I saw what looked like mouse droppings a few days ago so we figured we had picked up a "hitch-hiker." Roger could only find one mouse trap so he put some cheese on it and set it between the wall and the driver's seat. When we go up the next morning the trap wasn't there! Roger got the flashlight out and looked all around under the seat, by all the pedals, under the passenger seat - finally found it behind the love seat on the opposite side of the motorhome! Cheese gone - no mouse! Hmmmm......crafty little bugger!
So he went to the hardware store and bought 5 more traps: 1 "old fashioned" one, 2 "box" types, and 2 "sticky" pads. Figured the mouse couldn't be smart enough to allude all of them!
Well, he was right and the next morning he had caught the culprit but, he decided to leave the other traps out for a couple more days just in case the mouse's family had moved in too!
Soooo........the next day we were getting ready to go golfing and Roger asked me to grab the GPS - it was mounted on the dashboard of the motorhome on the drivers side - I went to detach it, dropped it and guess where it landed?! In the sticky trap! So, I try to get it out and in the process get the sticky glue on my fingers, on the cord, seemingly everywhere!! Roger comes to help and by the time we are done everything is stuck to this damn trap except the mouse!!!! We got to laughing - how dumb can we be??? We tried nail polish remover, acetone and finally charcoal lighter fluid to get it off! Hint - don't use cotton balls - because then you have a fuzzy, sticky mess!
I said "I feel so stupid!" and Roger responded "It's not your fault, it's just the natural progression of dying brain cells." That's supposed to make me feel better??!!!
