Update on my War on Mice...
After a couple weeks of no success with my live trap I have started sealing up anywhere and everywhere I think/know the mice are getting into the walls. Today as I was going outside to get the mower I found myself face-to-face with one of the effers.
Upon standing there and staring at me for about thirty seconds, he darted off into an area I didn't have sealed up-- yet. Upon finishing up with cutting the grass I went and got another can of that spray foam, and went to town on the areas I had seen the mouse go. Also picked up a few snap traps, and have a two of them out in the area I've been seeing the mice.
Good news and bad news. Good news, the mice still don't appear to have actually gotten inside the house, just in the wall and under the siding on my garage. Also, sealing up the stuff is beginning to work-- later this evening as I was going into my breezeway I saw a different mouse looking around, trying to get into some of the areas I have already sealed up. Bad news? The effer went up under the siding in a NEW spot-- looks like I'm going to have to get can #4 of spray foam.
