Four Blind Mice,
Four Blind Mice,
See how they run,
See how they run,
I put the bait in the Victor trap,
And I hear them go clackity clack clack,
Four Dead Mice,
Four Dead Mice.
It seems that 'Jake the snake' that lives in my garage (and my basement) has NOT been doing his job. I was cleaning more boxes out of the garage and in doing so, ran a live mouse out of one of them. He scurried none other than BACK into the garage. So I declared war on him (them). I also noticed that day that they had eaten a corner of the cardboard covering the gas tank just above the rocker on the driver's side. Messin with
Ole Booger is like goin from preachin to meddlin. I didn't want to use poison because then I'd have dead mice who knows where.
I bought 4 plain ole Victor traps and set them out the first day. It seems 3 of the 4 were just apetizers for them. They licked them clean without springing them. One of them however did SOME good (I think). I got up the next morning and could only find three traps. The fourth one either caught a mouse by the tail or Jake got a hold of it. One of them drug it off somewhere.
Today, however, I put them out again and got 3 for 3 in the traps I set. One on the workbench, one on the floor, and one in the cab of Ole Booger under the seat. I disposed of those when I got home and re-baited them before I left for the evening. I got one more from the one on the floor when I got home this evening. YES, I'm a killin machine now. Once I get them all outta here, I plan on keeping them baited and around the three places. They ain't welcome in my garage with Ole Booger.
