Mouse Patrol

One of the "joys" of country living is that when it gets cold outside, mice come out of the fields and seek the warmth of houses. It really has nothing to do with house keeping and everything to do with country living. I can usually catch them around the furnace chimney, the warmest area in the house. Fall time means setting and checking traps. Today I got the first mouse of 2014. And where there is one, there is another.

I don't like using poison because it can get tracked around. I don't want poison all over the house with pets and kids in the house. Instead, I use expensive trap houses. I have tried many different kinds of traps but these work the best.
