silent night

[This is not for the faint of heart]
I’ve mentioned, we have a mice problem- a few have snuck inside to winter in our pantry and under our kitchen sink. Disgusting, I realize, but we’re in good company as the topic of how to get rid of the mice comes up at neighborhood dinner parties and play dates.

I’ve caught a few this winter, and after a recent restocking of traps from the hardware store, excitedly rigged the pantry and sink cabinets with two traps each, expecting our kitchen to sound like the drum score of the William Tell Overture. No such drum score. It’s been many silent nights, since. Bummer. How disappointing to have caught them all.
