Mouse

I can hear a mouse somewhere  chewing on something. I'm surprised because I haven't seen any mice in almost a month. This was a really bad year for mice for everybody, up here and in town. They seemed to be more prolific and hungry than usual. 

I usually use live traps but we did resort to putting out some locally manufactured mouse bars as well. They worked well but didn't completely solve the problem. Nothing like pulling on a pair of shoes to find them full of something that a little mouse stashed away for later.
