They're back

You know, this could be a home and garden post, if I had a separate page for that. Or it could be helpful household hints from someone whose name begins with H. But mine doesn't and I only have one page. So lets just call this post an excellent tip that you might find handy around your home or office.


You see, it's that very fun time of year again. What time, you ask? Well, the time of year when my first duty in the office every morning is to check the mouse traps. It's all just part of the fun of having your office in the middle of large fields.



Yesterday morning they outsmarted all of my traps AND cleaned off all the peanut butter without springing them. I think these guys would be very good at pickup sticks.



But no worries, I was just checking if the reports I received from my co-workers were really true. They said the building had been invaded this week.


So then I brought out my secret weapon that I learned from my little brother. It takes a little effort to assemble all the arsenal, but it's very effective. You'll see, my brother knows about mouse traps. He lives on more acres of field mice than I do. It involves superglue, a peanut and your old fashioned trap.


While these critters might be good at pickup sticks, they usually are not planning on superglue. And I promise I won't take any photos.
