Default mouse in crawlspace

Well, this time I saw some movement. A mouse.

1) Do I care?


yes. they can chew on things you don't
want chewed on. and they pee/poo stinky.

if you can seal up the underside of the
house to prevent them from getting from
the crawlspace into the house that is a
good step at preventing problems too (i
did that here when they were getting in
the walls and also showing up underneath
and so far none have made it into the
house itself other than via old boxes or
bags). the walls are now sealed up too.
a big help.

i wish i could seal up my car too...


2) I know where he got in, just seal it up at night
when he is out foraging?


set trap outside the hole to make sure
you get them.

rake the ground smooth to see if any new
tracks appear (if you have sand).


3) Do they eat Black Widows?


no idea.


Your thoughts on the matter?


get them ASAP. plug the holes. keep an
eye on things.
