      So yesterday the mouse/rat managed to trip 2 small snap traps without getting caught and then ate the bait off of them (I know, pretty gangsta move) - so we bought 4 big ass Rat Snap traps. Over night it ate the peanut butter off two of them…this time without even setting them off (even more gangsta).

      In an effort to weed out the idea that it came though my air filter (pretty common place for mice to hang out), we opened them up
      And they looked good as new (well, 20 years old, lol).

      We have now bought industrial sized sticky traps and surrounded the hole that we think it’s going in  in the backseat.

      I am convinced this is the smartest mouse in the entire world.

      I did order some new traps that the exterminator (yes, I did call a professional) told me to buy, so they should be here tomorrow. If this isn’t taken care of by this weekend, I’m probably going to straight up lose it.

      On a positive note, I’ve been using uber and bumming rides from my employees for the last 2 days and I feel very metropolitan haha [emoji23]

          I can’t wait for the death of this thing. I don’t know what that says about me.

          Maybe so. Maybe not

            This made my night.

              Sticky traps are gross. When I used to do manufactured food facility inspections, occassionally you would find…a bunch of feet attached to them...

              The rats would get stuck and they would chew their feet off to get off the trap.

              I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                              I feel like this is one of those times where the only appropriate response is, "Sorry about your dick.".

                                          I assigned the ticket to Paula.  I knew I would let my natural inclination get the better of me…

                                          Her response.....

                                          We're really sorry your text disappeared, I presume from your unhappy tone that this was a glitch on our webform, and if so we are very sorry - we weren't aware of a problem but for sure will look into it.

                                          We're a small team based in the UK, so whilst our response is not 24/7 and our US customers may often have to wait a while till we come online, we do try to respond to customer queries and concerns as quickly and efficiently as possible.

                                          If you can let us your question (and I'm sorry if this means writing it out again) then we'll get back to you as quickly as we can. Or - I think from your 412 telephone area code that you are in Pennsylvania - we can call a bit later (ideally let us know what time would be best, we are I think 5 hours ahead of you).

                                          With best wishes
                                          Paula

                                            Man you guys are pro’s. I like the acknowledgment of his “tone.” Be interesting to see if he responds at all. I bet not due to the fact that he’s a peckerhead. And he’s gotta be embarrassed by his email especially because of  Paula’s rational,  polite and courteous reply.

                                            Maybe so. Maybe not
