A couple of days ago, I was in the kitchen doing something or other and looked up to see a mouse running down the hall toward my bedroom. I had mice in this house when I moved in and called Tony to find where they were coming in and get rid of them. He did.
He found a hole in the heater closet in the ceiling--they were goin into the attic and coming down through the studs in the wall to the inside. Tony fixed it. Closed off the entry points, sealed up everything--no more mice.
Only thing I can think of is that I left the garage door to the house open for a minute when I went into the garage to get something from the freezer. And a mouse took advantage of the opportunity.
So, I set traps. Nothing for two days. Not even any evidence of mice anywhere. And then, last night as I was getting ready for bed, I happened to glance into the bath tub and a very small little mouse was looking up at me. He had probably fallen off the bath platform ledge--but how he got up to the ledge is a mystery. You could tell he was exhausted from trying to climb up the slick sides of the tub to get out.
It took a bit of time, every time I almost grabbed him he would jump up in the air. But I finally got him and took him outside where he belonged. He said, "Thank you. You are a very kind lady." I said, "Don't come back."
