... or the mouse.
Last week I decided to check the interior of the cab for dust since I hadn't opened the doors in a couple months. I noticed mouse droppings on the carpets. About 15 pieces at that time. Notices I had the rear engine cover off... vacummed up the mouse droppings... installed the engine cover.
Check it a few days later... a few more mouse droppings... and then vancuumed.
This morning there some more droppings so put some cheese in a small mouse trap... the snap one that comes down on the neck. A couple hours later went to the store and saw the glue traps. Picked up the four pack... small... about, what, 3-4 inches by 5-6 inches. Put one behind both passenger and drivers seats, so two traps there... and put the remaining two in the front driver passenger sides pushed up against the "wall" of the middle console. This was around noon today.
Went out a few hours later. Both rear traps intact. There. Passenger side front trap... there.
Drivers side... saw the snapping trap with the cheese. Nothing. I wasn't using my flashlight... looked to where I placed the glue trap (again, next to the middle console sitting in front of the gas pedal about an inch back... where the heel would rest). I didn't see the "shiny" of the adhesive/glue. Put a flashlight on it... gone.
Thinking that the mouse and trap were under the handle you pull to move the seat back/forward cautiously I grabbed the handle and pulled the seat back.
Nothing.
Looked under both seats. Nothing. Looked behind the top engine cover, in the very back of the convertible top... under the vinyl window... in the event it scurried itself and the trap up and over... nothing.
Pulled the "cover" that sits under the passanger airbag. Some droppings (so it/they had too been there). Some droppings... but no trap. No mouse.
Pulled off the two carpeted side pieces from in front of the middle console... nothing.
Opened the frunk... looked around the battery area and either side... no droppings. No mouse. No trap.
Started with four traps early this afternoon. And only three are there.
Fellas... what would you do? Where would you look? It's not like it's a huge cabin with lots of hiding spaces. Further... I can see how a mouse could drap that 3-4" by 5-6" trap. Sure... it's thin. But there aren't a lot of places a mouse in distress can pull that part through.
Thank you for your consideration. I'm dying to hear what thoughts about the matter you may have.
