Little Buggers

Ever notice that as soon as the weather starts getting cold, all sorts of little buggers think that you have posted a "welcome sign" on your door that gives them license to come enjoy the warmth of your heated house?

Couldn't get a photo of this little bugger, but here's the evidence that a mosquito has invited herself into my house. Actually, in the past few weeks, I've seen about 3 mosquitoes in my house. Just when you think summer is over...

And what about THIS guy? I don't ever remember inviting HIM in!

TWO of these little buggers have squeezed their way in during the past few weeks. Thank goodness for this highly proficient trap! If you ever have a mouse problem, you HAVE to try this kind of trap. I've never found this trap tripped indicating that a mouse had been there, had his fill, and gotten away. It's either set and waiting for it's next victim, or has snapped on the head of some darling little mouse. It's so easy to empty too!

And what do we use as bait? Everyone together now... (and if you don't know the answer to this, you don't know our dad) peanut butter and raisins!

Here's another little bugger that likes to come inside when it's cold outside. And she's smart enough to sleep in the sunshine!

This little bugger, however, could care less if it's cold outside. She LOVES to be outside. She doesn't care if it's raining, snowing, whatever. She often sleeps outside...even in the rain and snow.
