There's a mouse at the new KuoMo-tel 
I guess there has to be a tradeoff to finding a really spacious apt in a great location. But god... why a mouse??
Saturday night, 3am
I heard a loud scratching sound coming from the sink/oven area Saturday night.. being the first night I was spending alone there, it freaked me out.
Sunday evening, 6pm
I'm sitting in the living room floor putting a chair together, and I see Lucifer the mouse dart across the kitchen floor. I screamed my head off, grabbed my crap and ran over to Jon's for refuge.
Monday evening, 7pm
Armed with 4 mouse traps later, i drag jLin back to Lucifer's new pad in a mission to re-claim my home. We lay down those icky sticky glue-y cardboard mouse traps in these gaps in the kitchen.
Then.. I read this...
Glue traps will hold mice with a special glue, but they can be ineffective with high temperatures or in dusty locations. [http://ctct.essortment.com/howtogetrido_rsuk.htm]
... Great.. so in this 100° heat, and the dustbowl that the apt is, i'm really hoping I don't go back tmrw to find sticky dusty footprints all over the kitchen floor and no mouse in the cardboard box.
Can you see the resemblance?
  
[Lucifer, the mouse] [Lucifer, the devil] [Lucifer, the cat in Cinderella]
It's that mean nasty glare they all have!!
.. if only Lucifer the mouse was as cute as Gus Gus (the pudgy cute mouse in Cinderella..)
Does anyone know how to get rid of it?
------------------------------------------------
Update:
I dragged poor Lisa back to the apt yesterday (Thank you soooo much!!) and unfortunately, didn't see any mice tails poking out from the traps. I think I almost gave her a heart attack by being so scared out of my mind. I really wished they were caught in the traps so at least I knew they were dead. After inspecting the apt more, we found evidence of mice on my boxes . Really bummed about that...
On an up note... talked to my super today, and supposedly an exterminator was there yesterday! [How come everyone knows except for the tenant..?!] So ::cross your fingers:: that Lucifer and his gang are gone for good and dying from ingesting the poison!! die die die!!
In the meantime, I'm realizing I'm super jumpy lately.. walking around outside yesterday, I got startled everytime I saw something on the sidewalk move. Which means leaves, cigarette box wrappers, and pieces of flying cardboard are freaking me out... ahhH! Someone help me get my sanity back
