Here daddy -- see the present I give to you?  Ain't I great!

As I recall, your basement is a bit more open to the elements than ours.
We have had problems with mice from time to time.  When we notice them
(or see evidence of their presence) I put out snap traps baited with
peanut butter and a raisin.  After a few nights, no more snaps.

We've been pretty much free of them for a good while now.  We took to
only storing sealed jars in the open.  Cereal is kept in a closed
container.

Has she actually gotten her tongue snapped?  Or just gotten whacked on
the nose?
