It's War: Tristan vs. Mickey

So you know my post from a while back about the mouse... update, we still have not caught it. We have had traps out for weeks but so far no luck. We do know that we still have it as we have had several sightings (it really likes my roomie Emily's room) and it leaves disgusting evidence on our stove top. Finally Tristan decided she has had enough. So last night we tried to set up snap traps (we had been informed that sticky traps are inhumane and ineffective.) That was a disaster. They were not easy to set up as they snapped and flung our bait everywhere. Needless to say it proved to be incredibly stressful and we didn't catch Mickey. Tristan came home tonight with a new plan in mind.



Hopefully this will do the trick. Especially because I had just had a sighting of the nasty little monster while getting ready to take the pic. It is definitely feeding off around the stove. I can't wait til we catch the damn thing. (Okay normally I don't swear on this, but I haven't had sleep for weeks because of this critter and now I won't sleep tonight because I have to keep watch that it won't enter my room.) UUGGHHHHH!!! (When I create my own world there will be no mice or pickles.)

Score: Mickey 1 Tristan 0 (only so far!)

Leave peanut butter on the snap traps to get the little bugger! That's what we had to do when we lived at Rick and Tiffany's house.
