Well, that was the plan, as I've only had one other
mouse in the house and that was 2 or 3 years ago.

But my karma bartering may end. I looked over the back
fence, and there are an easy dozen mouse-sized holes in
the dirt beside the culvert.

I doubt the mice I've caught this time were the same
mouse*, so if the cover plate doesn't stop the invasion
I'll have to start leaving out poison baits.

Exactly my worry if the numbers start getting into
the range of statistical significance.

* - and it's up to 3 now; the last one was an ugly scene,
as he'd been caught in the trap overnight and either
the Stilton had disagreed with him or he'd gotten
claustrophobic (a claustrophobic mouse? there's a
trick...) or maybe they really do just go wherever and
whenever, because the trap was dripping mouse gunk of
all sorts.
