We had planned a quick unpack when we arrived home last night and took extra time when we broke camp at Kakabeka Falls to have everything well organized for unpacking quickly. However, when we walked into the house we discovered that our new house guests had made free with the kitchen and left traces of their presence all over counters and floors.
So, before even unpacking the trailer we set to work cleaning and sterilizing counters and floors so we could come into our own home. Thankfully we had left all food that we opened or in paper packaging in Rubbermaid tubs with lids for the summer. But, they still managed to find enough to set up house in our house.
Today the battle was continued in the laundry room with vacuuming and scrubbing of all the shelving and all our pots and pans on the shelves. More Rubbermaid tubs have been employed to seal all dry goods up and out of reach.
We finished by setting four traps baited with bread and peanut butter for them tonight around the garbage can, which appears to be where the most traces of mouse presence are left. I hope to hear the sweet sound of SNAP! SNAP! tonight before I fall asleep.
Tomorrow the battle continues.
