After a day or two of mouse-free living, Rebecca and Neil happened to see a small mouse earlier this evening. At one point it seemed to be hiding out beneath the table holding Neil's printer.
Shortly after the mouse was observed in the living room Neil and I set up a few trap lines. We have one such line in the hallway that leads from the living room to the bedroom and another in the doorway between the living room and the kitchen. In each case a narrow gauntlet with multiple traps has been created. In addition to these (hopefully) impassable walls, we have scattered a few traps around the living room in areas that we suspect could be potential mouse highways (or where we have seen mice before).
I guess we should soon find out whether or not our most recent trapping efforts will be successful or not. I am hoping that they will be successful.
Oh, aside from this development meaning that we have a mouse, it also means that the hole that we located and filled with steel wool either hasn't been completely blocked or that it wasn't the only point of entry (a somewhat disheartening development).

Rebecca called the mouse trap lines "castles". They certainly look more like castles than lines to me!
