The Mouse & the Ketchup packet

The mouse has attacked the ketchup packets in my closed console of my car!!! I don't know how it got in there, but Friday morning when I went to get my chap stick out. I smelled ketchup. I just thought one of the packets has exploded.

It exploded all right. By the teeth of a mouse or possible mice. Who knows at this point?

Here is a picture.

So with this in mind, I've completely cleaned out my console. No more candy, ketchup, or bubble gum. My car is rid of all types or left over products of food. It is clean, except for.... Are you ready for this?

Rat Bait. Yes, I went to Parts Center, got a package of Rat Bait, put on rubber gloves, and very carefully placed 1/4 bar under my seat, 1/4 bar under my back seat, 1/4 bar in my console, and 1/4 bar on the hood of my car by my windshield.

On Saturday morning, I went outside with gloves on and discovered the bar on the hood was shoved down toward the motor and it was 1/2 eaten. There was mp (mouse poop) and the hood and their was no evidence of a mouse inside my car.

Yes, I think I got the little joker.  I checked again yesterday morning and again this morning. Still no sign of mp in my car or bites taken out of bait. I sure hope he is gone!

PS I had a long talk with Anna about how dangerous this bait was. I will remove it in about a week!
