of my favorite (and only) sneakers, fallen…
Filter for the heater vent, recently purchased, destroyed.
Even both of our cars suffered some damage as it chewed its way through the wiper fluid hoses, such as that shown at the upper-left side of the following image:
Enough is enough. I’ve decided to fight back, Tom & Jerry style:
Yes the trap is big. Yes, it can probably snap my finger in half. Hopefully the fragrance of the peanut butter will be enough to lure the foul beast, and put an end to all the terror it has bestowed upon this household!
Remember wild rodents are not good pets 🙂
After destroying several of my favorite properties, including the only two pairs of shoes I wear on a regular basis (just found out the one I was wearing today to work was missing a piece of leather), domesticating this rodent is the last thing on my mind. 🙂
did you end up catching anything? Pictures not required.
