(That would be a mouse stuck to the FLOOR of our downstairs pantry!)
My housekeeper tried to get the mouse un-stuck so she could throw it away...poor little guy. You could hear him squeak and it almost made me sad for him! He was a BIG monkey!! He was so stuck, and struggling so hard to get free, that by the time I saw him, all his fur had been ripped off by the sticky stuff on the floor. Yes, it was super gross! But, hey, it works!
This was the fourth mouse we had caught in two days...one Devin caught INSIDE of a FULL box of whole wheat spaghetti (so sad, as it was a 10 pound box of it...), but when he took it outside to dispose of it, he and the guard were not fast enough and it jumped out and ran away--toward the Algerian embassy across the street! He he he... The other was the one Devin caught on the floor and ended up smashing with cardboard and looking at it with the guard. Before we caught this one stuck to the floor, Devin caught another one as it was running across the counter! He somehow trapped it, then used the sticky mousetrap and smashed it on top of the mouse to make him stick to it! He was so proud of himself! (I was still half asleep as it was around 5:30am.) Then this one makes four. I think there are still a few floating around, but they seem to be a little more on their guard, I think. They were just getting too bold and they paid the price! We will triumph!!! No more mice allowed in the pasta!!!
