Mouse

Just noticed droppings. I am in Mexico & I have no idea if its a Canadian, American or Mexican mouse. I set a trap overnight and got one. How am I going to break it to my granddaughter that I murdered Speedy Gonzales? So far no other in the trap, so I am hoping it was a solo mouse and male.
  • Put peanut butter on those traps. Mice love peanut butter and the odour brings them to the trap. Hope you don't have any more.
  • Should have trained it to run in a wheel cage. Do away with the generator. :W
  • Why do you have to say ANYTHING to your granddaughter about it?

    Some things are better left unsaid.

    If asked, "he must of found another camper he liked better..."

    A teachable moment. Tell your granddaughter that it's a tough world out there and sometimes even a cute mouse has to pay. No accounting for the injustice. That's just the way it is.

    Doubt your granddaughter knows who speedy is
  • DO NOT FEEL BAD ABOUT IT!

    Mice are a scourge that will do tremendous damage to an RV if not exterminated! Do not let up your guard. Put out more snap traps and glue boards in cupboards just to be safe.
