It will come as no surprise to anyone who knows Jeanine that she is genetically programmed to nourish those she cares for. It is one of the things I love about her. When it comes to mouse eradication, however, this predisposition is not helpful. In response to the night time sounds of a mouse scurrying across the floor of a room above our shared office, Jeanine deployed several mouse traps. When I checked them to see if the culprit had been dispatched, I discovered what I can only describe as a cheese buffet for wayward mice (first image). Nice mouse-sized pieces of cheese spread in an area of the trap far from the trigger. To further ensure an undisturbed mouse dining experience, the trigger was set to the safe position, from which it cannot be actuated. Pictured below is my buffet for cats who like to eat dead mice.
