[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 376025, member: 805"] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="navy"]This one contains the REAL thing! Background - I live in a big old house - not a new air tight, no cracks, place. Once morning last week (not this past week) I noticed that the top of one of my tomatoes in the fruit bowl on the counter had some dime-sized holes in the top. I thought perhaps Spot had gotten up the counter and thought it was an apple. Put it in the trash. Two days later, two of the tomatoes had their tops eaten! Not a chance it was the dog because he was kenneled the night before and those tomatoes were not eaten when I went to bed. No droppings. So last Sat I was just mystified. My cousin came over for dinner and we just couldn't figure out how, if it were a mouse, why there were no droppings? Sunday morning I get up, my cousin calls and asked, "Any sign of night creatures?" "Nope!" "How about Spot's bowl?" "It's empty" "Sharon, there was food in there last night when I left. Didn't you go up to bed when I left?" Uhoh.... So, Sunday I went to Lowe's and bought some of those container type traps where you don't see the mouse. I made sure the fruit bowl was no longer on the counter - fridge. Made sure Spot's bowl was empty at night. Made sure the trash can was emptied before we went to bed. Nothing left out. I've put those darn traps out all week - nothing. Last night I stayed up late and went upstairs and forgot to empty Spot's bowl. This morning, no food in bowl and there was food in there last night - about 25 pieces of dry food. I have a light-colored, ceramic tile floor in my kitchen, I would see mouse droppings. There aren't any. I searched online last week and tons of sites said that mice actually carry their food and they love dog food. But heck, there are no droppings and I know that mice just walk and drop, eat and drop, breath and drop. What do you guys think? I'm wondering if it's a rat? Do they drop like mice? My sister in law says I should put out glue boards but the last thing I want is to come downstairs in the morning half asleep and find a rat struggling on a glue board...... Any ideas? Thanks, Sharon [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
