The battle of the kitchen!
The battle over the kitchen. It was a long battle against the mischievous Mr. Crumbs the mouse. But the battle is over now…... wait. let me give you some backstory first.
I just moved into my new house. I loved it! After a year it finally started to feel like home, little did I know I wasn’t the only one who had the same feeling. It started off small like crumbs here and there, I figure my wife was just sneaking pastries\cookies in the kitchen in the middle of the night. Soon after I noticed a hole in my loaf of bread! I was enraged! I had to throw the loaf away and was left sandwich-less! The following day I bought a new loaf and sticky traps, placing them at all the places where the mouse would have to travel to feast on my loaf… two days passed but, he was clever and went through my traps and made it to my loaf once again. Then all was quiet for a week or so, not so much as a crumb. I figured I had won the battle
I woke up to screaming!! I ran to the kitchen with my wooden bat in hand ready to defend my wife! She spotted Mr. Crumbs running behind the fridge. After explaining to her that the scream was uncalled for, I prepared for the second battle. I started by cleaning everything with disinfecting wipes and mopping the floors and behind the fridge looking for entryways. I found none. I upped my offense with more sticky traps! Quietness once again returned.
I was planning on making these Buffalo Chicken sliders for a gathering I was going to have so I went to the supermarket and bought everything I needed for my fun dinner. “this will be my chance to hit him where it hurts”, Mr. Crumbs though to himself! He ate all around my bread rolls! “This is personal”, I yelled! (My wife told me not to yell in the house). I went to Amazon for help and searched for the best traps and there is where I came across “CaptSure Humane Smart Mouse Trap” I was convinced that this would trick Mr. Crumbs for sure! After reading the recommendations about not leaving any other food lying around I placed my bread and the fridge. And set the traps out and waited.
Two days passed, I almost lost hope but then a Snap! I ran to the kitchen! Mr. Crumbs was in the trap, “You bested me” he proclaimed. I jumped with joy. The battle was won! And I am ready for whatever is next!
The moral of the story is never stop fighting! I also highly recommend these traps!
