Well, I wasn't out of burr range this weekend... had the hooky part of one blow into my eye and lodge itself under my eyelid... trip to a country hospital where they couldn't find it, then a trip into the city where they did find it (after having to drive with my right eye shut) left me with some superficial scratches on my cornea... so I'm down an eye for a few days. Driving in the province's first real snow with one eye shut on the highway (who needs depth perception) is a real treat. They wouldn't give me an eye patch... I may have to go and get one just to look awesome. Bren R.

Holy #$@^%$#!!
Now that the weather is colder I am putting down more "kill" traps, but I figured I would keep the live traps going and try out the recommendation about releasing mice near the house and watching how they get back in.
Small mouse, relatively young. I open the back door, walk to the end of the porch, slide the lid open and let it jump out into the grass.
FIVE SECONDS LATER it was back in the house again. Scampered up the wall to a small gap between the trim and the foundation, and disappeared into the wall. A bigger question is "why can it get into the wall ?" but I imagine there was some chewing by a previous generation of mice involved.
Anyways, I've never seen anything like it. The darned thing made a beeline for the hole like it was on a string. Needless to say there is a lot of steel wool in the gap now. Wish I had filmed it though... even Snake Pliskin would have been impressed.

OK refresh my memory, Snake was from Escape from New York(classic 'B' movie) and the sequeal Escape from L.A. How does the mouse bee lining to the hole relate.

I think it is now the mouse in the trap.

Bridgeman is killing mice. Bren nearly shot his eyeball off and a mouse ran through a hole.
What is there to not get?
