Mouse in the house!

So we saw our first mouse in the house about a month and a half ago. I of course was freaking out when jared told me he saw one run along the living room floor. So, we went out and got some traps. We put one in the basement because he thinks it came up through the drain. Another one in the living room because thats where we saw it, and we put another one in the kitchen. We soon caught 2 in the basement and 2 in the living room. I was freaking out because I'm thinking they are going to reproduce and have a mice infestation in our house! We kept the traps out and within the last month have probably caught 2 more in the kitchen. Then about 2 weeks went by where there weren't any and I thought we got them all!.... I was wrong!
Yesterday I started vaccuming the guest bedroom and I swore I saw one under the dresser, so quickly I moved into the kitchen to vacuum that, then the living room, then I moved to our bedroom. As soon as I snuck the vacuum in I saw one run from under Jared's dresser under our bed! I SCREAMED and dropped the vacuum. I couldn't decide if I should shut the door or just run out and let it wonder out the the traps.. so thats what I did! I left and went to the store to get more traps. I was sick and tired of these things and beyond scared of the little rodents!

So I got back and you should have seen me, walking through the house in tennis shoes and stomping in every room before I walked in. That night we went to Jared's dads house for dinner and I was telling them about it. They gave us some sticky traps to set out..so needless to say, we have about 10 out right now! That night I knew I wasn't going to be able to sleep because what if that thing was still in our room!!!!!

I woke up several times checking the trap in our room... nothing. The next morning I got up when I heard Jareds alarm and went on a hunt around the house to check all the traps. I did find the living room trap upside down!! I went to get Jared and sure enough there was a dead one. I'm REALLY REALLY hoping that he was the only one in here and I got him. I did some DEEP cleaning today. Made sure there were no crumbs on the counters, floors, under couches.. etc. I bought an air tight container for the dog food and moved that outside. I'm really hoping that the dog food was what they were attracted to. Please pray we have no more mice because the next time I see one I might go crazy!! I will call an exterminater next time, and then that will suck because you have to try and find them when they die! uhh.. stupid things, no one likes them!
