So I've been fighting a mousie in my apartment. This is number 3. I figured out where his 2nd home is and I decided to booby-trap it. I put a glue-trap (They've been working for me up until now. I don't trust the spring traps to catch them all the time) right outside his home with a chicken bone.

I'll get the little pisser.

So I turned off the lights in the kitchen and waited for it to get dark.

I'm sitting at the computer and I hear a noise. I look down the hall and there a fucking mousie running down the hall into the living rooms carrying a god damn chicken bone in his mouth! What a little fucker! He took the whole bone from the OTHER SIDE of the trap and carried it behind my heater in the living room. I'm so pissed!

Maybe if you put your fancy microsoft mouse next to the glue trap, it'll come and try to mate.
