This morning there were three mice in sticky traps. Yesterday I disposed of two mice the cats brought in. This morning there was something that looked suspiciously like mouse remnants under the dining room table.Because the mouse traps we use are effective but have to be disposed of along with the mouse, we have now run out of traps. I have been checking WalMart the last couple of days, but they are out, too. I guess with the cooler weather, everyone is being overrun with mousies and having to stock up on traps. Today I go into Baraboo for a meeting and to pick up some mail from the District mailbox, so I will check the WalMart there to see if they are supplied.
Meanwhile, Tom took the fountain apart to bring it in, and he discovered there was a small hornets' nest in the base. We have been bothered by them all summer, but we couldn't figure out where the nest was. He zapped it thoroughly and we hope that is that. Fortunately it was so cool they were not active when he opened the fountain up.
