I was just heading off to bed, and I opened the cupboard door under the sink to throw away a bit of garbage. When I shut the cupboard door, I had an image in my mind of a grey furry shape, so when I swallowed, opened the cupboard door, and lifted the lid, I was still shocked to see the little furry buzzard staring at me with bright beautiful eyes as he leapt straight up in the air to escape. He didn't quite make it, so I shut the lid and closed the door in a nano-second! I'm not even afraid of mice, but it's the shock that gets you!
I listened as he managed to escape, presumably the way he entered!
Although I've tried to use humane traps in which they've died of starvation because I totally and shamefully forgot about them, I finally had enough. This was war.
Vanessa picked up a couple of the old fashioned traps for me, and for the first time in my life, I set one myself. It was too loose, so the little bugger got cake and peanut butter for free that night. I wised up and set it a bit tighter that very morning. Amazingly enough, I caught 3 over the course of the weekend, and although I cried every time I caught one, they have now wised up and realized I mean business!

Hard Brown Sugar?
