I'm not very good at looking before I leap and, in this case, slithered. Just inside the crawlspace access, the owners had put a glue pad mouse trap.
Those things are incredibly sticky!
It took a few minutes to get it off my coveralls and I had to stand on a board over the trap and peel the clothe away.
My client Jeff had a hearty chuckle and took the picture for me.
Yes. Thanks for the posting. We learn a lot and receive great info from Active Rain blogs. Best Regards,
Paul: Thanks for sharing- glad you were able to enjoy the humor of the situation! :)
Oops! They could have warned you about that! Thanks for sharing - I got a good laugh and it's a good thing to keep in mind. You have to enter with caution because you never know what a house inside/out/underneath has in store for you.
Paul, too funny. Those things are incredibly sticky----one time I found one with a mouse a lizard and a frog all on the same trap---like some sort of weird Disney movie. Also, it is going to take a lot more than that trap to make you look fat.
Those things are the worst! Cannot get the glue sticky off - no wonder they work so well.
It's not fun accidentally stepping on one either. They are incredibly sticky!!!
Dave- I think my default attitude toward most things is "irreverent". It might be why I work for myself now. :)
Jenn, some folks are "look, leap" people. Some are "leap, unh?" people. I'm pretty cautious about stuff that can bite but this was just funny. No harm, no foul.
Hi Dave, Thanks for the chuckle! You never know what you're going to find in a crawlspace. We don't have too many homes here in SW Florida with crawlspaces, but I just did one last week...what a mess!
Best Regards, Jay
