Those pork chops are the best ting ever!
Okay, so we continue to have a wee little mouse problem in our garage. I am convinced that they are making their home in the bottom area of our washing machine. Some months ago, we hired an exterminator. That worked for a while, but it was basically sealing visible holes and setting regular old mousetraps. It became clear we needed something more effective.
Great-White-Mouse-Hunter-Poppy found these on the Internets:
The big deal with these is that you don't have to touch the part that gently makes the mouse go for the big sleep. You could almost set these with one hand...and they don't snap and scare the crap out of you when you're trying to put them on the ground. After they fall asleep, you just bend that top piece and mousy goes for a little ride into the composting bin.
Since Tuesday night, five of those little bastards have gone to sleepy land. This morning before I left for work, I checked the traps and there were two mice dead asleep...I was so excited, I ran upstairs and woke up the Great-White-Mouse-Hunter to tell her. Funny, she wasn't excited as I was. I'm wondering if we're getting that many because they've not seen this kind of trap before? We'll see.
Great-White-Hunter...I assumed this was some big white guy that hunted so I decided I should find out...hmmm, where can I look? THE INTERNETS!
White hunter is a term used for professional big game
hunters of European or North American backgrounds who plied their trade in
Africa, especially during the first half of the 20th century. The activity
continues in the dozen African countries which still permit big-game hunting,
but the "white hunter" is now known as the "professional hunter."
White hunters derived their income from organizing and leading safaris for
paying clients, or from the sale of ivory.
Figure it was the white guys that came up with this...
Done!
