Had to laugh. I got an email back from the sonic mouse chaser company....told me I needed to choose my mouse extermination methods......that was funny because the only reason I put the humane trap there was because I just jokingly wanted to see if the mouse would come back & if the high pitched sound really worked. Guess it takes 2-4 weeks to chase the mice out of the house with the sonic noisy thing.....but you would think that no mouse in it's right mind would come right up to the noisy thing, go into the humane trap & eat from it.......the noise at that range should keep the dang mice away no matter what......desparate little creatures.

Funny thing is that I threw some old stale pretzel/penut butter crackers out into a pot on my back deck.....they haven't even been touched.....all the little mice have to go is go out there & they could be fed for a year....lol.

I am thinking they might be getting the idea as I put peanut butter on the back of the trap so they would have to get caught.......rather than outsmarting the trap......there have been no signs of any mice for 2 days now.......will see.

I appreciate all of you who suggest my writing children stories.....I have a lot of fun writing about critters & things. Who would ever think that my technical writing from my engineering days would ever turn into something like this...lol. Maybe that was why the military liked what I wrote....because they could understand it. I was always told that your writing & presentations have to be aimed toward people who aren't at an engineering level. I was always tempted to throw in a little of "mary had a little lamb" into my documents just to see if they were reading it....lol.

Glad you enjoy reading my posts......these are much more fun to write than my grumbling ones...lol.

Thank you,
Debbie
