Hi All,

a few years ago we had a black water pipe fail and
our crawl space turned into "Lake Poopoo Caca".
So now I occasionally check under the crawl space
to see if everything is dry.

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

1) Do I care?

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

3) Do they eat Black Widows?

Your thoughts on the matter?

Many thanks,

The last time I had a mouse at the house I put out a couple of mouse traps with peanut butter on the trigger. When I checked the traps, the peanut butter was gone. The little smartass rodent had licked it off the trigger without setting off the trap. I got the little ******* by putting the peanut butter on the bottom side of the trigger. I found him/her in a trap the next day and didn't see any further evidence of more mice such as droppings or chewed up bread bags. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Great tip. Thank you!

One time at a hotel when I was on temporary duty,
the mice would run like hell behind the TV. So
I just line up a few traps in a row. They raced,
got snapped and flew about ten feet. They must have
been traveling pretty fast!

What??? Okay, yes it was funny as hell.
