Maybe, Julia's owl can stop preying on shoes and get that mouse.

M., maginary owls do catch imaginary mice, I think. And my dad recommended that same trap, Q. It's a bit on the Abu Ghraib side of things for me, but then again, convulsions don't sound fun either.

Not sure which poison you used, but when we had mice in Boston, our landlord became irate when I told him we put out D-Con. "Bastards live on that shit" were his exact words, I think, and he went on to claim that not only are Boston mice immune to it, they actually derive some nutritive value from it. I hope for your sake that their country cousins are made from weaker stuff.

We went with "Rampage," which touts itself as better than poisons based on warfarin (best. drug. name. ever.), which is what D-Con uses. Many mice and rats are resistant to it. I'd run in the other direction if I ever encountered a Boston mouse: the accent alone would probably make me crap myself.

Thanks for bringing us back down memory lane with this mouse thing. "Crunch. Crunch. Crunch." under the bed in the middle of the night...looking up from studying on the couch to watch a big one continually sneak out from behind the fridge to get a little more of the stuff.

Mmmm...poison yum-yum! ;-)
