Autism vs the mice.....the sequel

So our last installment of Autism vs the Mice left us with the cliffhanger of Brandon wanting the mice dead and load testing various surfaces and J pleading for the lives of the unsuspecting mice.  You seriously can't make this stuff up.

I places the traps in various places where mice had been sighted around the house after loading them up with peanut butter and chocolate.  I was ready to catch me some mice.  The next day I checked the traps.  Nothing.  Seriously, there was not a mouse to be seen in any of them.  Ok, so maybe this would take a few days.  Well, it's been several days and so far no mice. 

So what's up?  Did I scare the mice away?  Were they so intimidated by my threatening, British made, mouse traps (we really are quite international here) that they immediately packed up and moved out?  Are they regrouping for round two?  I really think someone should write a book about mouse psychology.  I'd buy it, at least if it would help me catch the little turkeys.  

So, there ya have it.  The mice seem to have backed off but we are not sure if they have made a full retreat.  If anyone has any sage advice or can off any mouse whisperer services let me know.

  1. Beware! Those little stinkers are still there. Maybe. Or maybe not. Who knows?! We've invested in millions of types of traps- let us know how your fancy ones work!

  2. Believe me I would have preferred the snap ones that are strictly old school but I think that may have put Josh over the edge. I'm not sure he could deal with such a bloodthirsty mother. I'll keep you posted but so far no mouse sightings.
