MOUSE 2 - ME 0

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.





Round two goes to the mouse.

  1. I like that you're still referring to your opposition in singular form...as though those things don't breed.

    Oh 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.
