I put out poison, but I went to town the other day and, while filling up, briefly saw the tell-TAIL evidence that he is still very much alive. No scat the last few days and he's avoided 2 glue traps, but I need to make sure he's made boarding arrangements elsewhere. ...and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

It was a PITA for her to have to move the ones in the driver's floorboard to drive...but after catching 4 mice...I'm confident we got 'em all. We tried just a few at first with no luck.

Consider switching from Dove when you shower or just cut some chips off and put them in your vehicle. Park over a bar and replace it from time to time.

Spend time with the ones you love. Time is not guaranteed.
