Well, nothing new since my first post. There was some evidence that there is still another one (more insulation pulled out of the hole about a week ago) but nothing has gotten caught in the trap again. My H did get some sticky rat trap pad things and re-set the whole area/trap. Well, it appears that one of those little buggers got his foot stuck on the corner of the sticky pad, and then chewed off the corner to get free! Seriously? Why couldn't he have just stayed there and been stupid so we could kill him!?
I'm feeling a little discouraged, and unsure of what is going to happen. It is getting colder here, been raining a lot as well, so I don't know if that is deterring it/them from coming out of hiding. If we don't catch another one by the weekend, I think my husband is going to try to rent a snake/camera thing.
If it comes to this, we will have to clear out the whole breezeway, roll up the carpet and cut a few holes in the sub-floor to see what is going on under there. Oh man, I really hope it doesn't come to that, but it is looking more and more like that will be the plan.
While we did want to rip apart the breezeway eventually (there is a soft spot in the sub-floor that needs to be repaired/looked at) we did not have this on the agenda to be done right now.
My husband did call an exterminator and since it is getting into the winter season, they will really only set traps/bait and remove any that are caught. So we don't feel that paying for that service will do any good since we have a trap set already.
Cross your fingers we catch one this weekend.....
