Mice Musings part 2

2 little critters were waiting for us, one in the storeroom under the stairs, the other on the east side of the fireplace behind the wood pile. The old fashioned snap traps seem to be most effective and we need another dozen. Not much evidence of activity otherwise, most noticeable were the 'tracks' on the floor in the east bedroom and bathroom. I took the vacum and went to work on the floors and think there aren't any 'tracks' in evidence except possibly in the storeroom where I didn't clean.
There just might be something to the sonic devices in place in the kitchen and west bedroom since there was no sign of critter activity in those areas. We might need several more, including by the heater whenever we can get into that area. I have to woonder, what do they do about visiting critters back in the Empire State?
Speaking of cleaning, we need a new vacum filter. I cleaned out the existing filter but it's had a good workout. The vacum brush is clean and ready to go.

  1. I got one filter for the vacuum a couple of years ago at Bed Bath and Beyond. If you make a note of the brand and model, I'll look again - or we can look online. Bummer about still having critters but you may be right about the sonic devices. What brand are they so we can get more? Might as well stick with the brand that seems to be working.
