I am concluding that we’ll never be rid of mice entirely, but with the five live traps we ordered at specific areas where I could visually see mice activity, I have taken easily 30 mice out to the wild brush area well away from our house. One morning I saw what appeard to be a malformed critter but it turned out to be two ‘toddler’ mice sitting side by side and both tails were sticking out of the trap edge.
Yesterday afternoon I opened the cat gate to the kitchen and felt it scrape-drag and when I looked down I saw a young rat snake on the floor. He slithered behind a bookcase and I had to pull the whole, fully loaded thing out to get him. I put him into a large specimen aqauariam so Erik could see him before I released him/her too. I’m trying to determine why he was in the house unless he’d been eating pinkys and his supply has been curtailed…..........or, and this does concern me, there is a nest of them in here and that concerns me because of Lookachoo and FuzzyButt…........
