Son of a ********************.

Just went out to check on the remaining four traps.

Three adhesive traps and the small wooden snapper trap.

The wooden snapper trap is gone. how in the hell does a wooden mouse trap go missing in that cabin. I mean... if it snapped on a mouse neck...

Looked under the seats... looked in the area under the passenger airbag... nothing.

I look at the wiring under the dash... some wires I have running here and there... and the wiring behind the two middle console carpet pieces and there's no facking way a stuck mouse is pulling those traps through those minefields of wire.

I appreciate the comments thus far and welcome additional insight kinda leaning around responses associated with "Where are the traps".

It doesn't help that my carport neighbor didn't leave me much room to open the driver's side so I could position my body to better look under the dash. The mirror coupled with a flashlight hasn't revealed anything yet.

Are there any access areas outside the car that would allow a mouse to enter the cabin? The top and front engine covers securely are affixed.

Thanks guys.

Those traps don't always get them by the neck. It all depends on their body position when the trap is triggered. It could get a limb, or the tail, etc. I've had a few of them dragged away.

Gotcha. They must be tough ****************ing mice to have limbs caught in adhesive, or the snap-trap then pulling their bodies through a minefield of wires into the tight orifices of the cabin. I'm flumoxed.

Asked the wife to alert the neighbors to move their truck so fully I can open the driver door. Hopefully by the time I get home at 6P tonight so I can find those darn rodents. It's not so much the crap... I can vacuum that... but I don't want them chewing on more wires.

Cheers!
