The saga continues on the mice of ICS. As I reported earlier, I put out traps and caught three mice. On Monday, while writing up a ticket for a customer he said "hey, there is a mouse running down your hallway that came from the kitchen." I thought I was done with mice. Anyway that night I moved one of my traps in the warehouse to the kitchen; just under the cabinets. Just seeing what I might catch there. Tuesday morning, as I worked at my front desk I could hear squealing. I figured it was the mice in the walls and kept doing what I was. My part time kid Andrew came into the office and heard the squealing too. He said I think you caught a mouse and its still alive. I figured I better check the trap under the cabinet. We went into the kitchen to see the mouse trap gone but could still hear the squealing. This is where it get good.
We followed the sound and found that not one but two mice have been caught on the sticky trap. One of them had gotten there tails stuck to the pad and ran with the trap, got to the closet and couldn't get to its hole, then another mouse came to help or something and got its tail stuck on the trap. So they both where stuck by the tails. They moved around so much they got our dust brush caught on the trap. So it was stuck too! We picked the brush up and along came the two mice and the trap. Andy told me to kill them but I had no idea how too. I have had all the mice dye on the pad or in a trap, I have never had them alive. So I took the brush and accessories and just throw them in the garbage out side.
I didn't know what to do. I thought about drowning them, but thought too cruel, thought about dropping a brick we have on them but too much of a mess. So I just threw them away. But that is now 6 mice in less then two weeks. I am down to one trap out of 6 and looks like I need more. Just like the customer said "if you catch 6, there are 6 more out there." I just have to say Bring It!!!
