Well, I have been battling with a mouse now for about 6 months and he finally lost the battle. We started noticing the usual mouse signs around the kitchen. We weren't very amused. So I stopped by the local WalMart and purchased several standard mouse traps. I am a lover of all creatures and I would have preferred buying the "mouse cubes" that don't kill the little beasts, but my wife insisted on the old school snap traps. So that night I throw some peanut butter on them and set a few up around the kitchen. The next morning we found all traps, still set, but completely licked clean. So that night, I set up four traps in a cross pattern all facing eachother, thinking that the little fucker would get nailed by one of them at least. Again, the next morning they were all licked clean. So I go back to WalMart and purchase some of the "mouse cubes". I set four of them up in the kitchen and bait them with peanut butter on crackers. Again, the next morning, all traps were void of food and no mouse was captured. How he evaded the cubes is beyond me. Anyways, this continued for about a week until finally, one morning, low and behold, I got the little bastard. But upon closer inspection, I realized that this was no typical mouse. It looked strange. The eyes were way too big and the back legs were way too pronounced for an ordinary mouse. The wifey hopped on the web and we soon learned that we had a kangaroo mouse, which is not native where we live. So we assumed it was an escaped pet. I felt a little bad for the little guy, so I drove about a mile away from my house and let him go. Three weeks later we again found droppings and such around the kitchen. Again, I set the cube traps and again I caught the same damn mouse! That fucker trekked the mile back to our house and got back to business again. So this time I drove twice as far, ~2 miles, and let him go. Everything was fine for a couple months. Then, just a week ago, we started to find droppings again. I had since tossed all the traps, so I was planning to hit up WalMart again for some more this weekend. Well, last night I decided to do some cleaning around the house. I left some soapy water in one of the sinks. Apparently, during the night, the little guy decided to take bath in the sudsy water, only, he couldn't get back out and apparently sucked in a little too much water. So this morning, as I went to cook up some eggs, I found the little dude floating around in the sink. So the battle is over. I hope you enjoyed my story.
