Glad to know that you finally caught the little bugger! I understand your affection with the tried and true but...............the electronic version really works good. Living in the forest we have had a few troublesome rodents and have found the "Rat Zapper" to be very effective. A little peanut butter and a flip of the switch ................. ZAP and then shake the offender into the trash. The have a smaller version for mice but the larger one works fine for both.

PS next time try a little of Cindy's Gumbo!! could take a few days of off the catch.
