Trefecta- Wordless "Who expired First?"

Ron- Hubby thought I was strange making him hold it for me to get a picture!

Amy-One of the wonderfull things about basements it that they house more then we know or want to know. 

Charles-The bugs don't bother me, just means the traps work. Besides they don't smell.  The mouse and snake on the other hand- they have an odor- takes a couple of days of spraying the fabreez to tackle the smell.  As you might have guessed, I didn't ask just once for hubby's assistance in locating the source.

Russell-I would love to have a pouncy cat, but I am allergic.  I think have an average to normal respect for nature.  (I don't step on bugs outside.)

There is give and take in any relationship.  I am willing to let the creepy crawlies make their own decision as to whether they want to come in.  I will post a DO NOT ENTER and a STICKY TRAPS USED HERE  and hope that will be a deterrent.

Please do a post on the green-traps so I can see what you are suggesting. 

Paradox- what would happen if the same situation (frog,mouse,snake) ended up in a Green?  Do they just wait till released to continue their adventures.  The room these were in is storage so it doesn't get checked on a daily basis.

What would you suggest (besided a cat) that can be a first line of defence to keep the outside from getting to the inside living areas?-  cheryl(Pro-nature, just not in my house)willis

Darrin- check out your big box store, mine were found at Walmart.

Wm- in hubby's defense he is gone a lot so didn't have to deal with the couple of days of smell.  It is still gross but if you are not there, it is hard to care.

Kay- this time of year (fall-winter) they are drawn by the heat, The storage room is so packed at the time that he just couldn't find the trap.  I have been doing my spring clean this winter and that room was the priority.
