I was doing a bit of spring cleaning last week and was ambitious enough to tackle reorganizing the pantry/food storage room downstairs. I picked up a five pound bag of chocolate chips only to discover about two thirds of it gone. Behind the bag was a rather nasty little mound of mouse poop. I was not happy.
Round one goes to the mouse.
I threw out the bag, cleaned and disinfected the shelf, and set a mouse trap. A couple of days later I went down to check the trap. This is what I found.
I like that you're still referring to your opposition in singular form...as though those things don't breed.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, have I been there...and I do not envy the games you now must play. And bummer on their stolen food of choice! We lost a bag of wholemeal flour to a "mouse" (/scoffing at implication these creatures hang on by themselves), and I was pretty cut up. But chocolate chips!? E-gads! That's way worse.
OH God not the Chocolate!!!!!!! I have traps, let me know if you want em

ReplyDeleteThose would be pears Darlene.
ReplyDeleteapparently it's a myth that mice like cheese - I've heard they ACTUALLY like dried fruit.
ReplyDeleteWell apparently, they really, really like chocolate.
