Saw a mouse skittling in and out of one of our coops yesterday. So today after letting that group out, i closed the coop and set a rat zapper outside the pen where it was traveling. Checked the trap all day and nothing. When i went to open the coop tonight to get it ready for the chickens to go to bed, i saw i had trapped the mouse inside the coop. So i closed it up and set the rat zapper inside. Then had to bring all 8 of those chickens inside the house for bed. That was fun.
Checked several hours later and the mouse had not gone into the trap. Dang. i guess my only recourse is to keep setting traps until i catch it. But it grosses me out to think it will be in there peeing and pooing until then. i have a big job ahead cleaning and sterilizing that coop. i hate meeces to pieces!
