Relate a story about a mouse in the house.

That one is easy since we always had mice in the house. They were in the house when Pee Wee (our dog) and Smokey (our cat) were not even allowed in the house. Of course mom didn't want the mice in there either but they came in under the old foundation and always found a way in through several areas of the basement. When I was living in the basement there was a bookshelf next to the wall between the bedroom and the study room. There was about a 2 inch gap at the bottom between the shelf and the wall. I discovered that it was their favorite place to get into my bedroom so I started placing a trap right there against the wall, it had no bait but it didn't matter since they would run into the room, over the trap, and that would make me have to empty another dead mouse from out of the house. I caught over a dozen in one day using that method. I was only able to control the mice but never totally get rid of them since they came in from outside from the fields but at least it was a lot easier to catch them that way then with adding bait to the trap.
