Living in the country, of course, means we have all kinds of critters. We mostly like them, except when they take up residence.From time to time, we discover mouse droppings. When we do, we put out poison and the mouse droppings disappear, for a while.
Seldom is a mouse as bold as this one, who came out in the middle of the day. What made us notice is that he was dragging this block of rat poison around with him all over the house.
I presume the mouse poison did it's trick, but we continued to see droppings even on our next visit. When I went to look for the rat poison, I found the mice had already helped themselves. They had chewed a hole in the bottom of the package and eaten one, leaving the empty wrapper inside.

I'm always hesitant to use poison bait in the house- w/ my luck, the critter would end up dieing in a wall, somwhere.
Tracking down the smell can be difficult vs. using snap traps baited w/ some tasty cashew nuts superglued to the trigger.
