Mouse hunt

On Friday night, Jon and I, out of the corner of our eyes saw a mouse dart out from behind the TV and back behind a few times.
Great.
So we put some D-Con out and hoped for some good to come of it.

On Saturday night, Jon and I, out of the corner of our eyes, saw a mouse dart out of the toy/under the stairs closet and back in again.
Great.

So we stopped by Wal Mart on the way home from church and got some of these traps:

We cleaned out our toy closet where we have our food storage and didn't see any evidence of mice in there. Well we didn't take out the stuff that was ALL of the way in the back and already organized. Our food storage is in there in #10 cans and no entry was made into those.

Our 72 hr. kits were the next to be checked. They were actually in the closet in the spare room that needed to be cleaned out anyway (it's involved in the room change), so we cleaned out that closet and the 72 hr. kits were fine.


So we've cleaned out 2 closets that we suspected of being the hideout and didn't find anything. My pantry was just cleaned out on Monday and there was not any evidence of a mouse in there.
I pulled my couches out last week and there was not any evidence of a mouse back there.

So either the mouse is a recent acquisition or we haven't found where he's hanging out yet. It's just so weird because we haven't had ANY mice in the 3 years we've been here and all of the sudden we have one hanging out in our family room area of all places? I just don't get it.
The searching for his hideout is driving me crazy though!

I hope these traps do the trick and we can go back to being mouse free!
