As you all know Chris is out of town until next weekend. So Friday night I was enjoying a quite evening at home catching up on some TV shows I recorded from the week. All of the sudden out of the corner of my eye, I see something. Not knowing what it was, I get up to investigate. I'm slowly walking into the kitchen and turning on the lights....I don't see anything. Then I walk further into the kitchen and around one of the corners was a little mouse, just sitting staring at me! At this point, I have no idea what to do, I'm shaking so bad I can't think and my pulse was about to jump out of my throat. Before I could react it ran right in between our cabinets and our stove!
Of course freaked out, I immediately called Jennifer and Kevin and wanted Kevin to come over to move the stove and see where it may have gone. They get to the house, we move the stove, and of course....there's a hole! Not really being able to do anything, I calmed down (after awhile) and retired back to the couch.
The next morning, my dad called me and said he was on his way over to help set some traps. Thank God for my dad!! Once my dad came over and started to try to find out where they were coming from (and I say they because there's never just ONE mouse), we thought no other place then the basement. Sure enough, he found their home! We have a bathroom in our basement and along the wall are cabinets that lead into a storage like area. It's dirty, dark, and gross... and for that reason it obviously doesn't get used (hoping to change that one day). So not wanting to disturb anything yet, he set the traps.
If anyone has any other suggestions to get our little furry friends out, PLEASE let me know (Melissa?? :-) Keep your fingers crossed that I catch something!

Trap in the corner of the kitchen
In between the stove and the cabinets
Creepy, gross, cabinet area in the basement: this is what we think is their home
Trap right underneath the 'nest'

OH CREEPY...I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW BAD YOU FREAKED OUT...I'VE SEEN YOU WITH SPIDERS :-) DON'T WORRY, I AM SURE THE TRAPS WILL CATCH THEM.
Gross! I hope those critters go back outside where they belong. Bella still says she'll help "Swoosh" them out with her broom.
Do you want me to bring one of the cats over to catch them?
You're right, there's never just one of those nasty little guys! I had one in my kitchen once, right after I'd sanitized it! The never of those things! Time to teach Zoe mouse hunting!!!
Eww! I HATE mice!! We searched the house for any small holes that could be where they were getting in and sealed them. But mainly we just use the traps (w/ peanut butter, no cracker though b/c I fed a mouse one time many crackers w/ peanut butter that it figure out how to move off the trap) The mean traps! Like you said there is probably not just one, so keep traps out. I'd call your dad, or Kevin for the removal process! :-) Or I can send Tim over! Don't you hate that everything happens when it's just you in the house! I completely understand that! Good Luck!
