We returned from our trip to DC only to find the mouse or mice that we thought we had rid ourselves of were still here – “when the cats away” is totally true. They chewed parchment paper, hot mitts and left plenty of droppings.

Craig did a thorough cleaning of the “food areas” Sunday and reset all the traps. Yesterday, he had caught one mouse and found 2 others licked clean. We hoped we had our pest. This morning, there was an expletive from the kitchen and once again we had 2 traps with the peanut butter licked clean and one missing trap. A search for the missing trap ensued. It was found far. back in cupboard without a mouse.
Lower cupboards are now all thoroughly cleaned and traps are once again set.
I can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow morning,
