We are currently sharing our house-----with a mouse! It's a busy little creature. We see it mostly in the evenings, scurrying along the baseboards from one "safe place" to the next--a bit of furniture, a hot water radiator--disappearing somewhere, maybe into a hole in the wall----a little grey shadow, looking for the dark edges of the rooms. Sometimes downstairs, sometimes upstairs.
It seems extraordinarily able to elude capture in a trap. I've positioned traps along its preferred pathways and even baited them with cheddar, but so far no luck. I really, really hope that it's not a Mama Mouse with a nest of babies somewhere. But what else can explain the creature's uncanny ability to survive?
