All-clear!
Today was the last day of hurricane season, woo! – and a gorgeous day to boot!
It was us or them
Emily and I started hearing noises and seeing mouse droppings in our house a couple of weeks ago. So I went to the store and picked up a few of these neat humane traps – the “Mice Cube”. There a little one-way trapdoor that keeps the mouse from escaping once it ventures inside to eat a delicious peanut butter cracker. Well, after a week of no success and having the mouse saunter out into the middle of the kitchen floor to see what I was watching on TV twice, we decided more drastic measures were necessary.
On my second visit to the store I picked up some of these good old mouse-killin’ traps. 20 minutes after setting them up we heard a snap, 20 minutes after that another snap. After a week of trying with the ethical traps the classic trap solved our mouse problem in 40 MINUTES. I haven’t seen or heard a mouse since.
Now to be fair the killer traps were placed in a new spot we hadn’t tried with the other traps, a spot that must have had more mouse-traffic than where we had tried before. Perhaps though, there’s something to be said for a design that hasn’t changed much in over 100 years.

Enjoying Stumbling
I installed StumbleUpon a little while ago to help increase traffic to GreenDealsDaily (and it worked) – but I hadn’t used it for randomly finding good sites (its intended purpose). Well I gave it a try recently and it’s actually a pretty fun time waster. You should give it a try especially if you’re starting to get bored with your RSS feeds / bookmarks.
