Cost of dealing with mouse/mice at 83 Durant Street:
Initial spending:
Victor (TM) brand basic spring traps, 8 @ 50¢ .....................$4
Peanut butter (Jiff Crunchy), pro-rated ....................................5¢
(We do keep peanut butter in the house, so we cut them a break on that)
(Also keep in mind that they stole an entire trap.)
Upgraded spending after initial spending provided no results:
Victor (TM) brand "Easy Set" model spring traps, 6 @ $1....... $6
More peanut butter.....................................................................5¢
Bacon, pro-rated........................................................................25¢
1 hot dog from the local meat shop...........................................33¢
1 package gumdrops.................................................................50¢
(we do not keep hot dogs or gum drops in the house, therefore the critters incur the full charge)
Finding out you don't have mice: priceless.

Actually, in our case, finding out we don't have mice has so far cost us $32.99, plus maybe another nickel's worth of peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteFor those of you still puzzling out what's in our attic, here's a run down of your evidence: The critters are nocturnal, are not mice, don't like bacon, and have now caused us to spend $32.99 on something.
